Deck overview

This deck is a five-color midrange Enchantress strategy built entirely around Sagas and counter manipulation, piloted by Tom Bombadil. The deck operates by developing its mana base in the first two turns, deploying enchantress card-draw engines like Sythis, Harvest's Hand and Setessan Champion, and then casting Tom Bombadil. Once the commander and supporting pieces like Barbara Wright, Satsuki, the Living Lore, and Atraxa, Praetors' Voice are on the battlefield, the deck rapidly ticks lore counters up or down, triggering chapter abilities ahead of schedule. Whenever a Saga finishes its story, Tom Bombadil automatically reveals and puts another Saga onto the battlefield, creating a self-replenishing value engine. The deck protects itself behind Sphere of Safety and Sterling Grove, then closes out the game through overwhelming token armies from Kiora Bests the Sea God and Summon: Knights of Round, burn from Summon: Bahamut, or mass enchantment animation via Dance of the Manse.
