Hobbit Precon - Hobbit Diplomacy
deck Bilbo, Unexpected Adventurer
Aug 12, 2026
This deck is a primarily a politics deck. Bilbo's combat damage effect and other treats that benefit members of the table, like Jailbreak, Sudden Salvation, and Pendant of Prosperity, will buy favor and take eyes off of our sneaky plans. Using pillow fort effects like, Ghostly Prison or Windborn Muse, we will stall the table until we are in the perfect position. Bilbo will then be able to take out the stragglers at the table with a single, (or sometimes double) strike with cards like Sting, Bilbo's sword, Sublime Archangel, or Gavel of the Righteous.
I build this deck to avoid any Universes Beyond cards outside of the LOTR's IP. A Precon set on middle earth wouldn't have Cloud or Leonardo wondering about the 99. I also tried to add cards that could use some major reprints that either already are or would fit with a LOTR's reskin, like Delney, Rammas Echor, and Crawlspace.
