LotR 110 - Shadow and Flame (1)

The last quest in Dwarrowdelf, and it’s a monster. Just looking at the Durin’s Bane abilities, really hard to see how I can beat it. I’m sure it’s possible, maybe really hard with progress deck that I’m playing. Not sure it’s possible with my Deeds of Dwarves deck, probably going to have to do some deckbuilding. But let’s give it a try.

Initial hand:

1. Parting Gifts
2. Unexpected Courage
3. Gandalf
4. Narvi’s Belt
5. Longbeard Map-Maker
6. Untroubled by Darkness

Initial encounter: Goblin Scout

5. Encounter: Goblin Scout.
