A Hobbit to Turn the Tide by andisir

Format: Commander

Commander: Frodo, Sauron's Bane

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Frodo, Sauron's Bane is a white-black 'Ring tempo' voltron deck. The primary plan is to stack four Ring temptations, transform Frodo into a Rogue, suit him with evasion and protection, and kill each opponent with the alternate-loss combat trigger. Secondary paths use equipment-carried attackers such as Nazgul and Uruk-hai Berserker, plus a Blade of Selves + Mirror Box myriad kill. The commander is both accelerator and finisher: his own attack trigger adds a Ring temptation while below four, and the transformed Rogue text is the deck's main win condition. There is no hidden commander; the support legends exist to generate Ring tempts, recursion, and board presence.
