Decks, Cubes, and Other Lists

Radagast of Rhosgobel

Flash in massive creatures during your opponents combat as blockers, then follow with a huge retaliation on your turn!

Dáin of the Ancient Halls

Gandalf, Party Guest

The Gandalf Echo Chamber. Every possible card art including Gandalf is in the deck. The rest are good cards with art from Tales of Middle-earth Commander. (Evolving Wilds & Island Printing are not on the website)

Chief of the Wilds

Bard, Heir of Girion

From humble townsfolk to steadfast soldiers. Rally the blood of Dale, and train them into a force wotrhy of Lake-Town. --- A go-wide Soldier recruitment deck, with sub-themes of Second Draw, Flashback, and weenie recursion. You can't keep a good soldier down.

Smaug, Wicked Worm

The Master of Lake-town

First time making a deck with no budget and it not being from my bulk. Unsure of my skills. This is made for you to ping opponents and make them mill out.

Chief of the Wilds

I present to you Pack Love, a "The Hobbit" precon featuring large and small wolves. These wolves run in a pack because working as a team is better than being alone. They learned it's a lot easier to boost each other and train together to overpower prey or an enemy. Hunt together, stalk together, form a never ending pack. What more could a wolf want? I included lots of wolves that either boost other wolves or make more wolves. The bigger and stronger the pack, the easier to dominate. This deck is all about being aggressive and taking out an opponent in whatever way you can.

Bilbo, Thief in the Night

"I may be a burglar... but I am an honest one, I hope, more or less." This deck is not built as a traditional Mono-Blue Control deck. It is built as a story. The goal was simple: What would a Commander deck look like if it truly felt like Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit? Rather than overwhelming opponents with raw power, this deck wins through stealth, cleverness, misdirection, and theft. Bilbo sneaks past defenses using equipment. Once he attacks, he begins replaying tricks and treasures from the graveyard, turning every successful attack into another chapter of his adventure. Bilbo's ability rewards casting spells from unusual places, making the graveyard feel like a burglar's hidden stash rather than a discard pile. The deck's central theme is borrowing other people's things permanently. The Hobbit cards help tell the story: Bilbo discovers the Arkenstone, solves riddles with Gollum, learns ancient secrets, and receives guidance from Gandalf along the way. The deck intentionally includes many flavor-driven choices even when stronger competitive alternatives exist. Unlike most Mono-Blue decks, this deck tries to avoid becoming "Blue Goodstuff." Every card was chosen because it contributes to one of three themes: Sneak In Steal the Treasure Escape With the Loot

The Chief Warg

Gandalf, Party Guest

Chief of the Wilds

Keep your opponents guessing by flashing in a pack of wolves out of nowhere. You can both go tall or wide, and the commander becomes extremely deadly if unchecked. This is a wolf tribal where card flavor matters. I purposefully omitted cards like "Hollowhenge Overlord" to keep the power level in check.

Radagast of Rhosgobel

Reading the title of the deck explains the deck

Radagast of Rhosgobel

Radagast calls upon his friends of the woods to protect Rhosgobel and the neighboring Mirkwood forest. This deck is very creature focused and does what green does best, just on everyone's turn!

