Fly you fools!
deck The Lord of the Eagles
Aug 12, 2026
The main goal of this deck isn't to be too flashy or optimized, but to focus on flyers, card draw and some ring temptation while keeping the feel of a pre-con.
I wanted to squeeze as many Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit cards into the deck as possible, with only a few exceptions for function or coolness.
Going mono-blue still gave me the chance to include some of my favourite characters and locations, including Bilbo, Gandalf, Saruman and Elrond, while still feeling natural for a casual Commander deck.
I'm really proud of the flavour throughout the deck. The game plan being to slowly build up a flock of flyers, draw cards, let the Ring tempt you before having a big flashy turn where The Lord of Eagles leads the charge, much like they do in the book to turn the tide of the Battle of Five Armies.
