Mulligan for a Dwarf Pipe. Then, grab a second pipe using (MotK) Bilbo Baggins so you can start the game with 2 in hand. Finally, grab your third whenever you can with Gather Information or Word of Command. That's actually Radagast's main purpose in the deck.

With the ability to cycle 3 cards back into your deck each round, the quest loses most of its edge. You can bide your time and build up a big army of Dwarf allies, who together with Dáin Ironfoot will overwhelm the encounter deck.

Finally, use Put Off Pursuit to get rid of the Torech Gorgor Patrol.

fili/kili seems bit risky for me, and imo not necessary, there are some cost 2 green or blue dwarfes.

e.g. Ered Nimrais Prospector or is the discard to much? (u get 1 shuffled back)

why no Smoke and Think ? makes a gandalf or a cost 3 dwarf cheap.

@doomguard The deck is already pretty heavy into lore/spirit. I think Fili is better for the cost curve.

Smoke and Think is good once you have a couple pipes out, but if you do you've already won this quest.

Interesting deck! I just finished playing this quest, and was using a deck focused on all of the spirit recursion cards. My take away after playing it about 7 times was the quest is almost unbeatable unless you heavily tailor your deck to recycling cards back into it (or if you just get really lucky with the encounter deck’s draw. Dwarf Pipe, Galadhrim Weaver, and Scroll of Isildur were all key cards for me.