Thranduil, Sindarin Liege // Silvan Rally

Thorin, King of Durin's Folk

Radagast of Rhosgobel

Bifur, Melodic Rider

Ori, Plate Stacker

Chief of the Wilds

Gollum, Riddle Master

What Has It Got in Its Pocketses? is a mono-black Gollum deck built around one simple idea: every riddle should lead to another riddle. Gollum, Riddle Master, enters the battlefield and asks the table to play along by choosing odd or even. As opponents cast matching spells, Gollum works through his three rewards. Once the riddle has been fully answered, the deck is designed to sacrifice, bounce, or reanimate him so he can return and start the game all over again. Rather than being a generic mono-black goodstuff deck, the list leans heavily into Gollum's story and personality. Cards like My Precious, Call of the Ring, One Ring to Rule Them All, The Torment of Gollum, Claim the Precious, Nazgûl, and several different versions of Gollum keep the deck grounded in Middle earth. Mechanically, the deck plays like an aristocrats/reanimator precon. Sacrifice outlets such as Viscera Seer turn a finished Gollum into value, while cards like Unearth, Reanimate, Malakir Rebirth, Fake Your Own Death, and Kaya's Ghostform bring him right back for another riddle. Conjurer's Closet and Erratic Portal can reset Gollum without even needing him to die. The goal is not to solve the riddle once. The goal is to make the table answer it again… and again… and again. A strange little creature, an unhealthy obsession with a certain precious object, and a Commander who simply refuses to stay dead.

Beorn the Fierce

Dwalin, Weaponmaster

mix of equipment that come with Power and toughness buff and abilities to give creatures, power them up and swing away.

Saruman of Many Colors

This is an Esper spells-matter/mill deck built around Saruman of Many Colors. The plan is to cast two spells per turn, use Saruman's second-spell trigger to mill each opponent, then exile and copy an instant or sorcery from a graveyard. The deck converts every spell into value through Talrand, Sky Summoner, Murmuring Mystic, Archmage Emeritus, and Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy.

Gollum, Riddle Master

Chief of the Wilds

Dáin, Lord of the Iron Hills

Gandalf, Party Guest

This deck is centered around Wizards and Spells. Gandalf is my favorite character, so I wanted to make a fun deck centered around him. And, why not at a party while we're at it.

Bard, King of Dale

Dale NEVER LOOKED BETTER after the battle of the five armies! This Hobbit-precon is centered around Bard, King of Dale and artifacts. Play the rebuilding of Dale: When you play food like Lembas or instant ramen, increase your population (tokens) and wealth (cards)! Drawing cards makes tokens or playing artifacts make tokens and/or draws you more cards. The more artifacts you play, the stronger the city grows. With four opponents make SIX solemn simulacrums with blade of selves, or make 8 myr tokens with Myr battlesphere or draw FOUR cards of your Lembas with Bard and Gandalf the white. Kill all your opponents with a well timed Masterful Replication leaving all your thopters as copies of Metalwork colossus, and don't get me started on mimic vat! The possibilities are endless.

Thorin Oakenshield

Thranduil, the Elvenking

The goal was to have it under 50 bucks but still something that could work, which is something I think it does even without some chase cards you'd want in the deck. Don't mind the dinosaur who's not really fitting in lord of the rings/the hobbit though, he's just there for being big and doing damage (and dinosaurs are cool, nothing else to say). And the doggo had to be in it. Doggo's are cool, he can be fun if played in the right moment. Tried to put in as many lord of the rings/the hobbit cards as well, as long as they do something and are affordable within the overall price. Wish me luck in the giveaway:)

Thranduil the Strategist

Thranduil the Strategist

Gandalf, Goblins' Bane // Flameshape

The goal is for the deck to feel like Gandalf casting spell after spell while traveling with the Company, rather than simply being a generic mono-red burn deck. Build up resources → cast a chain of spells → Gandalf grows and burns the table → generate enormous mana → unleash one huge final turn.

Chief of the Wilds

Build a great warg pack and ambush your foes with the great Chief of the Wilds! Unite the pack and trample over your Enemy

Smaug the Magnificent

Thorin Oakenshield

This deck revolves around the Storied mechanic - set out with Thorin to collect your company of trusty dwarves, a burglar and a wizard. Utilize equipment to buff your legends and use tricks to get out of scrapes! Each card has a title that could easily fit within the story of 'There and Back Again' and would ideally feature themed art to match the story. Like most precons, I tried to feature a mix of new cards to showcase the new set mechanic, as well as relevant cards from Magic's history. The manabase is functional but has clear room for upgrades, and some chase cards from the main set (such as Orcrist, Sting, and Gleaming Splendor) would be great upgrades!

The Master of Lake-town

The Master of Lake-town is GREEDY and this deck is greedy. PAY LIFE AND MILL, MILL, MILL. REANIMATE, SACRIFICE, MORE MILL... MORE GRAVEYARD, MORE POWER. Also, gain some life back, so hopefully you don't kill yourself, but who cares if you do.

