Cookin' with Leftovers / TCC 'The Hobbit' Precon Contest!
deck Tom, Bert, and William
Aug 14, 2026
Good luck everyone! (sorry for wall of text it looks like can't format this) Hope TCC and community enjoys this brew! This was so much fun and I think I'll be building a non-budget version myself. Was a nice challenge to stay "Precon" budget though! Quick deck tech below: I think the mass draw and more importantly, the discarding from Tom, Bert, and William (TBW) is where I decided to go. The idea of "Cookin' with leftovers" stemming from using the "discarded" remains (cards) to great effect! We've got high stat undercosted creatures like Titania, Mardu Outrider, and Daemogoth to apply board pressure but can cash in for massive draw with TBW as well as include helpful mechanics towards our game plan. Bone Miser's a key card in the deck to maximize discarding. The deck has enough recursion to keep things going and when you're cooking hobbits you need a cauldron! Cauldron of Souls is another build around card too for the deck. Sac effects that we can get (almost) double the value on by tagging our creatures with Cauldron before saccing so they come back. Can even go full value by using Eventide's Shadow to clear opponents counters, and your -1/-1 counters so you can Cauldron again! COOK EVERYTHING! It's a more complex precon however power-level wise I'm confident it lands nicely in Bracket 2/Precon territory. Easily disrupt-able with lower power cards and the only tutor being mechanically in-line with the deck and slow+expensive.
