= General Strategy =

Unlike other [Dwarven] card-stacking conditions released in The Two Towers, Courtesy of My Hall is only ever capable of stacking one card by itself. A player can combine this with cards such as Suspended Palaces and Come Here Lad to extend the usefulness of Courtesy of My Hall's healing, but very much like the other conditions there are only benefits for Free Peoples cards stacked. Cards such as Toss Me and Halls of My Home can be used to manipulate the top of the draw deck, as well as many [Elven] or [Gandalf] foresight cards such as Forewarned, Gift of Foresight, Strands of Elven Hair or On Your Doorstep. Since Courtesy of My Hall heals any Dwarf, it may be used to heal not only a [Dwarven] companion but also the allies [[lotr01027|Thrarin, Dwarven Smith]] and [[lotr01017|Grimir, Dwarven Elder]]. However, if it is discarded with extra cards stacked, not only  does a player lose Courtesy of My Hall and all cards stacked on it, but the cards used to stack cards onto Courtesy of My Hall are also effectively wasted (Set 7's Gimli Feared Axeman can protect your effort from such risk).

When combined with Dwarven Foresight, Courtesy of My Hall's real value is enabling a player to put any Free Peoples card from discard into hand during the fellowship phase, as long as he or she [[rule_of_4|has not yet drawn 4 cards]]. Although it is unique, the Free Peoples player can discard Courtesy of My Hall with Axe of Erebor (or shuffling it back into the deck through Rest by Blind Night and Restless Axe) and play another copy from hand or use Defending the Keep to replay a copy from discard during the next fellowship phase. Dwarven Foresight and Defending the Keep can be recycled through cards like [[lotr01017|Grimir]], Great Works Begun There or Storm of Argument, allowing for reliable on-demand card retrieval.

* Useful with Axe of Erebor to provide an extra boost

=== Weak Versus... ===
