Frodo & Sam | Food, Friendship & The Ring! by maggina

Format: Commander

Commander: Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit and Sam, Loyal Attendant

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Abzan Food deck uses Sam and Frodo to generate Food, gain life, and tempt the Ring while assembling a lifegain-to-drain engine. Sam discounts Food activations and creates a Food each combat, Frodo draws cards once you gain 3 life and hold the Ring. The primary win is an infinite loop between a Sanguine effect (Sanguine Bond, Vito, Enduring Tenacity) and an Exquisite effect (Exquisite Blood, Bloodthirsty Conqueror) triggered by any lifegain. Secondary wins come from incremental drains via Mirkwood Bats, Gollum, and Midnight Snack, or a wide board pumped by Pippin. Peregrin Took plus Nuka-Cola Vending Machine creates extra Food/Treasure value that fuels the engine.
