Middle earth (Pretty Much B3) by Calvin

Format: Commander

Commander: Frodo, Sauron's Bane

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Frodo, Sauron's Bane is a one-shot voltron deck built around one hidden-resource count: getting the Ring to tempt you four or more times. The commander transforms from Citizen to Scout to Rogue; if the Rogue connects, an opponent loses. Call of the Ring and a suite of temporary ring-tempt creatures build the counter, while Bilbo's Ring and My Precious make Frodo unblockable and hexproof. Backup lines are equipment beatdown, Nazgul wraiths, and a Faramir token army, but these are fallbacks rather than independent win conditions. There is no hidden second commander; Frodo is the sole finisher, so the deck mulligans around a Ring-tempt engine and an evasion piece.
