Purple Dwarf Trio 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

A mono Leadership deck that uses the three dwarf heroes.

A rundown of the cards and why they are included is as follows:

• A Light From Within & Strength of Arms: these are very strong cards that are basically auto-includes for any mono Leadership deck.
• Against the Shadow: Just a very strong overall card that you'll find in most decks that play Expert difficulty.
• Reinforcements & Raise the Shire: Notice that the deck does not play any 1-cost or 2-cost allies. This is to ensure that Reinforcements is consistently strong. Raise the Shire is a nice pseudo-1-cost ally that helps address willpower-related tasks.
• Gondorian Shield & Cram: These help keep Dwalin's health up as he loses stats if his health falls to 5 or less.
• Armor of Erebor: Just a very helpful attachment that helps protect your allies. It is usually played on Dis first and then Dain. You usually should not play it on Dwalin.
• Sword of Numenor: Generally played on Dwalin and then Dain. Sometimes played on Dis if she has the Armor of Erebor on and is able to kill two enemies per turn.
• Hammer of Dis: Can only be played on Dis but has an interesting affect. Not usually relied on but it's nice to draw it.
• Dwarven Warrior: You generally don't want this card in your opening hand and usually want to play it when it "costs 0" for some tempo. If you pull it from Reinforcements and have no other allies, it still cost you 0 resources!
• Adventuring Hobbit & Northern Survivor: For helping with willpower-related obstacles and charging the fate meter.
• Erkenbrand: Just a very strong card that you'll find in almost any deck with a Leadership hero. Helps protect Dwalin and your other allies.
• Gandalf & Narya: The Gandalf package. You'll find this in a lot of decks as Gandalf is a great Swiss army knife for a variety of problems.

Note that this is not really a dwarf tribal deck as the only dwarf ally that is used is Dwarven Warrior. In fact, this deck's overall strategy and playstyle can be adapted to other heroes (the only cards that necessarily have to do with the dwarves are Hammer of Dis and the aforementioned Dwarven Warriors. For example, if you were building a deck with Sam and two other Leadership heroes you could swap in Bill the Pony for the Dwarven Warriors and Hammer of Dis for some other good card (The Sword that was Broken?) and the deck would more or less play the same).
