Lost Hobbit contest decks

Thorin, King of Durin's Folk

Sep 8, 2026

Most of the cards are from the Hobbit or LOTR set I made it so it works with either Dáin of the Ancient Halls or Thorin, King of Durin's Folk in the command zone I wanted a Deck with a focus on all the Dwarves from those 2 sets.

Bard, King of Dale

Aug 23, 2026

Using Middle Earth only cards and led by their Commander "Bard, King of Dale" this deck can go wide with tokens and/or go big with +1/+1 counters. With 23 Humans, multiple ways to pump them up, and a never ending stream of draw power this deck is ready to go off. The perfect "Precon" style commander deck! "This is your realm, and the heart of the greater realm that shall be. The Third Age of the world is ended, and the new age is begun; and it is your task to order its beginning and to preserve what must be preserved. For though much has been saved, much must now pass away; and the power of the Three Rings also is ended. And all the lands that you see, and those that lie round about them, shall be dwellings of Men. For the time comes of the Dominion of Men, and the Elder Kindred shall fade or depart.” - Gandalf // Submitted by MobCougar08

The Lord of the Eagles

Aug 21, 2026

The idea behind this deck was that every card expect for lands and artifacts had either a bird, drake, or bird headed creature in the artwork. This deck isn't the greatest thing I've ever built but it's a pretty solid mono blue flyers and value deck. Using cards like Gravitational Shift to reduce opposing creatures power you can fly to victory, while Coastal Piracy keeps your hand full

Bilbo, Thief in the Night

Beorn the Fierce

Bard, King of Dale

Aug 21, 2026

This deck was designed to fill your hand while utilizing lifegainers to scale your life total with the oppressive board state you create. Keeping this deck as cheap as possible was particularly challenging and that added restriction created a very rewarding experience. This was a blast to build and play-test with my friends.

Chief of the Wilds

Aug 21, 2026

The whole deck is built around putting +1/+1 counters on your creatures, making a board that can go wide and/or tall, and making holes in your opponents defenses. There are a handful of cards with ferocious and similar effect that gain to benefit from casting big creatures and spells. By using fight/bite spells and giving your creatures menace, you can control the board in a way that leaves opening to be exploited. Additionally, there are a few options to make creatures unblockable. Cards like Seismic Tutelage result in game ending threats quickly (basically turning any of your creatures into a hydra in a turn or two). While other cards like Primal Vigor and Garruk's Uprising help overwhelm opponents with a wide but low board. I originally built the deck around The Chief Warg and it can be subbed in as an alternative commander if you want a more draw heavy deck. Additionally, I set myself ~$100 budget and originally limited myself to LotR, Hobbit, and Foundations. After which I filled holes and padded using the rest of magic's library, including some cards I would love to see reprinted. If I were to make any more changes, it would be to the mana base. Ditch some of the basics and replace them with better lands, but I couldn't in good faith put a bunch of $10+ lands into this.

Elrond, Moon-Reader

Aug 21, 2026

The idea for this deck came from the scene in Rivendell where Elrond holds Thrór's Map up to the moonlight and discovers the hidden entrance to Erebor. I wanted the deck to feel like that moment mechanically. Most of the creatures are readers, scouts, birds, sailors, and other travelers with activated abilities. By using those abilities during each player's turn, Elrond keeps revealing more of the journey, one card at a time. Cards such as Thrór's Map, Key to the Side-Door, Uncover the Moon-Letters, Roll-Roll-Roll-Roll, and Gone Fishing help tell the story of the expedition. Elrond can also blink creatures and Sagas, letting you reuse them as though he were going back over different parts of the tale. My favorite part of the deck is its hidden win condition: Triskaidekaphile. If you begin your upkeep with exactly thirteen cards in hand, you win, representing Thorin and the twelve Dwarves setting out together.

Ferocious Wargs assemble! Overrun your opponents with fierce wolves (and a few human friends) using this four-power or more themed deck.

Bilbo, Thief in the Night

Aug 20, 2026

This deck is a journey through The Hobbit from Bilbo's perspective, capturing Bilbo’s adventure alongside his companions, his discoveries, and dangers he encounters along the way. The gameplay is intentionally simple and kept at precon-level. The goal is to get Bilbo through while filling the graveyard to boost your options. I hope that by playing this deck, you will have your own adventure.. and what an adventure it will be! With clever tricks, narrow escapes, and unlikely treasures perhaps you will sneakily win the day.

The Notary Hobbits

Aug 20, 2026

Thorin, King of Durin's Folk

Aug 20, 2026

This deck celebrates the dwarves from the hobbit set reinforced by on-theme, in-universe options that still fall within a precon budget. Pump out dwarven threats and set up an arsenal of equipment to pressure the board. Thorin, King of Durin's Folk rallies our board in the mid-game; sending power stat-lines through the roof to hammer down opponents' life totals.

The Great Goblin

Aug 20, 2026

The Great Goblin deals non-combat player damage every time you Amass. Then you sacrifice the Army to deal more damage, gain health, draw cards, and mill your opponents. It’s “OOPS! Just Goblins (… orcs and zombies), no Storm.” It’s Pain & Gain. You know the drill. "We're the Aristocrats!" You also might be saying, I don’t know… seems expensive. Fair, then replace Palantir and Bowmasters with a Sulfurous Springs and a Skirk Prospector and call it a day, you fiscally responsible beaut. P.S. - today is my birthday. Does that count for extra points? No? Alright, just checking.

The Master of Lake-town

Aug 20, 2026

You know what your friends will hate more than getting killed by your creatures? Getting killed by THEIR creatures! This mono-black precon is helmed by a devastating mill threat in the command zone and backed up by other mill staple cards. It features every reanimate-your-friend's-creatures cards I could find throughout Magic's history. This is sure to be a hilarious (for you) and interactive deck to pilot. Will you win? No idea, but it will be fun! Mill them, take them, swing them - No graveyard is safe when the Master is in Town!

The Lord of the Eagles

Aug 20, 2026

Beorn the Fierce

Aug 20, 2026

I resisted putting some cards in to keep in mostly on theme- and obviously opted out of some great ones to keep it budget friendly. Roaming throne for example and the one ring would be nice additions. Could swap out some of the bears- It’s fun to turn some of the creatures into bears. Enjoy!

Radagast of Rhosgobel

Aug 20, 2026

This deck was designed with the requirements of a precon in mind. It features 11 new cards from the set, equivalent to the number of new cards introduced in an average precon. The gameplan is straightforward for new players, while still leaning into the new commander's strengths. You flash in creatures and destroy your opponent's permanents, while building up a meaty board of your own. Deathtouch creatures act as de-facto creature removal, while ETBs target enchantments and artifacts. A hefty draw package ensures you never run out of cards, and trample enablers help you end the game. Adventures, which feature heavily in the main Hobbit set, also make a minor appearance within this deck as a way to introduce new players to the mechanic. Beorn can act as a backup commander for those who want a simpler gameplan of just slamming big creatures down and swinging in. 14 pieces of 2-3 mana ramp and a healthy smattering of bears in the list ensure that Beorn can hit the ground running, while assisting Radagast's primary gameplan. Finally, the price is, in theory, somewhat affordable; while the deck is listed at $85 at the time of posting (still too high!), the majority of this cost is due to the cards from the Hobbit set itself. I've playtested it with friends, and had a blast. I hope you enjoy it too!

Dwalin, Weaponmaster

Aug 20, 2026

Bard, Heir of Girion

Aug 20, 2026

This deck showcases the army of men and its main mechanic—"recruit". The only cards included are from the Hobbit products including The Hobbit Secret Lairs, as well as more lands from The Lord of the Rings: Tale of Middle-earth.

