Cedh Frodo + Sam by cmcnaughtan

Format: Commander

Commander: Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit and Sam, Loyal Attendant

Bracket: 5

Deck overview

This is an Abzan Food/aristocrats combo deck that uses the Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit and Sam, Loyal Attendant command pair as value engines rather than as the kill. The actual win condition is buried in the 99: Witherbloom Apprentice plus Chain of Smog drains the table, Protean Hulk death piles assemble Food-based sacrifice loops, and Cauldron Familiar plus Samwise Gamgee plus a free sacrifice outlet loops indefinitely. The deck is extremely low to the ground (2.01 average MV) and runs a dense fast-mana and tutor package to turn those two-card and death-trigger lines into turn-3/4 kills. Food generation from Sam, Peregrin Took, The Cabbage Merchant, and Academy Manufactor doubles as mana, life, and combo fuel, while Kambal, Profiteering Mayor and Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim provide passive drain in the background.
