Hazards
2 Outposts
1 Agburanar
1 Agburanar Ahunt
1 Agburanar at Home
1 Bairanax
1 Daelomin
1 Daelomin at Home
3 Doors of Night
3 Dragon's Desolation
1 Eärcaraxë
1 Hoarmûrath of Dír
1 Itangast
1 Leucaruth
1 Mouth of Sauron
3 Nature's Revenge
3 Parsimony of Seclusion
1 Scatha
1 Scorba
1 Smaug
3 Summons from Long Sleep
1 Ûvatha the Horseman

Sideboard
1 An Unexpected Outpost
2 Beorning Skin-changers
2 Lost in Free-domains
2 Muster Disperses
2 Nameless Thing
1 Ren the Unclean
2 River
3 Searching Eye
1 The Balance of Things
2 The Way is Shut
2 Snowstorm
3 Withered Lands

Play tips:
- Discard any manifestation of Agburanar to get full use of Parsimony.
- Put some Twilights on the Resources portion to protect DoN and Withered Lands.
- sb Withered Lands asap.
- I accept suggestions for a compatible resource portion. Probably wandering dwarves will make the deck quite thematic, i think...

These ideas was taken from this forum, think from Bandobras. I only put them in a deck, didn't try to steal copyright  :)

I would drop the Summons for Prowess of Age, since Summons gets Marveled and the dragons get canceled otherwise

the deck has 2@home + 1 ahunt + 2 Nazgul + 3 Summons. Too much work for only 3 marvels, I think. So, the other player has to choose what to marvel; all the cards are dangerous for him. And also, the Summons help to speed my hand playing dragons to the table without affecting my hl.
If eventually a Summons get marveled having a dragon, I would try to play it anyway (before the marvels apply) using the desolation + nature's revenge.

But if you did, then you would be cheating.  Creatures must start a chain of effects, so you cannot declare that the dragon is attacking in response to MT.

you have to read a short story, named 'babel's library', from jorge luis borges. in that library you may find any book, written or not. a kind of infinite deposit of every knowledge conceivable.
maybe we may build such a library for the innumerable rules we have...

(of course, this is only a funny reply to mark's post; i didn't knew about such rule, as use to happen to me...)

I love Borges

excellent! would you agree with me, then, that a paradigmatic babel's library is no other than our own alphabet...? finite, small, easy to count... and you may build any imaginable book with it...
El Universo (que otros llaman la Biblioteca)...

promess this is my last 'not-meccg' post!

Not only that, you can even build it twice, as you just proved by posting the same message twice

.

Mod note: deleted 2nd of the double-post.

indeed...
also, i may build it infinite. or finite, and interesting (as borges did). could I?
but i have no expectations: no finite, infinite, general or compressed version I may imagine would ever aspire to compare with those borgian halls...
a recomendation? try read it listening the first track of 'spleen and ideal' by dead can dance. and if you can read both in the time of the track, add after the library the small tale called 'the immortal', first of the book 'the aleph'. after that, tell me if your imagination could resist the weight of that some call 'infinite'...
and imagine it duplicated! my god!!!  :lol:

(ps: i didn't send it twice. could be a server error?)