Gollum, Riddle Master

Aug 20, 2026

I have put together what I consider to be the most logical choice for a hobbit related commander deck, from the perspective of WOTC executives. Let me explain: The hobbit lends itself to 5 commander decks based on the battle of the 5 armies. WOTC execs decided they could potentially make more money releasing this as a standalone product, so they are no longer viable commander deck options. This really leaves 2 main options - a deck built around Bilbo, or a deck built around Gollum. A deck built around Bilbo would be too similar to the hobbit precon from the main LOTR set, so Gollum it is. "I heard that there is a Gollum movie coming out", says one WOTC exec, "this will tie in nicely. But how do we make sure this deck sells?" After much discussion they realise that customers loved to collect the 9 different Nazgul artworks. A reprint of a fresh set of 9 Nazgul in the old hobbit art style would make this a must-buy for any fan! With these prompts, the deck was put together based on normal precon considerations - mythic rare commander, a few higher value reprints, and an otherwise serviceable deck. Thematically this deck ties in with the upcoming 'Hunt for Gollum' movie by playing Gollum, getting value from each of his abilities, then sacrificing him to get some other benefit. But as we know Gollum is difficult to kill, which is why there are so many supernatural stamina-like effects. These have the added benefit of resetting Gollum to use all his abilities again. The remainder of the deck is largely aristocrats staples, with preference given to thematically appropriate card names.

Tom, Bert, and William

Aug 20, 2026

The main wincon is to slowly drain your opponents through token sacrificing. However, if you get to draw the big guy "Craterhoof Behemoth", then you should win next turn.

Dwalin, Weaponmaster

Aug 20, 2026

Follow Dwalin into the smithy, and watch as he hones usually lackluster equipment into unstoppable killing machines. Use many useful cheap equipment, before buffing them up through Dwalin's hone ability, and proliferate to further increase their effectiveness. Equipment with counter synergies are chosen to further increase the impact of this proliferation. With incremental card draw through equipment payoffs and a wide board of boardwipe-dodging equipment, this deck is both fast and resilient. While Dwalin's first strike and commander damage makes him a prime equip target, don't be too hasty loading all of the equipment onto him and giving your opponents an easy removal target. This deck has a very low mana curve, so prioritize setting up draw engines above all else, with having as many equipment on the field being the next most important objective. Winning: Commander damage obviously works, but other notable win conditions involve giggling skitterspike, soul immolation, and chandra's ignition which all turn 1 big creature into a game-ender. This deck also very easily deals damage over time to players with their defenses down, and chipping opponents down is a viable strategy to help finishing them off in the endgame. Other notes: Sheltered by ghosts and curse of opulence are generally good cards, but are primarily here to be legal search targets for Axgard armory, which finds an equipment and aura at the same time. There are multiple obvious upgrades to this deck with expensive equipment and equipment payoffs, but this deck was already pushing the price of what a precon's singles cost when announced, which is how I interpreted "decks that are about the price of a precon"

Chief of the Wilds

Aug 20, 2026

Assemble the hounds and invade some of the most famous planes in the Magic: The Gathering mythos with this commander precon! This deck is full of wolves and battles with triggered abilities to copy and out-value your opponents with. Also included is a small human subtheme supported by cards such as Torgal, A Fine Hound and Master of the Wild Hunt. But don't worry, you won't need to track day and night with this deck as werewolf cards have been excluded for streamlined gameplay.

Gandalf, Party Guest

Aug 20, 2026

Gandalf and his eclectic band of spell slingers are gonna sling their way to victory! WotC gave Gandalf a wizard typal ability, like Middle Earth is Hogwarts or some sh**. Really though, I’m pumped about this card as a commander. There is room for upgrades for some spells that can end the game a little more expeditiously, but I think this offers enough disruption and combat effects that can win a game or two at the precon power level.

Tom, Bert, and William

Aug 20, 2026

Tom, Bert, William, and a few other troll friends scour mirkwood for food and high power creatures to eat. A few interesting interactions: Baloth Prime can lend stun counters with nesting grounds, and also combos nicely with Gitrog Monster to make tokens and draw cards. Varolz and Deathclaws make huge buffs scavenging the 'yard and make excellent finishers. Tutor them up with Pollen and Fauna Shaman! Don't be shy about drawing a million cards and discarding to buff up Lotleth Troll. NEW CARDS Azog can hit your Hunted Troll, and then you can regenerate it for a cheap 8/8 army. Rhavonian Rampager is a powerhouse in this deck. beat with it. eat it. beat with the army it leaves behind. Excellent card exhibiting all strategies at once. Our Troll Trio love to eat a rotten Rakshasa. 3 mana draw 5 and set up a cardboard cutout army for your oppenents later on? seems fine. Radagast and Beorn are just Strong. You just play them and they do their thing and its great. sometimes no synergy is great synergy. Let beorn take some heat off the draw-a-million-cards strategy because if they don't they die to the bear. Speaking of, Gigantic Big Bear! It beats! Trolls Eats! Also don't neglect to eat the Mayor of Lake Town. He is tastier than he looks. Make food! Make your food revive a troll king. make it have crazy abilities from a squirrel witch (bonus points for golden goose to make your food make food). The food subtheme is minor, but just about everything that makes food, cares about it and makes it more useful.

The Chief Warg

Aug 20, 2026

Face your opponents with Azog's faithful warg, imagined through "The Chief Warg". Wargs hunt in packs - build up the hunting force that will overpower your foes and only grow stronger with each strike, kill or creature that joins. But death is not the end. Use your grave to either power up existing creatures or to bring back threatening pieces that were thought to be dealt with, a reminder that the hunt never ends.

Bard, King of Dale

Aug 19, 2026

The deck was inspired from the Great Gilded Boat card to draw, create tokens, and crew vehicles.

The Chief Warg

Aug 19, 2026

The idea of the deck is to keep a big body so you can draw extra cards each turn

Gandalf, Party Guest

Aug 19, 2026

Gandalf throws a rager of a house party with plenty to eat and too much careless spellcasting. It gets awkward when Saruman shows up with uninvited orcs. And who let that peasant crash? An overwhelmed doorman tries to keep track of all the other guests: "Who do you know here?" -Volo, Itinerant Scholar

The Great Goblin

Aug 19, 2026

The deck capitalizes on putting counters on creatures to constantly burn and gain card advantage.

Gandalf, Goblins' Bane // Flameshape

Aug 19, 2026

Gandalf, Goblins' Bane envisages the mighty Maia holding off an amassed goblin hoard in defense of his companions. Individually no goblin can hope to match the powerful wizard, so Gandalf's focus is on casting flurries of smaller spells to inflicting multiple instances of burn. Gandalf is assisted by a party of wizards/shamans and archers, designed to inflict an ever increasing amount of long range damage. And for close quarters combat, a party of dwarves is more than ready to trample over their natural goblin foes. With each spell powering up Gandalf's wrath, it is perhaps the goblins who should begin to be dreadfully afraid

Bard, King of Dale

Aug 19, 2026

This is a soldier tribal deck with Bard, King of Dale at the helm. The goal of the deck is to go wide and pump up your soldiers with anthem effects. There is a subtheme of drawing extra cards for payoffs to cycle through and find the tokens and their enablers for a wide board. Recruit is the obvious overlap of the two strategies, while there isn't a lot of these in the set they should always feel like a good payoff in either theme. Bard, King of Dale doubles all card draw and token creation to help go wide, while the backup commander Bard, Heir of Girion pumps up the wider board and provides consistent card draw for a brave army that swings every turn. This deck leaves room for growth as players can choose to enhance the tribal strategies or lean away for better "go-wide" strategies not restricted to the soldier archetype. They may even synergize better with card draw mechanics in the process.

Thorin, King of Durin's Folk

Bard the Bowman

Aug 19, 2026

I had the idea, "What if Bard defended Lake-Town with the help of the lake?" Followed that with some light research, and wouldn't you know it, in the older texts of the Tolkien Legendarium, there were indeed mentions of water spirits and merfolk! - Kindred, but modal: Precons tend to be a "pick your style" upgradable deck, so I wanted to include some solid Merfolk along with humans, and keep the types mostly focused on those creatures. There are a few thematic but not quite Merfolk or Human creatures in the deck, namely Goldberry and Unagi. I think they fit the theme and deck goals well enough to include. - Themed Spells: Dive Down, Fight as One, and the Crescendo cards are meant to be symbolic of the landfolk and lakefolk working together. Not true of every card, but true of at least a few! The deck should mostly try to win through commander damage or a wide enough board that Starlight Spectacular, Candlekeep Inspiration, or Herald of Secret Streams can eliminate the player with the most likely chance of breaking up the alliance.

Bilbo, Thief in the Night

Aug 19, 2026

Billlllbooooo bagginsssss Mayhem! Flashback! Retrace! Foretell! Disturb! Cast from Exile! Cast From Library! Bilbo is here with his bag of tricks to get close to being an affinity pile but retaining some of that classic hobbit charm. Stock your graveyard with tolarian winds and use all of your spells twice (or more!) to beat down your foes. Set up value engines early and finish big with cards like wurmcoil engine and portal to phyrexia, or just stab them with a big bilbo. Swap with the backup commander Emry to change things up! Upgrade this deck with mdfc lands, fast mana like lotus petal, and storm payoffs like aetherflux to go all the way there and back again. The deck mulligans incredibly well, and is quite consistent on getting up and running. Targeted hate gets rough as the deck can't support a traditional counterspell package, but the deck can interact at instant speed.

Smaug the Magnificent

Aug 19, 2026

The Great Goblin

Aug 19, 2026

This deck is helmed by the Great Goblin. Put various counters on your goblins/orcs/army to burn your opponents while utilizing his second ability as an impulse draw engine. Whether it be with an army to bash them or by using Tarrian's Soulcleaver/Blade of the Bloodchief to beat them with your commander or another threatening goblin. Then when your'e all finished with your big goblin/army/orc, Fling it, Soul Immolate it or even fight it with Brash Taunter for some extra damage. If all that goes askew you can use cards like Skirk Prospector to build up mana and build storm with the Great Goblins card advantage engine to finish them with a big storm Empty the Warrens finish! Enjoy!

Smaug the Impenetrable

Aug 19, 2026

This is an aggressive Rakdos deck whose gameplan is to use treasure tokens to either bring out the Stupendous himself much earlier than usual or to burn the opposing players to ash with token ETB and LTB effects and more targeted damaging spells.

Thorin, Company's Leader

Aug 19, 2026

There are 2 relevant things in a dwarfs mind: Battles & Treasures. This deck combines both sides into a pile of many angry dwarfes, who seek their glory in battle, equipped with legendary equipment and one common goal: create Treasures to create more Treasures. In order to achieve our goal the decks focus is on a tempo gameplan around our commander thorin. We want to play some dwarfes and when thorin enters the battlefield we slam our forces at our enemies to generate our precious treasure tokens to play more dwarfes and create more treasure tokens. But what would be an army of dwarfes without any finely crafted weapons of war. So get out your artifacts and equip your dwarfes, your enemies wont wait for you. (The focus of this deck was mainly to create a flavorful bracket 2 precon style deck instead of a pure powerhouse of good cards. As a result not every card was picked, because it was optimal, but to keep the flavor in line with the rest of the deck. Hope you like it ^^)

The Queen of Dale

Aug 19, 2026

Hi this is a The Queen of Dale token/reanimator deck. Primary source for the tokens and discard is the commander The Queen of Dale. With the token synergies we have elesh norn, moonshaker cavalry and Dion (when they flip) buffing them and other cards like Divine Visitation changing our tokens in big flying angels. On the reanimation side we basically want to be returning our big baddies such as Elesh Norn, Silverwing Squadron, Geist-honored Monk and others. Fun note Silverwing and Geist-honored both benefit from the amount of tokens we will be generating and adding to the tokens. Our main win cons are to hopefully get a lot of tokens and do one of the cool things like moonshaker overrun, Dion flipping into bahamut, Practiced offense or even The Eagles are Coming! we either want to buff our tokens to extremes or trade them in for big flying tokens like angels or eagles. We do have a snow land theme just for one card mainly and that is search for glory. Search for glory tutors for a legend, saga or snow card. We don't need snow lands to make it work but gaining the life from casting it with snow mana is nice and also if we are hurting for a land we can always tutor one up worse case. We also have a tiny desert theme for one specific creature Sand Scout. Sand Scout acts as typical white ramp getting us a desert if an opponent has more lands than us, however if any lands end up in our graveyard from anywhere Sand Scout makes us a 1/1 red, green, white sand warrior token. This may only happen once a turn, but thats fine especially if we have multiple opponents triggering our commander. In summary we want to win by going wide and hoping to reanimate a finisher to blow our opponents out

Build mana, acumulate knowledge, protect Gandalf, then turn Gandalf's ability into a crazy-draw engine.

Smaug the Impenetrable

Aug 19, 2026

Smaug has taken over the treasure troves. This Hobbit themed deck has you on an unexpected adventure of gathering dwarves, using treasures, and doling out damage. The deck is inspired where all cards that are not Hobbit or LOTR designs already, could be redrawn for the realms. Ping your commander and opponents at the same time with creatures and spells to keep the game rolling. As you approach end game, save up those treasures to cast large finale type spells or Revel in (your) Riches. The deck is designed with upgradeability in mind, while still being a blast to play. Expect to search for further win conditions, game changers, and upgrading the land base a little further if you want to turn this from a preconstructed deck to an epic journey.

Belladonna Took

Aug 18, 2026

Belladonna Took knows that the more company comes to the table, the merrier the celebration. Fill it with Humans, Hobbits, unexpected guests, and even a few spirits that seem to have tagged along with Andúril. Create tokens, draw cards, gain life, and strengthen your growing company until your humble gathering becomes an overwhelming force. This list embraces the spirit of a Hobbit precon, built as a Bracket 2 deck around a go-wide token strategy that rewards building a growing board and playing to the table. It leaves plenty of room for future upgrades while keeping the card selection rooted in Tolkien’s universe, avoiding cards from other intellectual properties or creature types that might feel out of place in the world of Middle-earth.

Smaug the Impenetrable

Aug 18, 2026

The dwarves have no use for it now, and Smaug has use for all of it. A deck that uses treasure tokens to whip up a little storm so that Smaug reminds opponents why you should never laugh at live dragons.

Gollum, Riddle Master

Aug 18, 2026

The Sackville-Bagginses

Aug 18, 2026

A grimly extravagant Aristocrats/Treasure sacrifice deck where nothing goes to waste not creatures, not artifacts, and certainly not your opponents. The Sackville-Bagginses turn every sacrifice into an opportunity to drain life, create Treasures, and trigger a cascade of painful death effects. With Academy Manufactor, Pitiless Plunderer, Krark-Clan Ironworks, Marionette Master, Marionette Apprentice, Nadier's Nightblade, and Mirkwood Bats, your humble Treasures quickly become an engine of destruction. The game plan is simple: make things, sacrifice things, make more things, and make everyone regret letting you have a Treasure token. It's a deck about resource conversion taken to its most ridiculous extreme your creatures become cards, your artifacts become mana, your mana becomes Treasures, and your Treasures eventually become lethal damage. Flavor: The Sackville-Bagginses finally got their hands on Bag End. Unfortunately for everyone else, they also got very good at turning inherited wealth into murder.

Smaug, Wicked Worm

Aug 18, 2026

Strong Bracket 3 deck that is only a couple of upgrades away from competing in Bracket 4. The deck prioritizes making Treasure tokens early and ramping into a turn 3-4 casting of Smaug, Wicked Worm. From there, Smaug's ability to churn through the deck combined with five tutors in the deck give consistent access to a deterministic combo line (as well as a few non-deterministic lines/alternate win condition) that target a turn 6-7 play for the win. The decklist also contains a healthy amount of removal, protection, and recursion to ensure that the combo lines can go through while also preventing an opponent from running away with the game too quickly. At a low cost of $150 to build, this deck is an incredible amount of fun that can easily be cranked up to 11 with some simple upgrades (i.e. Dualcaster Mage shenanigans). I hope you enjoy my take on Smaug, Wicked Worm! Combos Include: A creature/enchantment that burns the table with Treasure token generation combined with either: Fury Storm + Storm-Kiln Artist + 4 mana + any instant/sorcery activation, Magda, Brazen Outlaw + either 10 Treasure tokens or Clock of Omens + Liquimetal Torque, Clock of Omens + Coin of Mastery + either Academy Manufacturer or Xorn. These lines will allow for infinite Treasure token generation that will burn each player for the win. Another combo line includes Scourge of Valkas + either: Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink + 9 mana, or Devastating Onslaught + 11 mana to burn each player for the win. Magda, Brazen Outlaw + 25 Treasure tokens can also bring Hellkite Tyrant out from deck at instant speed to allow for the alternate win condition to be achieved.

Smaug, Wicked Worm

Aug 18, 2026

I wanted to write out and describe some of the flavor and mechanical ideas behind the design choices in my submission to the Hobbit precon challenge, “Thieves! Fire! Murder!”, headed by Smaug, Wicked Worm. I tried to design this “precon” around recreating one of my favorite moments from The Hobbit, the moment Smaug realizes his incredibly vast hoard is missing a single golden cup. (My actual favorite moment is when Bilbo reveals himself to the dwarf camp after escaping the Misty Mountains, but I found that slightly more difficult to recreate through a Commander deck.) The idea of thieves encroaching on a dragon’s hoard, followed by the dragon awakening and unleashing fire and murder upon its intrusive guests, is the core of this deck’s identity. I wanted the deck to punish the other players for their greed, while Smaug’s own avarice remains almost impossible to eclipse. I also tried to keep the deck within a reasonable precon budget, at least before the inevitable devaluation caused by reprints, and like actual precons, leave some clear and easy areas for potential upgrades both from within the set and from Magic at large. -Upgrades: There were several cards I considered because of how naturally they fit the deck, but ultimately did not include because the aggregate price of the deck was threatening to become unrealistic for a true “precon.” That said, actual precons often seem very aware of the cards that could be great inclusions without putting every one of them in the deck. It gives players obvious upgrade paths, encourages them to interact with the larger Magic community, and naturally encourages them to buy more sealed products from WOTC. -Better Treasure Generation- Goldspan Dragon Cavern Hoard Dragon Professional Face Breaker Rain of Riches Xorn Dragon Cursed Halls Smaug the Magnificent Ancient Copper Dragon The Reaver Cleaver -High Synergy Upgrades- Academy Manufactor Grim Hireling Alchemist’s Talent Warren Soultrader Bottle Cap Blast Dragon’s Desire Mycosynth Lattice -Better Win Conditions- Torment of Hailfire Bolas’s Citadel Revel in Riches -And truly, there are many more.- - Gameplay- At its core, the deck seeks to generate Treasure tokens quickly, sacrifice them for more value than our opponents, and then amplify both sides of that equation through Smaug. Once Smaug enters the picture, the deck can begin overwhelming the table through the enormous amounts of mana and card advantage that our Treasure engine provides. There are a few different pieces working together to make that happen. -Building Our Own Hoard- Some cards simply generate Treasures independently of our commander, giving us the resources necessary to start building Smaug’s hoard before he ever arrives. Lobelia Sackville Baggins is one example. There are plenty of other Treasure generators throughout the deck as well, making sure we are rarely completely dependent on Smaug to get started. -Giving Our Opponents Treasure- Other cards deliberately give our opponents artifacts in order to further push the value we gain from playing Smaug. One of my favorite things about this interaction is that giving each player one Treasure can, in theory, mean three Treasures for us in a typical four player Commander game. -Cards that play into this include: Bloodvial Purveyor Descent into Avernus Marching Duodrone Normally, giving our opponents free resources would be dangerous. Here, though, that generosity is temporary. We are inviting them to become greedy so Smaug can punish them for it later. -Punishing Greed- Some cards seek to damage our opponents either when we use our Treasures or simply because our opponents have been foolish enough to accumulate Treasures of their own. -Cards such as:- Generous Plunderer Weftstalker Ardent Mirkwood Bats The Sackville Bagginses These slowly chip away at the table while reinforcing the flavor of the deck. Everyone wants a piece of the hoard, but possessing it comes with consequences. - Rewarding Us for Spending the Hoard- Still other cards simply reward us for using and sacrificing our Treasures. -Examples include: Crime Novelist Moriok Rigger Shard of the Void Dragon Together, these cards make sacrificing Treasure feel like more than simply producing mana. Each Treasure can trigger several different pieces of the deck at once, turning the act of spending Smaug’s hoard into another engine of value. - Removal and Card Advantage- The deck also includes card draw and removal that take advantage of our large number of artifacts and Treasure tokens. Cards like Battle at the Bridge, Starstorm, and Monumental Corruption help convert the hoard we have built into removal, cards, or other forms of advantage. -I also love Wildfire in this deck.- Because we are so heavily invested in Treasure generation, destroying lands is generally going to hurt our opponents much more than it hurts us. Even after the battlefield burns, Smaug is still sitting on a mountain of gold. -Which feels appropriate.- -Winning the Game- Eventually, all of this Treasure generation, sacrifice value, and incidental damage has to actually kill someone. Sometimes that means simply flying overhead with dragons such as Freejam Regent, after our Treasure production has allowed us to deploy threats much faster than normal. Sometimes it means winning outright with Hellkite Tyrant if our hoard has grown large enough. Other times, the deck threatens lethal by constantly pinging away at the table until everyone’s life total collapses under the combined pressure of cards like Mirkwood Bats, and Descent into Avernus. The end result should feel less like assembling one specific combo and more like Smaug finally waking up. The table has spent the game stealing, hoarding, and getting greedy. Eventually the dragon notices. -Flavorful Choices and Art Opportunities- My favorite part of precons is seeing new art for old cards that completely reshapes how you see them. I love when just a slight twist in perspective, combined with inspired artwork, can completely recontextualize an old card or familiar staple. Likewise, I love inclusions that do not necessarily receive new artwork but still give a knowing nod to the audience and make it obvious that the designers were very aware of the source material. -Here are some of my favorite opportunities in this deck. -Clearwater Goblet- I imagine Clearwater Goblet as a representation of the cup whose disappearance enrages Smaug and causes him to awaken. It even has some mechanical synergy through Sunburst, since our Treasure tokens can help provide the different colors of mana necessary to maximize it. It can then help us regain some of the life lost through our commander and other symmetrical effects. -Commander’s Sphere- This is my attempt at having a cheaper simulacrum of the Arkenstone within the precon. The actual mechanics are fairly simple, but it seems like a perfect opportunity for alternate artwork showing the great jewel of the Mountain. -Battle at the Bridge- The image painted of Lake town during Smaug’s attack has always left me appreciative of the idea of scuttling the bridge so Smaug cannot easily land and attack the town. Because of that, Battle at the Bridge felt like a fitting inclusion. It also happens to carry Improvise, giving it some nice mechanical synergy with all of the artifacts and Treasure tokens the deck is producing. - Fabled Passage- I think Fabled Passage offers another great opportunity for alternate art. I imagine it depicting the secret passage into Smaug’s lair shown on Thrór’s map, the hidden door revealed by the setting sun on Durin’s Day. Thieves! Fire! Murder! Many of the remaining cards fall directly into the three titular categories. -Thieves or Thieving- Al Bhed Salvagers Generous Plunderer Greedy Freebooter Hoard Robber Prosperous Bandit Wanted Scoundrels Spiteful Repossession Prying Blade -Fire- Banefire Fireball Wildfire And to be honest, I would include basically every dragon in the deck in this category as well. - Murder- Murder Grim Bounty Battle at the Bridge -The Rest of Smaug’s Hoard- The other artifacts included in the deck, while not necessarily direct references to known objects within Smaug’s treasure hoard, are meant to represent the kinds of strange riches one might find accumulated inside such an impossibly vast collection of wealth. Several of them also reinforce the idea that greed itself can be dangerous. I particularly like the trio of Jinxed artifacts for this reason. They capture the idea of greed biting back at whoever possesses them, while also synergizing with our commander and introducing an interesting political angle at the table. You can take the treasure. You just might regret it.

For the record, the official deck name is "Yes, They Were Actually the 5th Army, Read the Book". I wanted to really stick to building a deck as close to the current batch of precons as I could. This deck focuses mainly on Wolf Typal, but also has +1/+1 counter synergies, token creation to go wide, a small Battle subtheme, and a Ferocious subtheme, as it is prevalent on many of the Hobbit warg cards. I tried to make things balanced, while still leaving room for powerful cards for those rare big ticket reprints. This deck can obviously be upgraded with more powerful cards, which I think is perfectly in line with the precon design philosophy. Sarulf, Realm Eater, and The Chief Warg act as lieutenants/alternate commanders for the deck.

This is a mostly in-universe precon design, with a couple of bombs that Bard only makes better. It centers mostly on token creation, whether that comes from the new Recruit mechanic, or various other outlets. The bombs and large token generation mostly come from outside the various Lord of the Rings products, but I think it gives enough options that you will (hopefully) hit at least one big bomb, or have one giant threat after the numerous board wipes that will be heading your way.

Balancing a strategy of big, stompy creatures with built in card draw for simply having those very same creatures with your commander out, Beorn to be Wild should be an easy and fun PreCon to pilot for any new or current player of Magic the Gathering. This is a very solid bracket 2 deck that can easily be upgraded with cards such as Chronicle of Victory, Finale of Devastation, Roaming Throne, and/or Last March of the Ents for example alongside some game changers as well to get it up to a bracket 3 deck as needed, while not skimping out on value for what is already included in the PreCon itself.

Putting new chase cards from the hobbit set in the deck like gleaming splendor and the queen of dale help keep the deck flavorful while keeping good value.

Basically became a Oops, all Gandalf's using cards from LOTR and HOB. The deck is on theme, throwing a party, having food and casting spells, a good olde, time. To keep on budget, using cards that you may have in your collection and not finely tune. To upgrade the deck, you can use the Jeskai, shocks, fetches and surveils, and use other cards like Monologue Tax->Gleaming Splendor 3 Plains-> Steam Vents, Sacred Foundry, Hallowed Founation 3 Islands-> Arid Mesa, Scalding Tarn, Flooded Strand 3 Mountains-> Elegant Parlor, Meticulous Archive, Thundering Falls Not counting cards that are bulk(under $2.00), and cards in a collection. The cards below, are the cost of most of the deck. 1xGandalf, Goblins' Bane // Flameshape $7.50 1xGandalf, Shadow's Foe $19.20 1xLife of the Party $11.23 1xGlamdring $5.09 1xWizard's Staff $4.83 1xStorm of Saruman $3.20 1xCall Forth the Tempest $20.27 1xFlame of Anor $4.16 1xJeskai Revelation $8.11 1xRaugrin Triome $14.45 Total 98.04

Bard the Bowman

Aug 17, 2026

The deck's objective is to grow Bard with cantrips and keep it on board with protection spells. Magecraft synergies will allow us to draw multiple cards on our opponents' turns, a few looters will also do the job and for that we have some low-power synergies like mentor of the meek and welcoming vampire. The interaction is at a minimum considering our main way of dealing with creatures will be to force unexpected blocks by untaping our commander at instant speed. Finally the endgame contains some lifegain synergies considering our commander will gain us life pretty consistently.

Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff

Aug 17, 2026

Riches to Ruin is an Orzhov Hobbit / Lord of the Rings inspired Treasure Aristocrats deck helmed by Lotho, Corrupted Sheriff. Let Lotho collect wealth from your opponents, then turn treasures into damage and value. --- As a Precon the deck has a simple and straightforward flow: use Lotho and other cards like Life Insurance, Monologue Tax, and Discerning Financier to generate your riches. Capitalize from your wealth with interest from Belladonna Took, Academy Manufactor, and Rosie Cotton. Turn your wealth into value and pain with cards like Mirkwood Bats, Lobelia, and the Marionettes. Then when you've accumulated a Smaugpile of treasure, cash it in with finishers like Exsanguinate and Debt to the Deathless to turn "Riches to Ruin". --- As a fan of DCC I saw Doug Kovacs art for this card and knew I wanted to build this one. There is no secondary commander as there are no other legendary Orzhov creatures in this set! Some potential upgrades that I did not include to keep the cost down include: Forge Neverwinter Charlatan (Gains power for each treasure you control, create treasure when opponents sacrifice creatures), Gleaming Splendor (Hobbit theme, force opponents to draw, creating you treasure), Grim Hireling (Create treasure from combat damage. Add Lands like Rogue's Passage, Secret Tunnel, Access Tunnel to make creatures unblockable), Orcrist Goblin Cleaver (similar value to Grim Hireling), Revel in Riches (treasure wincon), Tempting Contract (create treasure), The Arkenstone (card draw), Torment of Hailfire (potential finisher).

Aug 17, 2026

This deck has a wolf tribal theme with a food token subtheme. Our foods allow us to tap for extra mana, gain life, overrun our creatures and more! This deck was designed to allow for multiple ways to play so if you want to lean more into the food strategy then you can run Ygra, Eater or All as an alternate commander; or use Chief of the Wilds, our face commander, to double trigger the abilities of our wolves. There is only one battle in this deck because as of the moment, it is an unfortunately undersupported card type. Regardless of who you use as your commander they both build +1/+1 counters very quickly and there are several supporting cards to make your commander a massive threat! Make an army of wolves and food tokens and go wild!

Restricted myself to cards that can be pulled from Hobbit packs as much as possible, with a few extras that I would have had reprinted with fine JRRT elf flair in a lost Hobbit Precon. It's also my first time fully designing a Commander Deck from scratch, so I hope it's at least playable and fun!

The Queen of Dale

Aug 17, 2026

This deck is a mono white reanimator list. Fill your graveyard with the sea of recruit triggers from your commander, The Queen of Dale, or with one of the self-mill options like Millikin. From there, use cards like Breath of Life or Emeria, the Sky Ruin to cheat out big threats. Since the commander is giving you a constant stream of 1/1 Human Soldier tokens, I put in some human typal and token subthemes. Cards like Lossarnach Captain will give you extra value with each recruit trigger, while cards like Moonshaker Cavalry will turn a wide board of tokens into a game-ending threat. As with most precons, there is plenty of room for tinkering and upgrading this deck. Focusing more into the different themes by adding things like bigger reanimation targets or token doublers could turn this list from a fun bracket 2 deck into a force to be reckoned with.

Smaug the Magnificent

Aug 17, 2026

P.S. Well, formatting doesn't seem to work in the description, so it's just a huge mess of text, so I've removed a deck philosophy section that goes through each card and why it's there. This deck focuses on dragons, their minions and greed of the said dragons. I wanted to create a mono-red deck, because it seems like something that would be good for the new players too. It’s easier to learn from one color. Main themes of the deck: dragon tribe, artifacts(mainly treasures), damage interaction, discard, flying and haste. It doesn’t have many complex interactions and mostly focuses on the most common strengths of the typical red deck for the ease of learning. As most precons, it has obviously weak cards that could be replaced, a couple of "big hits" and sol ring + arcane signet + blasphemous act. Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant is an alt commander. At the moment of making it, it's 135$, which should be within the usual card value.

Smaug, Wicked Worm

Aug 17, 2026

When I built this deck 4 days ago, the price was sitting right around $150. In the time it took to playtest it, it appears the price of several cards have jumped significantly. It is a rather fun list and has plenty of room for upgrades like Smaug, the Impenetrable, Cavern-Hoard Dragon, and Ancient Copper Dragon, The One Ring, and Jeska's Will. The goal of this deck is to drain your opponents with cards like Mirkwood Bats, keep your hand full casting spells with treasures, and finish off your opponents by capitalizing on your treasure hoard with cards like exsanguinate.

The Lord of the Eagles

Aug 17, 2026

Flavor, power, and price are all balanced in this Hobbit Precon EDH deck featuring The Lord of the Eagles legend, surrounded by a beautifully diverse collection of creatures with a plethora of creature types spanning many of the classics of MTG. The commonality? They are all premium, high-power flyers who help quickly cast the avian alpha in efforts to get one over on the battlefield, and your opponents, with the naturally-evasive and massive commander's damage. Every creature in the deck is on-theme by either being a punchy flyer, or being accompanied by one on ETB. Flash is also fittingly themed-in to help keep mana open to react to casts and board states with counterspells/countercreatures and other instances of instants to disrupt opponent's plans and win-cons, as mono-blue should do! There is a splash of opponent-mill synergy and a bit of rogue/prowl synergy suitingly snuck in to boot. Care was taken while editing to ensure a fast and smooth mana-curve to maximize efficiency and speed, with focus on an consistent creature curve. Oh and, of course, curated card draw to keep the wind under our wings! *Expensive and "unfair" cards removed for flavor and $ cost: Consecrated Sphinx, Rhystic study, Wan Shi Tong, Librarian, Force of Will, Mana Drain...and a few more, you get it.

Gandalf, Party Guest

I feel Gandalf most wants to be a face commander. Spell slinger is a theme wizards has used for precons most notably in the orginal strixhaven commander decks, and wizards is a theme they've use with c17 Inalla. I steered away from double sided card reprints as I didn't think they would be in a precon especially for the hobbit. So no emperor of Palamecia, venat, ashling, joshua, or pinnacle monk A few cards I thought would push the precon title so no Veyran, Vivi, kaza, or Kykar. we are building specifically for bracket 2 which caused me to steer away from a could extra turn spells. I also chose not to add orcrust or gandalf, goblin's bane from the main set because precons generally don't get main set mythics, but I did add wizards staff and glamdring. I felt this was a good opportunity for some LotR set reprints like flame of anor and gandalf the grey, but steered clear of those a little more sought out like call fourth the tempest or flowering of the white tree Overall, I am happy with how this turned out theme, budget, and power level

Bilbo, Thief in the Night

Aug 17, 2026

Use small, evasive creatures that have loot/connive effects to fill your graveyard with artifacts, instants, and sorceries. Then use Bilbo to accrue value from the cheap artifacts and big spells. With plenty of ways to filter to what you need, you'll use Bilbo's artifact recursion to grow your unblockable threats and perhaps find ways to get even more value from Bilbo's effects!

Rally the citizens of Lake-town and turn the tide of battle with Defenders of Esgaroth!

Harness the new 'Recruit' mechanic to summon a relentless swarm of town guards to defend your life total until your "draw-two" engines and hand total become the biggest threats in the game. Outmaneuver your rivals with endless card advantage, shield your token army with classic protection spells, and command a desperate defense that escalates into an overwhelming, legendary triumph!

Bard, King of Dale

Aug 17, 2026

Share in the prosperity of Dale, rebuilt after the desolation of Smaug and thriving once again. King Bard doubles not only your extra card draw, but also all your tokens, making the new Hobbit Recruit mechanic an exceptional fit for this deck. Under Bard's leadership, swiftly recruit and draw your way into a massive board of humans and overwhelm your foes! | Enlist the help of feathered friends with Bard's ability to speak to birds to empower your armies as well! From extra card draw to buffs and massive evasive damage, this selection of aerial compatriots will help pave the way to victory. | If the King of Dale is too slow for your tastes, you may opt to take a more aggressive approach and use Bard, Heir of Girion instead. This bard will enable the deck's sub-theme of 'second draw' with more reliable triggers every combat. | Notable reprints include: Raise the Palisade, Moonshaker Cavalry, Queen of Dale, Flowering of the White Tree, and Clever Concealment. Clever Concealment and Moonshaker Cavalry could both benefit from LotR-styled artwork, perhaps Bilbo hiding from Smaug and the Army of the Dead, respectively. | With the assumption that this deck would be a precon, several notable utility cards were purposefully omitted, with the express purpose of allowing the player to focus the deck around whichever strategy they enjoy best while also keeping the deck simple, functional, and as close to the theme as possible (which is why I did not include cards like Skullclamp, Annointed Procession, Gleaming Splendor, Chivalric Alliance, Watcher in the Water, etc).

And absolutely no concern for what the rest of the table thinks about any of it. The plan is simple: build an army, amass an overwhelming board, sacrifice whatever gets in the way, and bring the dead back when Mordor inevitably demands reinforcements. Sauron keeps the cards flowing while the Ring tempts me toward increasingly questionable decisions. If the Fellowship shows up, they can have a turn. After that, Mordor is on the stack.

Thranduil, Sindarin Liege // Silvan Rally

Aug 16, 2026

This deck is created for the Tolarian Community College Lost Hobbit Commander Pre-con deck building challenge. It is created with heavy attention to maintaining the aesthetic of The Hobbit by omitting cards with non-Hobbit names (priest of titania and Marwyn, the nurturer as examples, though one or two snuck through) while still remaining explosively consistent and within budget. A landfall-driven Simic elf-ball deck that leans heavily into the green, it has an expected amount of ramp and card draw, providing consistent advantage and multiple land drops per turn - even when it's not your turn! The deck has a slight self-mill/recursion theme, but generally focuses on advancing and protecting the main token/land strategy. Proposed upgrades include Beast Whisperer, Concordant Crossroads, Birchlore Rangers, End-raze Forerunners, Joraga Treespeaker, Priest of Titania, Marwyn the Nurturer, etc. to improve draw, provide haste for explosive attacks and mana ramp, and giving your elf tokens other utility by becoming optional ramp. These were omitted from my deck due to budgetary and theme restriction.

