Premise
This is my take on a thematic Dwarf deck. Of course, the whole thing would be a lot more powerful with resource generation like Steward of Gondor or Legacy of Númenor in the mix, however I decided to exclude those cards here for obvious thematic reasons. The deck still plays like a classic Dwarf deck of course - get allies on the table and use Dáin Ironfoot afterwards to boost them. Nori and Ori are really decent questers with Dáin as well as good tools to handle threat and drawing respectively.
How To Play
I mostly look for a hand that enables a quick swarm. Cards like Fili/Kili (in combination with We Are Not Idle), Tighten Our Belts or A Very Good Tale with suitable allies are cards I like to see a lot in my opening hand. From there on, the deck is extremely simple - draw, play and boost according to your needs.
Considerations
Bifur I often slot in for Ori in higher player counts since his resource gaining ability can be really benefitial to you, especially in the first rounds. All the other cards are of a similar nature - they do not make the cut in solo, but should definitely be played in higher player counts.
Enjoy!!!
