We Must Away Ere Break of Day Saga

Description
Mostly-thematic decks built for the first quest in the Over Hill and Under Hill Saga. The main strategies are:
- mulligan if needed for Forest Snare, to use against Tom once Bert is dead
- get 5 dwarves out asap for deck 1 for the extra resource and card bonuses
- use The Galadhrim's Greeting and Gandalf to keep threat down
I mostly avoided 1hp Allies due to Roast 'Em, although Hardy Leadership can help. Use Cram and Fast Hitch on Bilbo so he can unsack. Crank out the dwarf armies, Snare the Trolls, then burn through the encounter deck.
I beat the quest on the first attempt, including finding the treasures. I got very lucky when the key showed up in round 2. Gimli + a couple Gandalfs took care of Bert, then a Snare took care of Tom. I had to chump block William one round, then quested out ftw.