Gollum, Obsessed Stalker

Aug 16, 2026

​"PO-TAY-TOES? It ruins it! Give us My PRETZELS! raw and wriggling!" ​Inspiration & Lore -> Nothing in Middle-earth compares to Gollum’s single-minded obsession with My Precious. In this deck, that same manic drive is transferred to My Pretzels; the Food token engine that fuels the entire game plan. ​Samwise can keep his boiled PO-TAY-TOES. Sméagol only wants his snacks "raw and wriggling!" But while these nasty, uncooked treats keep Sméagol thriving, they act as pure poison to everyone else. Every raw snack he hoards, cracks, and shoves down the throat drains your opponents' life force, turning Gollum's stomach-churning diet into a lethal, table-wide venom. ​Gameplay Integration -> ​Sneaking & Temptation: Gollum drops on Turn 2, using unblockable attacks and Ring temptation to slip past enemy lines and permanently mark every player who enters his cave. ​Main-Phase Snacking: In the main phase, Sméagol hoards and sacrifices Food tokens to trigger table-wide life drain and card draw. ​End-Step Doubling: On your end step, Gollum’s vicious side takes over—automatically doubling every point of main-phase drain to wipe out your opponents in massive damage bursts.

Buckle up, it‘s about time Gandalf get‘s his own Commander deck. After all, where would Bilbo and Frodo be if not for our favorite spellslinger? This is an exile-matters deck, seeking to play spells from outside your hand while giving you payoffs for doing so, e.g with cards like Wild-Magic Sorcerer or Passionate Archaeologist. Then, we enhance Gandalf‘s ping into serious burn damage or further payoff, e.g with cards like Virtue of Courage. Additionally, we play a lot of cards that are either flavorfull or that I simply consider a lot of fun, such as Call for Aid or Disrupt Decorum. Cards not fitting for Middle Earth such as Planeswalkers have not been included, although I had to include some UB cards from other IP’s as they were simply too good to leave out. The Most expensive cards are Delayed Blast Fireball, Passionate Archaeologist and Wild-Mage Sorcerer, but it also includes a fair share of cheap cards.

Gollum the Abandoned & Gollum, Riddle Master

Aug 16, 2026

This deck is an aggro reanimate deck featuring Gollum. You can start the game by randomly selecting one of the 5 two mana Gollums în that deck. The first riddle will be solved right away: Which one will land in the Command Zone and wich ones will go back into the deck? (The 4-mana Gollum is a surprise in this deck.) Hence the name for the deck, "Gollum Has Many Faces." Well, Gollum does have a rather split personality.. Summon Gollum, let him do his thing, let him fight, let him die, resummon him, sacrifice Gollum to kill your opponents' creatures, reanimate him, bring him back from the graveyard and repeat. It's that simple.....It's a never-ending torment for Gollum... hmmm, it's truly sad to write and read this. Anyway enjoy the deck!...and hey, $69 for a Precon is pretty good, right?

Pretty Simple deck, win conditions attack with big creatures. Use some Golgari tactics. Mashed together cards from Fellowship & Food precon as well as cards simply pulled from recent packs in Hobbit release. That being said, probably power of 2 or 3 and it exclusively only uses cards from Tolkien's universe of Magic cards.

Radagast of Rhosgobel

Aug 16, 2026

A Radagast precon featuring only permanents, because instants and sorceries are for decks that don't give creatures flash. Need a problem creature gone? Make a creature sit in front of them when they attack. Need an artifact or enchantment gone? Make a twitchy creature sit near it. Need an opponent gone? Make a creature sit on them. This is primarily a big stompy deck with a dusting of +1/+1 counters-after all, what's a precon without a random non sequitur subtheme thrown in? While the deck was predominantly built around Radagast of Rhosgobel, Radagast the Brown from Tales From Middle Earth has also been included as a swappable backup commander. I tried to keep the deck to about $150 and around a precon's power level. For anyone wanting to go beyond those limitations, my first recommendations would be Seedborne Muse and Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant.

Bard, Heir of Girion

Aug 16, 2026

This is the Bard Slayer of Smaug and the King under the Mountain. Become the Monarch and draw even more cards with this human tribal go wide theme. This precon wants to draw cards and rain down pain with small creatures made big from artifacts or the commander. Bard helps this strategy by giving card draw and an anthem for all your Creatures.

Belladonna Took

Aug 16, 2026

Develop your board with tokens and punch face with them. With help from your commander alongside other anthem affects, you will overwhelm your opponents with tokens. If anyone actually finds the deck interesting and wants an upgrade, here's an add eleven cut eleven: Cheap Add: Dusk Legion Duelist // Cut: Rumor Gatherer Add: Endless Foot Assault // Cut: Saradoc, Master of Buckland Add: Fountainport // Cut: Plains Add: Enduring Innocence // Cut: Dawn of Hope Add: The Ooze // Cut: Spirit Bonds Expensive Add: Generous Pup // Cut: Haunted Library Add: Skullclamp // Cut: Wayfarer's Bauble Add: Caretaker's Talent // Cut: The Mountain-King's Return Add: Sceptre of Eternal Glory // Cut: Rootborn Defenses Add: Gleaming Splendor // Cut: Monologue Tax Add: The Ozolith // Cut: Second Breakfast The cards didn't make it into the deck due to budget and theme reasons, but feel free to add them! Also adding a token doubler and smothering tithe makes a low bracket three and also adding the ones mentioned above turn it into a mid-high bracket three

"Later that night, while Bilbo lay in bed trying to fall asleep, he could still hear Thorin humming in the next room over: Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day, To find our long-forgotten gold." Dwarves gathering treasure for dragons to come and take it against their will. This is a tale as old as time, but none as grand as the one Bilbo, Thorin and company lived through the pages of The Hobbit. This deck is a dwarf tribal deck focusing on treasure generation. Once you have enough to lure the dragon into the battlefield, Smaug the Magnificent will strike with fire and fury to claim it all for his own.

Gandalf, Party Guest

Aug 16, 2026

Wizard Raves is inspired by the old meme of Gandalf being “delayed” because he was actually at a rave. The deck plays as a Wizard tribal midrange/spellslinger deck. Early turns build mana and establish legendary Wizards, increasing the size of the spells Gandalf, Party Guest can cast for free. Cheap spells keep the party going, while other Wizards and spell payoffs generate cards, tokens and increasingly large combat buffs. The main finishers are deliberately excessive spells such as Volcanic Vision, River's Rebuke, Blatant Thievery, Soulfire Eruption, Mnemonic Deluge and Apex of Power—the point where the Wizard rave peaks. Gandalf of the Secret Fire is the alternative commander mainly because he shares the Jeskai colour identity and I wanted an alternative commander from either LOTR or the Hobbit which was limiting. The other Jeskai Middle-earth legends, Aragorn and Éowyn, were already used as commanders in the official Riders of Rohan precon.

I tried to keep most of the cards inside of the Hobbit set, including all 13 dwarves and many of the cards related to their story beats. Strategy focuses on your dwarf kindred, with a side strategy of blink and graveyard effects. Thorin Oakenshield is Co-Commander, I prefer it given the protection it provides to your aggro strategy.

Smaug the Magnificent

Aug 16, 2026

Gather your treasure tokens to deal absurd damage every time Smaug stretches his wings! Things will get out of hand quickly as his pile of treasures grows, snowballing you into a one-shot threat at the table as the game goes on. But you already knew Smaug was a villain, right?

