"They will be slain, and all our ponies too, and all out stores lost," moaned the others. "We can do nothing." "Nonsense!" said Thorin, recovering his dignity. "We cannot leave them. Get inside Mr Baggins and Balin, and you two Fili and Kili-the dragon shan't have all of us. Now you others, where are the ropes? Be quick!"

A very good thing too! Dreadful things had been going on down there. The wolves that had caught fire and fled into the forest had set it alight in several places. It was high summer, and on this eastern side of the mountains there had been little rain for some time. Yellowing bracken, fallen branches, deep-piled pine-needles, and here and there dead trees, were soon in flames.

"What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also liked runes and letters and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.

CW: The Hobbit PJ movies fan edit spoilers
1/2
Watching a fan edited version of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit .... retellings.(See, I can be nice.)
"The Hobbit- Ultimate Book Edit | Full Movie"
I've read the book so it's pretty easy to follow.
Unlike PJ's releases this Edit only rarely crosses the bounds into "what utter tripe" so I'm more generous to the Edit when it does. (As if Beorn would let strangers remain in his house unvetted and alive. 😬

Q: Why Were J.R.R. Tolkien’s Works So Revolutionary?
ANSWER: I think people sometimes give J.R.R. Tolkien credit for inventing things he didn’t invent. Tolkien did not invent Elves, Dwarves, dragons, magic swords, enchanted rings, heroic quests, ancient kingdoms, or supernatural enemies. Other writers had created imaginary worlds before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were published, and […]

Indeed Bilbo found he had lost more than spoons - he had lost his reputation. It is true that for ever after he remained an elf-friend, and had the honour of dwarves, wizards, and all such folk as ever passed that way; but he was no longer quite respectable. He was in fact held by all the hobbits of the neighbourhood to be 'queer'-except by his nephews and nieces on the Took side, but even they were not encouraged in their friendship by their elders.

What you should know is I'm lactose intolerant. So please keep dairy away from my feed, haha.
I like watching #SciFi ( #StarTrek, #StarGate, #DoctorWho, and others), but I also like #MurderMystery. If you don't want to be murdered, don't go to Cabot Cove ( #MurderSheWrote). Occasionally I watch some #musical.
I try to get better at Go ( #weiqi, #baduk)
For games I usually play on my #NintendoSwitch (casual gamer - #MarioKart, #AnimalCrossing, #MarioParty, main series of #Mario, #Splatoon, #WarioGames, and more) and #BoardGames (a casual fan - I genuinely enjoy playing #Cluedo and #Munchkin. I also enjoy #Fluxx, #GiveMeTheBrain, #Scrabble, #TheSettlersOfCatan, Pandemic (that hashtag would be confusing), #ExplodingKittens, #Dixit, and more)
#TheHobbit is still my favourite book, but I also like #MissMarple, #Poirot, and #SherlockHolmes. #TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy series is great. So is #Discworld by #TerryPratchett. Enjoyed #EarthSea series.

