A tom Tale by Seven

Deck overview

This deck is a five-color Saga enchantress engine led by Tom Bombadil. It focuses on chaining high-impact Sagas, manipulating lore counters, and flooding the board with resilient threats. Early turns are dedicated to fixing mana across all five colors using green land ramp, mana creatures, and Gates. Once Tom Bombadil enters the battlefield, resolving the final chapter of any Saga triggers a cascade into another Saga directly from the library. The deck amplifies this value loop using lore accelerators like Barbara Wright and Satsuki, the Living Lore, while win conditions like Sigil of the Empty Throne, Historian's Boon, Bello, Bard of the Brambles, and Narci, Fable Singer turn enchantment triggers into game-ending combat and life-drain pressure. While vulnerable to mass enchantment removal, Tom Bombadil's built-in protection and heavy recursion make the deck a persistent, compounding midrange threat.
