Obviously the point of this deck is the slightly off-the-wall Free Peoples side with the principle being simple: get Counter of Foes as big as you can and play Battle to the Last to kill stuff. Hilarious combo with CoF is Lend Us Your Aid which makes Gimli strength +5 damage +2 and each Elf strength +3. The Shadow side is more of a placeholder than anything else but it's pretty decent and it's high number of battleground sites helps Vicious Weapon do its thing on the FP side.

So what are we thinking about this lot?

You could throw in a couple Brutality, (if it isn't x/r listed) as well as a couple Uruk Hai Scout just in case you get a bad draw with your Suffered Much Loss.

Uruk Lieutenant could also be a good card.

I would say put in Ring of Retribution and Honed if you can fit it in. Endurance of Dwarves is kind of shaky because if it gets discarded your dead, but if you manage to get 2-3 on Giml he's amazing. I've made similar decks to this, normally I use Great Day, Great Hour to combo with Quick as May Be and Gimli's Battle Axe, VW.

I'd love to use Brutality, but unfortunately it works for not minions. Uruk-hai Scout is a good idea though.

I'm running 1 Ring of Retribution already, but Great Day, Great Hour is an excellent idea, even better because I have 2 lying around not doing much! But it does open the can of worms: when do you count his damage bonus? I'm sure I've given a ruling on this sort of thing in the past, but I can't remember what it is...

to you both.

Sorry, I was looking thru your deck, and assumed that it was mostly  [Uruk-Hai].

you definetly need the best battleground card out there: invincible uruk, no need for comments on that guy
