This is clearly a design for some sort of spells-based deck, which none of The Hobbit's archetypes are really set up to do. Still, Most Decrepit Old Bird is a solid 1-drop that gets a bit bigger later in the game. Even if it doesn't line up with any of the set's archetypes, that's still good on its own, and when you draw it late, the Speak Secrets adventure helps to enable the threshold ability a little faster.
