Frodo by Ravenclawed07

Format: Commander

Commander: Frodo, Sauron's Bane

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Orzhov list is a lean, commander-centric kill deck built around Frodo, Sauron's Bane. The core plan is to stack four Ring-tempt triggers, give Frodo hexproof and unblockable, then transform him from Citizen to Scout to Rogue so each combat hit eliminates one player. Ring-tempt support is dense: Call of the Ring, nine Nazgul, Claim the Precious, Inherited Envelope, Sam's Desperate Rescue, and Slip On the Ring. Cheap tutors and Smothering Tithe accelerate the setup, while Bolas's Citadel and Necropotence provide card advantage. There is no hidden commander and no independent backup win; the deck is fast and redundant at finding its pieces but entirely dependent on keeping Frodo alive to finish all three opponents.
