Sometimes the end goal is to get the Free Peoples player down to 3 or fewer cards in hand and play {{Card|Wild Men of the Hills}} (especially with {{Card|War Cry of Dunland}}) in order to overwhelm companions. Other times, {{Card|Leaping Blaze}} gives great hand extension and, combined with the cheap minions, puts large swarms on the table. | ||

And who knows, maybe we'll sneak in a card or two next year when we can, much like we've done for Moria this past year. Until next time, here's to winning skirmishes. | While I'm sad to see the Dunland culture take a break during King block, I have no doubt they will return one day with a vengeance in a future block.
