Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a midrange Abzan Food-token aristocrats and lifegain deck helmed by the partner pair Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit and Sam, Loyal Attendant. Sam reliably produces Food each combat and discounts Food activations, while Frodo leverages that life gain to become the Ring-bearer, draw cards, and pressure via combat. The 99 doubles down on token multipliers (Parallel Lives, Anointed Procession, Academy Manufactor, Chatterfang, Squirrel General, Peregrin Took), lifegain payoffs, and drain engines (Mirkwood Bats, Nadier's Nightblade, Blood Artist, Sanguine Bond). Primary wins come from draining the table through token creation/sacrifice loops or assembling infinite mana/token lines with Ashnod's Altar and Pitiless Plunderer, backed by go-wide combat pumps and the alternate Revel in Riches treasure win. The deck plays as a grindy value engine that converts Foods into bodies, mana, cards, and life-loss triggers.
