With this deck you'll play a lot of songs :) Song of Kings and Song of Travel should in first instance go on Bifur since you can transfer resources from other heroes to him and then play other sphere cards. Master of the Forge and Rivendell Minstrel will help finding those Song attachments along with the Love of Tales that will boost resources. The Minstrel should help in questing but the heroes are already very good at it. To finish some heavy quests Lay of Nimrodel and Longbeard Map-Maker will make use of the piled-up resources at the late stages of the game (after Bifur became the Steward of Gondor).

I replaced Beravor with Gríma and added few other cards that utilize the Doomed keyword (Isengard Messenger and Power of Orthanc which replaced the Miner of the Iron Hills). Sneak Attack + Gandalf should be enough to bring the threat back. Gandalf and Forest Snare should take care of nasty enemies and if not then Bifur with Durin's Song will finish them off. There is enough card draw (Bilbo Baggins, Gléowine and Mithrandir's Advice).

Since I am going to play through the Dwarrowdelf Cycle with this deck I will play Celebrían's Stone on Bilbo Baggins and use him for questing (this way his willpower shouldn't drop to 0 in The Redhorn Gate scenario). Protector of Lórien and A Burning Brand will go on Gríma and he will be used as main defender, since Bifur will be too precious to risk losing with all those attachments that are crucial for the engine of this deck. Henamarth Riversong, Longbeard Elder and A Test of Will provide some encounter deck manipulation. Dwarven Tomb will allow to replay those events. Some other cards like the Longbeard Orc Slayer, Haldir of Lórien, Thror's Map and Miruvor add some versatility. One card I am considering dropping now is Faramir since there should be already enough quest power, but I have to play this deck a little more to make this decision

Edit for version 2.0, 13-08-16: I've replaced Power of Orthanc (went to the sideboard) with Rumour from the Earth because there are not so many conditions to deal with in the Dwarrowdelf Cycle after all. I've finished all quests in this cycle except for Shadow and Flame. Sadly this deck doesn't stand a chance against that scenario.

Wow! Thank you for the very interesting article featuring this deck WanderingTook. The parent/child tree is indeed one of the best features of Ringsdb that I almost seamlessly used when publishing my first deck here. I also like the direction in which you took it in your iteration. Cheers!
