I ran a deck like this for a while, too, with Thorin, Ori and Bombur. It's fast, versatile, and full of dwarves! Just one dwarf ally and you've got double resources and card draw at the same time. And sneak-attack Longbeard Orcslayer is lots of orc-slashing fun. I found it wrecks many a quest.
Your Best Deck
My favorite deck is my Songs Deck. It needs a little help getting started sometimes, but it can be a real powerhouse as well as a thematic blast!
I made a video session of this deck vs. Road to Rivendell:
