Turgon 730

This is another relatively straightforward deck revolving around the 5-Dwarf synergy released in the Hobbit Saga expansions (using only cards from the Core set and Saga expansions).

Piloting advice: mulligan for Steward of Gondor or King Under the Mountain. It's also great to see Fili or Kili early on, as getting to 5 dwarves quickly is a major priority in this deck. Put Steward of Gondor on Nori and distribute the readying attachments as needed (Cram primarily goes on Gimli from the companion deck).

Try to always save resources for cancellation in the form of Balin's ability, A Test of Will, and Hasty Stroke. Valiant Sacrifice can shore up your card draw a bit, and you should have no trouble generating resources once you have 5 dwarves ruling Gondor together. Glóin is often used to help out the Gimli deck's resource generation.

Use Sneak Attack / Gandalf liberally to keep your threat low, then get Gandalf in play and keep him for as long as possible. Galadriel is really helpful as an early-game play to get King Under the Mountain and Steward of Gondor into play for free.

This is the questing ally swarm deck off the fellowship, so keep in mind that it will probably not survive on its own. However, paired with its sister deck for extra attack power and card draw, it can beat a fair amount of moderately difficult quests with ease.

Any suggestions for adding in more useful allies, Dwarves, or card draw using only cards from Core sets and Saga expansions would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Swapped one Valiant Sacrifice for one The Galadhrim's Greeting.

If you were looking to go beyond the Saga expansions for just one card, Fellowship could be an interesting approach. Would have to drop the Northern Tracker but if you did get to 9 it'd be a handy boost. Fellowship looks great BTW.

Huh, that's a really great idea. Maybe I can find something to replace Northern Tracker - I had no idea I only had unique characters in there! I would need to add in a few more allies as Galadriel and Gandalf are both one-rounders.
