Man, if you're interested, I would just buy someone's cheap ass players copy of a bunch of random shit, these things often lose value fast. There have got to be tons of those floating around. I'm thinking of waiting to do that with the Arkham coop LCG in a year or two...
I bet you could go on a BGG math trade and give like a 30 dollar CSI gift certificate for 150 MSRP of product. But that's totally speculation.

I remember the Hobbit saga to be hard as fuck. And we are mostly up to date with cards. Additionally, certain scenarios will break your decks forcing you to rebuild because the number of card types AND costs have to be narrowed for sub-mechanics.Of course this is coming from casuals who don't netdeck or spend sleepless nights thinking of builds. But yeah, it was hard and we had a shitload of dwarf synergy.
Haven't played the main story one yet. Maybe stick to the first two cycles as the challenge ramps up after that.
