Strategy
A nice anti-[moria] card for any dwarf deck, a couple of copies of Stairs of Khazad-Dum will allow you to heavily punish an opponent playing goblins, particularly as they are not that strong to begin with, but it can also help you to beat the Cave Troll of Moria, SotBP with a fully equipped dwarf. This card might seem to hate too much on one culture to be useful at first glance, but bear in mind it is a free tale with no exert cost, so it has easy synergy with Gloin, FtT and Mines of Khazad Dum (and with Bilbo Well-spoken Gentlehobbit, an usual condition control method used by Dwarves). It is also effective against the Balrog, making it much harder for him to overwhelm your dwarves.
