I Lived a Marvelous Life! by mjv663

Format: Commander

Commander: Bilbo, Birthday Celebrant

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Abzan life-gain deck is built almost entirely around Bilbo, Birthday Celebrant's ceiling: reach 111 life, exile him, and dump the entire creature suite into play. The primary win is a single massive swing with Concordant Crossroads and Craterhoof Behemoth. A strong secondary path uses Aetherflux Reservoir and Bloodthirsty Conqueror to shoot each opponent after crossing 51 life, and a Nuka-Cola/Peregrin Took engine can generate large amounts of Food and Treasure. The commander acts as a repeatable tutor once the life threshold is met, but the deck does not need him for every line.
