Tolkien Dez Nutz 2.0 by Plutoreborn

Format: Commander

Commander: Bard, King of Dale

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Azorius token-swarm deck is helmed by Bard, King of Dale, whose doubling of both card draws and token creation turns every draw trigger and token generator into exponential value. The primary plan is to cast Bard, layer token doublers like Anointed Procession, Mondrak, Glory Dominus, and Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation, then bury opponents under a massive army - finishing with a Moonshaker Cavalry or Intangible Virtue-boosted swing, or the alternate win of Halo Fountain. Secondary lines include Idol of Oblivion's 10/10 Eldrazi and a huge Finale of Glory. The deck is a value engine first: Bard doubles the draw from Mentor of the Meek, Welcoming Vampire, and Skullclamp, while draw-trigger token makers like Prince Imrahil the Fair and Mischievous Mystic convert cards into bodies. Protection comes from Voice of Victory and Myrel, Shield of Argive locking out opponent interaction on the winning turn.
