This is an entry for the Tolarian Community College The Hobbit set precon contest. This is Bard, King of Dale, a deck that multiplies incremental value into a formidable battlefield presence for the defense of Lake-town and the restoration of Dale. Built around mid-range Azorius token generation and card filtering, the deck uses Bard's doubling ability to turn simple cantrips, clues, and recruitment spells into explosive hand refills and wide defensive armies. Designed strictly to match into official Bracket 2 precon, it bypasses non-interactive combos in favor of telegraphed combat, relying on evasiveness, wide infantry, and asymmetrical board control like Hour of Reckoning to win the day through honest Magic.
