This deck is a thematic deck to represent the alliance between the Men of Dale and the Dwarves of Erebor during the War of the Ring. This deck focuses on getting lots of allies out and strengthening them with the attachments that combo well with them rather than strengthening the heroes. I also added Soldier of Erebor to make it more thematic. Warrior of Dale should get Bow of Yew and Warrior Sword or however else you want to combo that. The North Realm Lookout or Descendant of Girion will have Valiant Determination to really boost of the will power and still be available later on in the round. Redwater Sentry will get Hauberk of Mail and they'll be the main defenders. Use the Sneak Attacks for Gandalf for card draw or damage to enemies and Galadhrim's Greeting will manage your threat.

Bard son of Brand will be the main questing hero so the Necklace of Girion. Also put one copy of Steward of Gondor on him for the resources for attachments.

Brand son of Bain is going to be the main hero for attacking and he'll have more attachments when compared to the other heroes. He'll get Steward of Gondor, King of Dale, and its up to you if you want to put Unexpected Courage on him or Dain.

Dain Ironfoot is going to be the main defender until the Redwater Sentry is in play. I put in Narvi's Belt to allow him to purchase any sphere and help out with getting out the allies and attachments or you can change that with a dwarven armor attachment.

Nice deck! I like the thematic element with the Lonely Mountain and Dale together. One quick suggestion is to maybe swap out Narvi's Belt for another copy of Necklace of Girion. With only a few out of sphere attachments Bard shouldn't have to much trouble paying for everything, especially with Steward of Gondor and Traffic from Dale.

I would actually put Steward of Gondor and King of Dale on Bard son of Brand, since he will be paying for the off-sphere items anyway. Some I would also consider putting in the Guardian of Esgaroth instead of the Descendant of Girion, they can be extremely powerful especially with Valiant Determination. A Ring Mail (or Armor of Erebor if you play multiplayer) would be good for Dáin Ironfoot or even some Ancestral Armor.

@Swordthatwasbroke Thanks for the feedback! I put Narvi's belt to help with early game but I probably will swap it out for something else. I wanted to have a dwarven attachment for theme so I'll probably put Armor of Erebor or Ring Mail for a defense boost.

@Alonewolf87 Thanks for the feedback! I typed in the wrong part for Bard and yes you are right about that. I used the cards that I currently have and I don't have Guardian of Esgaroth yet, but I see your point. I was unsure how well it would work due to there being limited attachments.
