Help me build a dwarven/moria deck

[Andrax]

I want to get back into the game, my friends and I played around fellowship and TTT block. So, when I get them to dust of their old decks I want a deck that is still compatible with theirs (as fractions and sitepath changed with shadows, right?).

I always loved moria and dwarves, but with the cards we had it wasn't possible to build a dwarven deck that didn't suck. When I am right it was already possible to make dwarves ringbearer in reflections, so I would like to make a dwarven only free-peoples site. As I have no idea of all the new cards and what is good I want you guys to help me with a decklist.

So has anybody input on a dwarven decklist? I would like them to be bashy, but maybe there are other strategys that are good, for example, I saw all these dwarven rings in reflections and a one ring that lets you fetch rings, maybe that's a good theme?

Next there are the  moria goblins. I build a swarm deck in the past, but because of limited cards access it wasn't that good, but I liked the theme. I know you can also build a moria archer deck, can you guys tell me wich strategy is better and provide me a decklist? I know all the good old moria cards (and I just bought five displays of fellowship so I hope I will have them all, except, of course, the few cards from mines of moria)  but maybe there are goodies from the never sets, too?

Thanks in advance.

This doesn't look too focused. Can you say something about it, do you think is better than a focused swarm/archery? If so, why?

looks fun, but you only have 13 minions

[GarrisonofGondor]

 True, but you don't need to many minions. I recommend throwing in 2x Orc Taskmaster and 2x Gorgoroth Stormer.

[Andrax]

Looks nice, but sadly isn't what I wanted. I really want a deck with old sitepath (to stay compatible with my friends, telling them to invest in new cards isn't the right way to lure them back in the game) and only moria on the shadow part.

Looks good, some questions regarding the free peoples, moria seems fine:

1. some of the cards are from later sets, so illegal in this format, right?

2. I thought that book of marzabul only works with fellowship sites and in movie block you have to use others?

3. Why this gimli and that ring (again a ring from a later set = illegal?) Doesn't this gimli suck, as you don't want him to fight or am I missing something?

As said, your moria looks streamlined, but so far no one suggested moria archery, is a swarm better?

[Aragorn_Ellessar]

Moria is more efficient at swarm. Moria archery tends to be really expensive, and there aren't really that many cards that add to the minion total archery.

[Andrax]

Thanks for the input, can you please also answer my other questions?

[Aragorn_Ellessar]

Thanks for the input, can you please also answer my other questions?

1. Sorry, I'm really not the person to answer which ones are allowed, and which aren't. Although I think, if they are from anything after Siege of Gondor, you can't use them

2. I believe you would be correct.

3. I believe that both the Gimli and the Ring are illegal. I'd guess that the reason he chose Gimli, is that Gimli goes extremely well with cards like Lord of Moria, (Gimli plus the ring of rings plus 4x Lord of Moria + 1 Dwarven axe + 1 Hand axe + Dwarven Bracers + Dwarven Armor + Proud and Able = 15 resistance = no problem with burdens.).

4. Moria is more efficient at swarm. Moria archery tends to be really expensive, and there really aren't that many cards that add to the minion archery total.

[Gerontius]

1. some of the cards are from later sets, so illegal in this format, right?
Proud and Able and Sharp defense are both illegal in this format, so moving it into expanded might help.
2. I thought that book of marzabul only works with fellowship sites and in movie block you have to use others?
I think so. If you're right you might want to put in Tidings of Erebor instead which is great for avoiding the rule of 4.
3. Why this gimli and that ring (again a ring from a later set = illegal?) Doesn't this gimli suck, as you don't want him to fight or am I missing something?
The ring is also illegal in this format. This Gimli is the only dwarven ringbearer, and I'm assuming he's using it so he can start Durin III and another dwarf. Durin III is a tank, not to hard to get him to 15+ strength, but personally I prefer not to rely on him as much as this deck seems to.
As said, your moria looks streamlined, but so far no one suggested moria archery, is a swarm better?

I've never made a Moria swarm deck but from what I know it seems to be the most effective. The Moria decks I've made so far are typically archer with a sweet combo with Frenzy. I also throw in Watcher in the Water and the tentacle swarm with Evil Smelling Fens just for fun, but that deck doesn't work as well as most swarms.

EDIT: It looks like Aragorn_Ellessar beat me to it. Reflections is allowed though, meaning the Gimli, Durin III, Linnar, etc. are legal.