Dwalin, Weaponmaster

This deck is limited by the options in the current LOTR themed sets, imagine the additional equipment has a slightly different art for it =) Set up to be a lower power level precon. Use equipment and Dwalin's ability to hone to enhance a collection of equipment (Not all of them thematically use just axes in the book, but lets suspend that thought) to win with overwhelming strength.

Smaug the Magnificent

Smaug the Impenetrable

Smaug the Impenetrable sleeps atop more than gold, he sleeps atop the last of Durin's Folk, who never abandoned Erebor even after the dragon claimed it. This precon plays out that uneasy alliance: every blow that lands on Smaug becomes Treasure, and every Treasure fuels the Dwarves who still call the mountain home. Balin loots the ruins, Dáin Ironfoot rallies the survivors, Gimli and Óin swing axes forged from what's left of the hoard all while the dragon himself turns punishment into pure profit and burns the table down with what he's collected. Where most attempts at Smaug lean purely into Treasure burn, this build keeps one foot in the halls of Erebor. A Dwarven war chest with a very possessive landlord. Gather the Company. Wake the dragon.

Radagast of Rhosgobel

This is a straightforward deck. It plays a bunch of creatures with strong enters triggers, as well as a couple of death touchers to help protect you from scary creatures. Glademuse and Beast Whisperer are in here to help keep your hand full. While a couple of craterhoof behemoth style effects are in here to end the game when your opponent least expects it. The Notary Hobbits act as a backup commander if you want a ramp piece in the command zone to accelerate into your biggest threats.

Thorin, King of Durin's Folk

Beorn the Fierce

Beorn's Bear Necessities 🐻 Welcome to the Shire's most questionable dining experience. Beorn has one simple rule: if it walks, it can probably be a Bear. 🌳➡️🐻 This deck takes the humble Bear and cranks the ridiculousness all the way up. We're making Bears, turning perfectly respectable creatures into Bears, turning tokens into Bears, and occasionally turning things into Bears that absolutely had no business becoming Bears in the first place. Ayula keeps the Bears angry. Beorn makes them enormous. Maskwood Nexus asks the important question, "What if EVERYTHING was a Bear?" And Bearscape ensures that even the graveyard isn't safe from our furry uprising. There are Hobbits, there are treasures, there are counters, there are suspiciously large woodland creatures and somewhere along the way, somebody is definitely going to ask: "Why is that a Bear?" The answer is simple: Because Beorn said so. Bring your appetite, leave your common sense at the door, and remember: The simple Bear necessities… are all you need to beat your enemies. 🐻💥

Dwalin, Weaponmaster

A Voltron built around the Hobbit story including all the important story element from the dwarves perspective. The playstyle is Get tall swing hard pass equipment.

Bard, King of Dale

Smaug, Wicked Worm

Smaug, the Wicked Worm is here to bring pain to any would-be thieves and death to all his enemies. This deck is designed to allow you to turn your opponents’ advantage into your profit and then strip them of all their hard-earned setup. The deck wants to use its treasures to whittle away its opponents’ life totals and draw cards along the way. These cards will then turn your opponents’ creatures into corpses and feed your next spell by turning them into treasure. The deck has been built to roughly accommodate the budget laid out by the Professor and tries to thematically tie its cards together.

Radagast of Rhosgobel

A precon deck centered around life and growth. Radaghast enables you to bring in discounted creatures on your opponents end step. This deck uses counters to create big creatures to stomp over your opponents and a good amount of life gain to stay in the game. Plenty of room to upgrade, swap, and customize this base level deck - just like a precon!

Dwalin, Weaponmaster

This deck plays utility equipments that the commander immediately buffs and can swing in reliably for large damage. Lots of card draw, ramp, and equip cost reduction allows for flexibility and speed. Other creatures than the commander allow for late game power when the commander tax is no longer payable. Tried to keep the price somewhat low while still being a playable deck.
