Again, as my Balrog One Ring vs. hero/fallen deck, this one is designed to be played in 1 deck format with the change that you need 25 MP’s to call the council

Doeth starts at Moria, the other team at the Under-gates. Doeath runs up and down Moria<->Under-gates and picks up Stinker sometime. The other team (joined by Hill-trolls and/or Crook-legged Orcs from Sideboard and The Balrog of course) visits The Pukel-deeps, The Gem-deeps and The Under-grottos (preferable in that order) and plays gold rings, auto-tests in the presence of Balrog to play Rings of Enigma from Whispers. Be sure to leave (or remember to recycle with Great Shadow) A Little Gold Rings for  testing for the One Ring.

Ideally you should have 1 A Little Gold Ring played in your company the turn before you go to The Under-grottos to play 2 more A Little Gold Rings, so this means the turn before moving to the Grottos your ring-playing company needs to be already without the Balrog (or your ring will auto-test) which means you have to split off Balrog (preferably with 2 Enigma sages and on Crack in the Wall) 2 turns before going to the Grottos.
Another tricky part is how to not waste a whole turn after (hopefully) playing The One Ring to move back to Balrog so in yet another turn you can play Challenge the Power… you achieve that with Iron-road (in this deck a.k.a. «Subway» :P)
On the turn you move your main company to the Grottos also move someone [preferably Doeth+Stinker on Crack (in the Wall)] on Iron-road from Under-gates (where you’re supposed to have sitting Balrog with Enigma sages by now) to the Grottos – your 2 companies join in the site phase, you play A Little Gold Ring(s), test with Test of Fire, play The One Ring [or if failed back-up Dwarven Ring(s) from Whispers] and at the end-of-turn phase ride the Subway back to Balrog… next org. phase play Challenge the Power and win the game 🙂
If all fails and you find yourself in need of extra MP’s – that’s why I’ve put Great Lord of Goblin-gate, Orcs of Gundabad, Orcs of Moria and Ancient Black Axe in the sideboard

Hazards are self explanatory – Khamul Machine… it’s a weak hazard strategy, I didn’t have time to make something better for the tournament (and besides failing 3 tests for the One at 10+, that’s probably why I’ve lost my game vs. minion at the tournament as my hazards didn’t do squat to my opponent :() so if you wanna use this deck – make a better anti-minion hazard strategy
