Epic meal time by Thylorekeeper

Deck overview

Samwise Gamgee leads a GW Food and token value deck that turns every nontoken creature into Food, then uses Food for life, mana with Ninja Pizza and Gilded Goose, and historic recursion. Token doublers Mondrak, Peregrin Took and Academy Manufactor multiply Foods, Halflings and Gnomes, while Gandalf the White doubles triggers. Draw engines like Guardian Project, Beast Whisperer and The Great Henge keep your hand full, and Well of Lost Dreams converts life gain into cards. Wins come from going wide with anthems and counters, draining with Bontu's Monument, pinging with Psychosis Crawler, milling with Altar of the Brood, or life payoffs Aetherflux Reservoir and Felidar Sovereign. Samwise is the grind engine, not a combo piece.