The Hobbit “Story Decks”: the next chapter.
Been spending a week bit of time on Hobbits today, jamming the Welcome Deck mode in Arena and questioning why they couldn’t port the physical versions card for card? The Black deck was 22 swamps. In a 40 card deck. That’s wild. Also super frustrating is the fact that they don’t bother to publish the lists for the store Brawl decks in the weekly updates any more. Which means screenshoting the deck page in the client, running it through an image-to-text tool, then a whole lot of cleaning up and double checking. I’ve done two, and I’ll do the other two tomorrow I think. Commander fans: worth checking out those decks (once I’ve got everything up on the wiki, obviously) for inspiration. Honestly, I have no idea why they didn’t actually release any this time – but I think I complained about that already in a previous post.
That works well enough as a segue, so let’s crack on.
So in the previous post I shared a Thorin’s company themed Dwarf list. But it was clear that you could probably build one around the Iron Hills dwarves too. So I have. That’s what’s happening in this post!
Dwarrow Detachment
1 An Unexpected Party
1 Bifur, Melodic Rider
1 Bofur, Reliable Guardian
1 Bombur, Gentle Dreamer
2 Celebrate the Mountain-king
1 Dáin Ironfoot
1 Dáin’s Company
1 Dori, Bearer of Friends
1 Dwarven Mattock
2 Dwarven Mauler
3 Dwarven Provisioner
4 Dwarven Shortsword
1 Fíli the Pathfinder
1 Glóin the Mighty
2 Improvised Club
4 Iron Hills
2 Iron Hills Blacksmith
3 Iron Hills Stalwart
10 Mountain
1 Ori, Keeper of Songs
10 Plains
1 The Lonely Mountain
1 Thorin, Mountain-king
2 Thorin’s Last Stand
3 Vow to EreborCan also be seen on Moxfield.
It’s worth stating, for posterity, that I’m going for a Starter deck vibe with my lists. Preconesque, even, to the surprise of very few. So this could be better, more consistent, all that stuff. If anyone was inspired to build anything that I post but wanted a higher power level then absolutely go for it: add more copies of the good cards that you’ve enjoyed casting and generally just mess around and make it yours. That was the whole point of theme/intro decks back in the day anyway!
The Hobbit being a small set really shows, again, I think. I didn’t originally want to reuse a lot of the Legends from the first deck. But clearly I have done so. There just weren’t enough options otherwise, not if I wanted to avoid just jamming full playsets of things in.
I actually am not sure what else to say about this. Maybe I should have smashed on with writing this the day that I actually brewed up the decks when my mind was still fresh and so I could communicate my thought processes. There were actually quite a few two drops to consider, is one thing I considered. But otherwise this should be a fairly straightfoward RW deck. Play dudes, equip dudes with equipment, attack. Repeat.
Dwarrow Delegation v2.0
1 Balin, Loremaster
1 Bifur, Melodic Rider
1 Bilbo, Unexpected Adventurer
1 Bofur, Reliable Guardian
1 Bombur, Gentle Dreamer
2 Burn, Burn, Tree and Fern
1 Dori, Bearer of Friends
1 Dwalin, Weaponmaster
2 Dwarven Mattock
1 Fíli the Pathfinder
1 Gandalf, Spark Starter
1 Giant’s Boulder
1 Glóin the Mighty
4 Hobbit Hole
1 Kíli the Resourceful
10 Mountain
1 Nori, Teller of Tales
1 Óin the Brave
1 Orcrist, Goblin-cleaver
1 Ori, Keeper of Songs
3 Pinecone Strike
10 Plains
1 Sting, Bilbo’s Sword
2 Stone by Sunlight
1 Thorin Oakenshield
1 Thrór’s Map
3 Troop of Ponies
3 Vow to Erebor
2 Well-Worn SpatulaAnd this is the RW version of the previous Dwarf build. Moxfield link here. This is probably significantly better than the WUR original I’d say. And it also indicates to me that I probably should just merge the Iron Hills and Company builds together and that combination will mostly likely be a significant improvement again. Something I’ll have a think about.
The Greenwood
2 Attercop
1 Beorn, Reluctant Host
2 Beorn’s Hospitality
1 Boughside Wanderers
1 Down in the Valley
1 Elven Passage
1 Elvish Archdruid
3 Elvish Mystic
2 Elvish Visionary
24 Forest
1 Gigantic Big Bear
2 Guardian of the Halls
1 Mirkwood Elk
3 Mirkwood Nurturer
2 Mirkwood Pathmaker
1 Old Fat Spider
1 Part in Friendship
3 Quarrel
1 Thranduil, Sindarin Liege
1 Through the Forest Gate
1 Troop of Ponies
1 Wayfarer’s Bauble
3 Wood Elves
1 Woodland WeavemasterI was hesitant to just brew up decks which were simply the two-coloured paint-by-numbers draft archetypes baked into the set. But I saw that maybe a monogreen deck could work. This was before the Welcome Deck Duel mode came to Arena, and I now realise that what I’ve put together could just be seen as an upgraded version of that one. But hey: lots of forests and elves… surely nobody in the last 30 years of the game’s existence has thought about making a deck like that, hey?
Again: small set. The Elf-matters stuff came later, it wasn’t the original plan. My original thought was just to go full in on the land-search type ramp in order to make the Mirkwood Pathfinders huge. Through the Forest Gate being the thing which sold that idea to me. But there’s now a bit of landfall stuff, some fatties at the top of the curve, as well as a touch of that Elf Typal as mentioned. I’m actually fairly happy with it, and it’s got a fairly decent flavour of when the company were hanging around between the Misty Mountains and Mirkwood to it. At one point I also had a couple of Warg-ish type cards in the deck too, but I decided to cut those for story reasons.
And so. Three lists to consider, hopefully that makes up for me not really being able to elaborate as much about how I went about designing these as I think I managed in the first post. But certainly I welcome feed back and thoughts. I’m still not quite ready to commit to physically assembling these, or in fact to adding more decks to this series. I’m curious about the Battle of Five Armies co-op box set apparently coming next year and I’m prepared to wait until we know more about what those decks look like before I go ahead and add customs to my collection. Of course, things change, and I’m actually wondering about the possibility of “De-Commanderising” some of the Arena Brawl decks. In fact, there’s a very good chance that’ll be the next post: I’m feeling a bit of inspiration in that direction.
Cheers,
Beats.
PS: watch this. Good stuff.

Q: When Does A Tolkien Question Stop Being About Tolkien?
ANSWER: Through the years I receive occasional thoughtful opinions or responses to recent posts on this blog, where long-time readers feel I may have strayed beyond their expectations or – in some cases – comfort zones. Those two areas are not the same (in my eyes). There may be other, unseen boundaries I occasionally cross. Years ago, […]

It was my birthday the other day. Main present from my husband was a Sylvester McCoy as Radagast sculpt from Weta in New Zealand. I love how full of character it is! I did not enjoy the Hobbit trilogy of movies, though loved Lord of the Rings.
