Deck overview

This Abzan (Green/White/Black) deck is a Food-token and lifegain value engine helmed by the partner pair Sam, Loyal Attendant and Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit. Sam generates a Food every combat and discounts cracking them to a single mana, while Frodo pressures with vigilance and converts early lifegain into ring-temptation card draw. The core loop is to produce a flood of Food tokens - via Rosie Cotton of South Lane, Samwise Gamgee, Tireless Provisioner, Farmer Cotton, and many more - then convert that life into cards, counters, and drains. The primary win paths are the lifegain-punisher pair Sanguine Bond and Mirkwood Bats, the end-step drain of Gollum, Obsessed Stalker, and enormous beaters like Feasting Hobbit and Banquet Guests. A greedy backup is Bilbo, Birthday Celebrant's 111-life activation, which dumps the entire creature base onto the battlefield.
