Sneaky Frodo in the pocket by HimmyNeutron

Format: Commander

Commander: Frodo, Sauron's Bane

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Orzhov list is a focused voltron deck built around Frodo, Sauron's Bane. The commander is the entire kill condition: first pump him to Scout, then pay BBB to make him a Rogue whose combat damage instantly removes a player once the Ring has tempted you four times. The secondary path is value/removal: Call of the Ring, Gollum triggers, and fetchlands keep the hand full while interaction clears blockers. Bilbo's Ring, Whispersilk Cloak, and Rogue's Passage make Frodo unblockable, and protection spells shield him. There is no true hidden commander; Zenos yae Galvus // Shinryu offers a niche alternative win if transformed, but the deck is built to ride Frodo.
