SAM AND FRODO by Zravik

Format: Commander

Commander: Sam, Loyal Attendant and Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Sam, Loyal Attendant and Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit lead an Abzan engine focused on Food tokens, lifegain triggers, and Ring temptation. Sam discounts Food activations and generates a token every combat, while Frodo attacks after lifegain to advance the Ring and draw cards. The deck accumulates resources through token doublers like Academy Manufactor and Peregrin Took before pivoting to lethal win conditions. Opponents are drained out through repetitive token creation and sacrifice triggers using Mirkwood Bats, Nadier's Nightblade, or the two-card Exquisite Blood and Sanguine Bond combo. Alternatively, massive creature buffs from Treebeard, Gracious Host and Motivated Pony overwhelm the table with trampling combat damage.
