Took a while, but I knew this deck would work eventually!!!

It worked, ESP. When Gimli ended up with two dwarven axes and two damage on him for a 8 attack paired with grimbeorn's attack!

Since direct damage from both Treacheries and Shadow effects is missing in Carrock, getting Gimli + 2xCitadel Plates up to 12 damage is fairly easy and safe to do. Then you just swing for 14 just by himself .

Yes, for sure! Just weren't part of my draw last night, but the axes helped instead!

Ugh! I just realized I might have played a card at the wrong time in last nights game that could have changed the overall. Might have won might have not if i had played it at the appropriate time. Sometimes this game is so frustrating!
