Where this card gets a little more interesting is when it interacts with the rest of the {{C|Dwarven}} [[stack]]ing cards. Here Is Good Rock the cheapest, easiest way to stack {{Card|Toss Me}} so that it gives an ongoing [[strength]] increase to any version of [[Gimli]]. The cards you have stacked here can also be discarded as fuel for {{Card|Axe of Erebor}}. You can even do this in the middle of a skirmish, somewhat unexpectedly buffing Gimli's strength. {{Card|Gimli, Feared Axeman}} is the natural choice to get the most out of these Gimli-boosting shenanigans, since he helps protect them from [[Condition Removal|removal]]. | Where this card gets a little more interesting is when it interacts with the rest of the {{C|Dwarven}} [[stack]]ing cards.

In [[Towers Block]], HIGR mainly competes with {{Card|From the Armory}}, which is has a powerful effect but is more expensive, and | In [[Towers Block]], HIGR mainly competes with {{Card|From the Armory}}, which is has a powerful effect but is more expensive, and stacking cards that only stack one card at a time ({{Card|Courtesy of My Hall}}) or stack random cards that you don't get to choose ({{Card|Ever My Heart Rises}}, {{Card|More to My Liking}}, {{Card|Come Here Lad}}). Things get a little more complicated when you add [[King Block]] cards to the mix. Stacking cards becomes more valuable, with the addition of {{Card|Battle Tested}}, one of the strongest {{C|Dwarven}} [[Pump|pump]] [[event]]s in the game, {{Card|Slaked Thirsts}}, a powerful [[direct wounding]] tool that needs to be stacked to be used, and {{Card|Sindri, Dwarven Lord}} can play cards like Battle Tested from stacked. However, it finds itself competing with {{Card|Preparations}}, which is a bit more expensive but can constantly [[Recursion|recycle]] cards like Battle Tested or Slaked Thirsts from discard, and {{Card|Loyalty Unshaken}}, which is not reusable but offers much stronger cycling and a much stronger skirmish effect. Plus, if all you want is the cycling and the [[Damage|damage +1]], the popular {{Card|Linnar, Dwarven Lord}} can do that for you while also serving as a very efficient [[companion]] in general. On top of this, From the Armory is more relevant in later formats, because it can deflect many [[threat]] wounds at once as well as stymieing [[Ninja Gollum]]. As a result, Here Is Good Rock is relatively rarely played after [[Towers Block]] and [[Towers Standard]]. | ||
Here Is Good Rock technically can also be used with the cards that move stacked cards into other states, like {{Card|Dwarven Foresight}} to put a card in your hand, or {{Card|Rest By Blind Night}} or {{Card|Restless Axe}} to shuffle them into your deck. This is rarely useful with HIGR, though. Dwarven Foresight is only handy if the Free Peoples card was one you wanted to store for later use, and the Rest cards are mainly used to shuffle Shadow cards into your deck to set up a late-game Shadow effort. It would be possible to use Here Is Good Rock to set up some extreme combo deck, by stacking key cards on it, discarding your entire deck (possibly with {{Card|Ever My Heart Rises}} or {{Card|Realm of Dwarrowdelf}}), then using one of the two Rest cards to shuffle the cards stacked on HIGR into your deck, but such a deck would be very gimmicky. | Here Is Good Rock technically can also be used with the cards that move stacked cards into other states, like {{Card|Dwarven Foresight}} to put a card in your hand, or {{Card|Rest By Blind Night}} or {{Card|Restless Axe}} to shuffle them into your deck.
