I WILL make dwarves work in FOTR.

[silver.telperion]

If you are worried about the Balrog, throw in a few copies of Hobbit Stealth and let Frodo take care of the Balrog.

[legolas3333]

you can't cancel skirmishes involving the Ring-Bearer

[SomeRandomDude]

Actually, you can in Fellowship block. See O Elbereth Gilthoniel. The rule was made with tower block, so FotR block, a lot of people play that you can.

The rule was made with tower block, so FotR block, a lot of people play that you can.

Actually, that rule was made after Reflections because of ARB's. In regards to Towers Block, see Frodo's Cloak.

Your deck looks great... I decent way to make dwarves work in FOTR is also to use Realm of Dwarrodelf and have a huge draw deck. Strenght +3 every turn is great.

remove
dwarf guard x1
dwarven armor x3
remove 3xdelving 2xpaths put , bounderx2 ,rare frodo and you can 2x hobbit stealth if you want

ulaire nertea x2
goblin flankers x2
add x2 they are coming
remove goblin scrabblers x4 and add 2x goblin wallcrawlers
remove 1 moria scout

Now you will have a 35/35 deck , not so terrible

[Ringbearer]

I would suggest starting the party field and add a bilbo, well-spoken Gentlehobbit or 2 to take acre of some conditions... you play plenty of tales, can always sac one or two.

CAuse I played against dwarves with my meatgrinder (UTWE, ORc Bowmen, Hate) and its an autoloss for dwarves.... even with him having Greatest Kingdom turn 1.

[Malachi]

You're kidding? Dwarves/Moria cycles like crazy, I have a deck even bigger than this one and usually only have 10-12 card in deck by site 9. And delving is critical if you don't get the Book of Mazarbul too early.

Add another They Are Coming and Goblin Swarms.

Remove the 3 copies of Ulaire Nertea, Messenger of Dol Guldur and replace with two copies of Ulaire Enquea. I would dump the two Goblin Flankers and four Moria Scouts and replace with four Goblin Sneaks. These guys are great for getting that perfect site eight/site nine swarm with such a small draw deck.

Personally, I would remove the four Goblin Backstabbers and the four Goblin Scrabblers. Then add three Guard Commanders.

Now you are down to 34 cards with a guaranteed kick-#$&*@! last Shadow phase.

As for the good guys, you have to use Gimli, Dwarf of Erebor with this deck. If you have that Cave Troll a little early, why not put him beneath your draw deck? Coupled with Goblin Sneak, this guy will run the train. I have always found dwarves to be about endurance until card stacking came about, so:
Drop one Gimli's Helm
Drop one Dwarf Guard
Drop three Dwarven Armors
Drop three Hand Axes
Drop four Flurry of Blows
Drop one Till Durin Wakes Again
Drop two Power According to His Stature

Add one Greatest Kingdom of My People or Bilbo, Well Spoken Gentle-Hobbit
Add two Gimli's Battle Axe
Add one Dwarven Axe
Add one Grimir, Dwarven Elder
Add two Dwarven Hearts
Add two Bounders
Add one There and Back Again

Use Frodo, Old Bilbo's Heir.

Listen, when it comes to swarm, you have two copies of Sting and so you'll do alright there. Your real concern should be Direct Wounding. Hate destroys this deck.

But good luck!

To fend of Balrog's(with my Hobbit deckthat still needs some work) I use, granted you have them inyour hand, but I use Hobbit stealth.
