Dwarven Choke - Free Peoples (Expanded)
« on: August 15, 2025, 08:53:00 PM »
As the physical cards are getting harder to find these days, I gathered a large physical collection of common and nostalgic decks to play with family and friends as a pre-built game.  I'm posting these decks as a reference and for feedback/discussion to improve on them.  The decks are split into free peoples and shadow sides, all interchangeable at 35 cards each.  There are some obvious drawbacks in doing it this way, but it is 100% worth it to allow mixing/matching and keeping each game unique and interesting.  The idea is to make thematic and fun strategies while maintaining a balance.  These are built with physical cards, so any in the $100+ range are not always going to make it in for their high costs and to maintain balance among the decks.  I include cards from the Expanded format and rules, but some decks might also fit into other formats.  This is one of those decks:

[Dwarven] Dwarven Choke - Free Peoples (Expanded)

Starting:
The One Ring, The Ring of Rings
Gimli, Bearer of Grudges
Linnar, Dwarven Lord
Durin III, Dwarven Lord

Possessions:
Ring of Fury
Ring of Retribution
Ring of Guile
Gimli's Helm
Dwarven Axe x3
Hand Axe x3
Dwarven Bracers x3
Belt of Erebor x3
Dwarven Armor

Events:
Delving x2
Axe Strike x4
Sharp Defense x4

Conditions:
Stalwart Support x2
Till Durin Wakes Again x2
Proud and Able x2


Notes:
It is a simple yet effective strategy.  Ring of Fury goes on Gimli, and the rest is simple.  The point is to choke twilight.  A friend of mine used something like this 20 years ago.  It was tough to beat.

I would love to hear any feedback/suggestions.
