Basicaly, I will use de sinergy between Dain and Brend to increase de dwarves power and discard both race conditions  to double move. Dain, reduces the pay of my mens, almost all ally are putting on the table for zero cost

Jarnsmid, Merchant from Dale reduces the cost of my axes.

The main strategy consiste to put gandalf on the table more fast as possible to play all my Allys; so, I can use
Last Stand and Guidance of the Istari to pump up the atack of my fellows. For each exert, I can put 2 token on last stand, so, I exert all my allys and Grimbeon (he is self-healling! YES!) to improve more and more my power.
Elrond Heal my Allys, helping the deck mecanic. Guidance of the Istari can improve  at +8 in my power

The other cards help to cicle my hand and remove burdens
besides,  my conditions can be discarted to double movies!

What you thing about this deck?
Sugestions PLEASE!

Thanks my friends!

Book of mazarbul only works in fellowship block, I would replace it for ring of fury so that you can play it on Gimli. Otherwise I think this deck is amazing.

[Haszor]

^^ and what shadow are you using?  You're gonna need something with good stopping power, cause when they see this thing, unless they're really good, they're gonna make a run for it.

[Not a Zombie]

I'd drop Hall of our Fathers and Book of Mazarbul for two more Elrond, LoR. He'll help you cycle and you want to draw him to keep your allies healed.

[hsiale]

Even 3 more Elronds would not be too much, but this card is on Expanded format R-list.

I Can use only 1 Elrond in this format!

I´ll gona use a TENTACLE DECK! I can post it here if you can!

I´ll remove the book, but a needed trade with a CONDITION... because, conditions can be discarted to make double moves! What you suggest?

[NappyKorn]

Well Book of Mazarbul isn't a condition anyway, its a possession.

FACE PALM! kkkk you´re alright! anyway... any suggestions?

[hsiale]

You don't need that many of those conditions anyway You can't do more than 4 double move during a game.

I would remove:
- Book of Mazarbul
- 2x Dwarven Skill (you have Last Stand)
- 1x Watch and Wait
- Hall of Our Fathers
- Gimli's Battle Axe, Vicious Weapon (not much use of it on Dain)

This gives 6 free places. I'd add Pallando, Glamdring, Foe-hammer (replaces Watch and Wait additionally pumping Gandalf), some non-unique axe for Dain (Axe of Khazad-dum if your adventure path has many mountains, Dwarven Axe otherwise), another Stalwart Support (free condition, perfect to discard with Dain), Radagast, The Brown (move limit can really save you from time to time) and Ring of Fury (2 extra resistance never hurts if you use alternate ring-bearer). Also I feel that The One Ring, Ring of Rings can be a better choice for this deck than the one you use.

[walyn]

COOL!
I´ve liked you ideas!

Gandalf, Returned fits this deck definitely better than Manager of Wizards. But on the other hand Brooding on Tomorrow definitely is no longer the way to go and should be replaced by Pallando, Far-travelling One. Or a few Blood Runs Chill (though to go this way you'd need to focus the deck way more on the side and I'm not sure if it's worth it).

If you want to use Gandalf's Hat, you definitely need way better burden removal. Not only Glamdring, Foe-hammer, but also at least two Watch and Wait (or replacing Glamdring, Foe-hammer and Shadowfax, Roaring Wind by Narya and Shadowfax, Greatest of the Mearas). Your ring-bearer has at most 9 resistance, that's not a lot if you want to add any burdens by yourself.

Gandalf´s hat it´s looks more a emergencial like in a triple final move strike, por exemple.

And yep, I´ll replace Broonding on by Pallando, I´ve just forget to trade here!

THANKS!
