Overview:
A Food-focused aristocrats deck led by Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit and Sam, Loyal Attendant, combining lifegain triggers with token generation and sacrifice synergies to create a value-oriented midrange strategy.
Primer:
The deck operates on multiple synergistic layers, with Sam, Loyal Attendant providing a consistent stream of Food tokens while reducing their activation costs. These tokens serve multiple purposes: gaining life to trigger Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit's card draw, feeding sacrifice outlets, and generating value through cards like Academy Manufactor and Trail of Crumbs. The deck can pivot between aggressive combat with buffed creatures and a more controlling aristocrats strategy.
The secondary gameplan involves using powerful token doublers like Doubling Season and Parallel Lives to amplify Food production, while cards like Nadier's Nightblade and Cauldron Familiar provide incremental damage through sacrifice outlets. The deck can grind out long games through consistent value generation or assemble various soft combos for more explosive turns.
Weaknesses:
The deck relies heavily on having its commanders in play to maintain consistent Food generation and value engines. Graveyard hate can disrupt some of the recursive elements, while artifact removal can severely hamper the Food-based strategy. The mana base could be more robust, potentially leading to color-fixing issues in crucial early turns.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 5/10
- Resilience: 7/10
- Consistency: 6/10
- Interaction: 6/10
Rating Justification:
This deck sits firmly in the optimized casual range, with enough tutors and efficient interaction to compete at focused tables but lacking the explosive speed of higher-powered decks. While it includes powerful cards like The Great Henge and Doubling Season, its primary gameplan typically takes several turns to develop. The deck's ability to grind out value and maintain board presence through Food tokens makes it stronger than typical casual decks, but it's not fast enough to compete with highly optimized strategies.
Final power level rating: 5.5 - 6.0
