Lord of the Rings Living Card Game-- My Three Tier Dwarf Deck For Khazad-Dum


 
 
With my three heroes pictured above I played through the 3 quests included in Fantasy Flight's Khazad-Dum expansion to their excellent The Lord of the Rings Living Cardgame. This is the decklist: (50 cards)

Allies (17 cards)
3x Gandalf
1x Erebor Hammersmith
1x Erebor Recordkeeper
3x Erebor Battle Master
3x Veteran Axehand
2x Miner of the Iron Hills
2x Longbeard Orc Slayer
2x Longbeard Map-Maker

Attachments (17 cards)
2x Song of Kings
1x Song of Battle
2x Steward of Gondor
1x Boots From Erebor
2x Born Aloft
1x Dwarrowdelf Axe
1x Ring Mail
1x Legacy of Durin
1x Dunedain Warning
3x Dunedain Quest
2x Forest Snare

Events (16 cards)
2x Lore of Imaldris
3x Durin's Song
1x Fresh Tracks
1x Swift Stroke
2x Sneak Attack
2x Feint
3x Khazad! Khazad!
2x Ancestoral Knowledge

This is not intended to be the best deck for Khazad-Dum, but it provides the perfect balance of creature killing, healing, defense, and questing. The real ass beater is the Erebor Battle Master--with all dwarf allies and heroes pumping up his attack he can take down anything from a goblin to a cave troll. Thalin's ability helps clear out the goblins that clog up the staging area.
The only weakness is threat removal--only Gandalf's arrival can reduce threat. Since I played through this expansion, I have since added more cards to my collection so I may try again with a different set of heroes.
