Isildur, surrounded by Dwarves - Sauron called: he wants his ring back!

[Gil-Estel]

Ok, Islidur is one of the best AR's around. He is strong, in general quite easy to get fairly high on resistance and his assigning text isn't too hard. Exert 3 compagnions is not too cool, but you can deal with it.
And sure my dwarves can deal with healing! Let's take a look:

*The One Ring, Isildur's Bane (1R1)

The fellowship:

The Dwarf conditions stay around due to Gimli's text, which is cool, because those conditions provide you with tokens. And tokens are being used by Aragorn to heal some more. All compagnions are strong, the Dwarves heal a lot, I like it

Shadow:

Add burdens, let Enquea pay a visit and get the ringbearer corrupted. If not, just kill the lot!

Comments are welcome!

[Kralik]

Why is My Axe is Notched in here?

[NappyKorn]

I would assume it is just a token collector for Aragorn to do his trick and for a token for Ring of Barahir to spot to heal as well .

[Kralik]

Ah, of course.

[daisukeman]

Nice. I would try fitting in an Orc Patrol (5U107) or two instead of some orcs that have 2 vitality (may be little since they can be exhausted by playing the conditions and therefore discarded before even fighting). Plus, it's always good to have something to discard conditions, even more if you are playing orcs.

[ket_the_jet]

Why not use Battle Tested instead of Flurry of Blows? If you are stacking cards on Preparations or throw in a copy of Ever My Heart Rises, Battle Tested is the way to go.

I would definitely play Ever My Heart Rises over My Axe Is Notched.

[Elrohir]

Why no "The ring is mine" and "Orc Officer"?

[Gil-Estel]

Ever my heart rises can hurt me as well. It would need more cards to get certain cards back that are stacked on EMHR. My Axe is Notched is an easy way to get tokens, and tokens heal Dwarves. These Dwarves are hard to kill with all the healing that is going on.

Raffie.....The Ring is mine is 4 times there! Orc Officer is a nice addition though, will consider it.

Thanks for the reviews.

[Elrohir]

[...].....The Ring is mine is 4 times there![...]

Sorry about my mistake. For Heavy Corrupting you could think about Mordor fighter, Gorgoroth Stormer and Gothmog's Warg as well.

Rest By Blind Night is a good way to get the cards from Ever My Heart Rises back into the draw deck.

Also, Dwarven Heart combos nicely with Axe of Erebor.
