Deck overview

This is a five-color Saga-chains deck built around Tom Bombadil. The primary plan is to deploy Sagas, accelerate their lore counters, and let final chapters generate value while Tom chains additional Sagas directly from the top of the library. The deck then converts that Saga value into a combat kill through transforming back faces like O-Kagachi Made Manifest and Summon: Titan, or into the alternate Maze's End win by assembling ten differently named Gates. There are no infinite combos; the threat is relentless value, incremental card advantage, and a few one-shot haymakers such as Summon: Primal Odin. A key subtheme is the 10-Gate package, supported by Spelunking and Gond Gate, meaning the deck can win without ever attacking. Tom Bombadil's hexproof/indestructible threshold is important, so support pieces that add or remove lore counters are essential to the engine.
