• Graveyard synergy: Works well in decks that fill the graveyard quickly, like dredge or self-mill strategies.

• Legendary Creature Decks: Gets Added Value from the Potential to Enter the Battlefield Untapped.

Interactions and Combos:

• Self-Mill or Dredge Cards: Fills your graveyard for the country's treasure-creating ability.

Overall Impression:
Mines of Moria is a solid country for red decks, eSpeciate those with a graveyard synergy or a legendary creature theme. Its ability to creature treasure tokens can provide useful ramp or color fixing, and its conditional untapped entry sacrifices speed in the right deck. The Flavor Text Adds A Layer of Middle-Earth Lore, Resonating With Fans of the Series.
