Frodo, Sauron's Bane

Frodo, Sauron's Bane Commander Deck

The deck's entire gameplan revolves around transforming Frodo, Sauron's Bane through its three class stages — from Citizen to Scout to Rogue — and then dealing combat damage to a player who has been tempted by the Ring four or more times to make them lose the game instantly. A suite of protection spells, hexproof equipment, and indestructibility effects keep Frodo alive and swinging, while cards like Call of the Ring and The One Ring accelerate Ring temptation to reach the lethal threshold as quickly as possible. Board wipes that spare small or low-power creatures, alongside taxing effects that discourage attacks, buy time to set up the one-shot commander damage win.
