Welcome to the city of Dale! This is a go wide token generator deck that leverages the recruit mechanic to put low cmc or power cards in the graveyard to later bring back out while you generate card advantage. You filter out extra lands when needed or cards not at your current tempo to bring back later. Flyers provide another avenue of evasion and through things like Jackdaw savior an amount of recursion, with some of our higher CMC slots filled by chunky or synergistic fliers that if lost bring back other value engines. We use all this to generate a massive board and card advantage while using things like ghostly prison, the new Dain, and similar effects to slow down those trying to stop us. Interaction provided is to protect your own board state and make sure our big value plays resolve. The vibe, to me fit the vibe! You start fairly small and build up from the small fishing hamlet of dale to a massive bustling city complete with walls and soldiers. Even sporting 3 different bards to show the stages he goes through from simple bowman of Dale, to soon to be hero, to king of the bustling city. that being said the alt commander is very much a riskier play, at 6 CMC its something you want to save for an ideal loop of combo draw and token generation. Make sure you have ramp early in hand and protection ready to go because a 6 mana do nothing turn is devastating. While not from the hobbit a fitting thematic alt commander would also be Prince Imrahil the fair. At two mana hes safe fast and quick to get going with the many draw engines we have going. Hope you like my deck! The hamlet of Dale shall rise from the obscure lake town to bustling city!
