Sam and Frodo

Format: Commander

Commander: Sam, Loyal Attendant and Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Sam, Loyal Attendant and Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit form a Food-and-life tempo shell in Abzan. Sam creates and discounts Food, while Frodo turns life gain into Ring tempts and card draw. The deck's primary plan is to build a Food stockpile, convert it into large tramplers (Feasting Hobbit, Banquet Guests) or a wide army (Merry, Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit), then overrun with Pippin, Warden of Isengard's haste pump. Secondary lines drain the table through Sanguine Bond and Gollum, Obsessed Stalker after mass life gain, or cheat out creatures with Bilbo at 111 life. It is a midrange, value-led build.
