General Strategy

Part of a two-Dwarf combo with Fror, Gimli's Kinsman to counter two of the three major minion races in Fellowship block, Farin is indispensable against Moria Swarm decks and other skirmish-based Orc strategies.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strong Versus...

  • Any Orc

Weak Versus...

  • Hate and Anger decks when not paired with Fror
  • Decks with no Orcs (Nazgul, Uruks)
  • The Balrog or the Cave Troll of Moria (Farin's base strength is too low to survive them)
