Build your forces and amass reasources to protect your land and defend Laketown. Note for some cards i would assume you would reprint them as something from the Movie like Shorikai represents the guard Tower & Chameleon being one of the antagonists, and barrow blade made for a better equipment than the black arrow since one Smaug is indestructible. I tried to find as much flavor as i could. And ya there are 3 mana rocks and a land tax since the face commander is CMC 6. I tried to keep all other cards low cost so you can play stuff. And wanted this to focus on the recruit mechanic. I thought maybe a few grave synergies would be ideal but to keep this Pre con level i added the classic stuff and left plenty of ways to upgrade the deck. Not sure how this got to nearly $200. Might be some expensive variants and overpriced hobbit cards inflating that.
