#RCO Dwarf all rounder deck 1.0

This is my take on a Dwarf deck using just Revised Cards Only #RCO.

Yes it is a 53 card deck, but I pretty much make all my decks 53 cards if im running Daeron's Runes

I decided to move away from the mining mechanic in the Dwarves of Durin starter deck. I started revolving the deck around taking damage to gain bonuses, where I first had Gimli and Glóin at the core of the deck, though testing how I built around them I found the deck not to work as I wanted. So, I stepped back and made more of a generalised deck, though still with a focus on boosting Gimli. Early on I take an undefended attack or defend an attack from a large enemy to get some damage on him. Then as the game moves along getting things such as Citadel Plate, Dwarven Axe or War Axe. This then will let you take care of just about enemy you come across.

The rest of the deck is built with multiple routs depending what you encounter, where I had a generalist approach in this. To help with the questing aspect i dropped Glóin and added Dáin Ironfoot instead. The other idea with the deck with like most dwarf decks, get allies in quickly to take advantage of the 5 dwarves in play abilities on a number of the characters

Its a bit difficult to outline how the deck should be used as it really depends on the situation you find yourself in, there are answers within it for most things I came across in testing. Speaking of testing, this deck had been one of the most powerful of the decks I have made to date, #RCO and decks outside this constraint. I even had my best run of Journey along the Anduin with this deck ever and I have played that quest many times. I was able to defeat the Hill Troll on turn one and then have complete control over the rest of the quest.

Just a side note, I had the intention of using the combinations of We Are Not Idle and Lure of Moria, though in practice this combo was not what I had imagined. I did read that this was a very powerful combo before We Are Not Idle was updated. Anyway, I kept these cards in as they became useful in their own right. We Are Not Idle came in handy when I found myself not using a hero or two, allowing me to gain some extra resources and draw a card (this usually occurring when I was expecting to drawn an enemy in staging but none coming out) While Lure of Moria saw me doing some very powerful finishes on some quests where I was able to quest really hard and then been in a position to face a climatic battle at the end.

Anyway I have found this to be a good generalised Dwarf deck with lots of options and I think a good deck to use in a #RCO card pool