Bilbo, Thief in the Night

Aug 16, 2026

Before celebrations under the party tree / there was a thief once – and twice, and three! / Surprised by a wizard and dwarves thirteen / lies Smaug dead now, and Lake-Town is free This deck is a celebrative letter of love for the epic story that is the Hobbit. With every card picked with the utmost care(*) following events and world of the book, it's a demonstration of diversity and possibilities that Bilbo, Thief in the Night dishes out as your commander, bringing cooperation and synergies between many different card- and subtypes under one color. Dozens of these cards are supplied with new thematic arts(**) and many from past years are reprinted for the first time. By acquiring this deck to your party, you'll find yourself going on an adventure twofold, as Tolkien's legendarium combines seamlessly with highlights, relics and nigh-forgotten secrets through Magic's history. Inside you find tools to raid your opponents' possessions, prevent them from retaliating and to finally overcome them. (Notes: * I planned this deck and calculated prices in euros on Archidekt according to cheapest available versions, bearing in mind both precon selling prices and value for the buyer, but it seems that some card versions didn't quite transfer properly and total is a higher in here. Also, you can find references even from card amounts, such as lands and creatures, so please have caution while going through the decklist. It's been honed for a while, so hopefully you won't outright counter it. Pun intended. But seriously, do as you see fit, thanks for reading and have a wonderful day! <3 ** I think many of these would deserve new flavor for them if this was published as a preconstructed deck.)

Bard, King of Dale

Aug 15, 2026

The plan is pretty simple: draw cards, make tokens, and let Bard make both of those things stupid. Most of the deck works fine without the commander, but once Bard hits the board every draw engine gets better and every token maker starts getting out of hand fast. There’s a small Recruit package because it fits the theme and happens to work really well with both sides of Bard. And then there’s Skullclamp. Turning one disposable 1/1 into four cards because Bard decided drawing two wasn’t enough is exactly the kind of nonsense I wanted this deck to do. The deck usually wins by going wide with a ridiculous number of tokens, then finishing with Akroma’s Will, Moonshaker Cavalry, Mirror Entity, or Starlight Spectacular. Basically, Bard tells the story, adds a few details, and somehow one Soldier turns into an army.

I constructed this deck with multiple things in mind - clear theme, beginner friendly gameplay, and concept. My intention was to keep this deck at around the $100 price point as much as possible, while also letting the deck achieve it’s main objective - drop wolves, buff them, and let them “run wild” all over the place. It has a decent amount of ramp, removal, and anthem to help the deck tell its story over a good 10-12 turn game. The question is this, Team Tolarian: “Will you let the wolf inside you run wild?”

The Queen of Dale

Aug 15, 2026

Tried my best to make a deck that could work with in-universe flavour, made a little hard by the fact that I haven’t read the books. The focus of the deck is to slowly recruit an army of human soldiers, weather through dark times, and eventually charge forward with tenacity and various wide buffs to show the other four armies the power of the Kingdom of Men. It is mainly built around The Queen of Dale being the commander, but Bilbo, Unexpected Adventurer can be used as a sub commander for a recursion theme. A couple cards were put in to give a few ‘reprints’ for cards that might not get one outside of The Hobbit while trying to stay within a $150 budget.

Bard, King of Dale

Aug 15, 2026

This deck is an unconventional Azorius Combo / Self-Mill / Tribal Mill build, whose main goal is to use Hare Apparent to generate a massive number of tokens, then convert them into Advisors and end the game by milling all opponents’ libraries. The strategy begins with self-mill. Cards such as Mesmeric Orb, Hedron Crab, Millikin, Deranged Assistant, Faithful Mending, Ledger Shredder, and Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy allow you to quickly fill your own graveyard. Losing cards from your library isn’t a problem, quite the opposite, in fact, because Hare Apparents in the graveyard become fuel for the explosion to come. Once there are enough creatures in the graveyard, the deck utilizes mass recursion effects, primarily Raise the Past, Rally the Ancestors, and Ascend from Avernus. Bringing back multiple Hare Apparents at once triggers an avalanche of Rabbit tokens, allowing you to create a massive army of tokens in an instant from a seemingly empty battlefield. Another piece of the puzzle is Arcane Adaptation, Leyline of Transformation, and Maskwood Nexus. Thanks to these, Rabbits gain the Advisor type, allowing them to be used in conjunction with Persistent Petitioners. As a result, the vast number of tokens created earlier ceases to be merely an army it becomes fuel for activating Petitioners and grinding down opponents’ libraries. The deck also features additional tools for utilizing creatures and the graveyard. Altar of Dementia allows you to turn Rabbits into additional mill, and recursion enables you to reuse key creatures multiple times. Thanks to this, the deck can cycle through the following sequence: Self-mill → Hare Apparent in the graveyard → mass recursion → a huge number of Rabbits → Advisors → Persistent Petitioners → milling opponents. The most important thing is that the deck doesn’t have to win through combat. The massive horde of Rabbits is primarily a resource needed to power the mill engine. Opponents can have a huge advantage on the battlefield and still lose if the deck manages to pull off a single large recursion and accumulate enough Advisors.

Smaug the Impenetrable

Aug 15, 2026

A group of adventurers hear a tale of a mountain filled with treasure. What awaits them instead is Smaug, a dragon hibernating in his hoard. When Smaug awakens, he punishes the plunderers with dragonfire, then takes to the skies to remind the world of his terror. Play small outlaws to generate Treasure, then use that Treasure to ramp into Smaug. Cards like The Sackville-Bagginses and Hedron Detonator help whittle down your opponent's life totals, while the Fight spells help generate more Treasure by abusing Smaug's Indestructible. Wincons include Crackle With Power, Revel in Riches, Murkwood Bats (and similar effects), and Smaug himself. Wanted to include The Last Agni Kai but it would need a Universe Within reprint.

The Great Goblin

Aug 15, 2026

This Hobbit Rakdos Precon turns the encounter with the armies of Goblin Town into a ruthless value engine, growing your creatures with counters, pinging opponents, and sacrificing The Great Goblins loyal subjects to gain advantages and win the game. I kept the overall price of the deck decently priced for a precon that shouldn't be no more than $50 MSRP and added some cards I'd like to see added to precons like legendary lands and surveil lands and cards from other precons and sets that dont have alot of printings.

Smaug the Magnificent

Aug 15, 2026

Hobbit Precon - [[Smaug the Magnificent]] Mono-Red Dragons and Treasures. This deck aims to generate a large amount of Treasure tokens, strengthening Smaug's attack trigger to remove key threats and burn down opponents, while also leaning into the Dragon creature type as a subtheme. It features Dragon cards that either generate or benefit from Treasures, such as [[Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge]] and [[Goldspan Dragon]]; cards that generate Treasure tokens and synergize with Treasure like [[Xorn]] and [[Alchemist's Talent]]; and cards that synergize with Dragons like [[Desolation of Smaug]] and [[Dragon Tempest]]. [[Hellkite Tyrant]] serves as a thematic alternative win condition. Cards from sets not in the Middle Earth setting would be given updated art and potentially given Flavor Names, as is often done for UB precons, such as [[Tome of Legends]] to "Bilbo's Book". Total card value is kept at roughly the $150 range including the Commander, and the deck aims to be at the Bracket 2 Precon level, with no Gamechangers or infinite combos.

Bard, King of Dale

Aug 15, 2026

A commander deck comprised of only Universes Beyond The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings sets and commander cards. Using Bard, King of Dale as the commander, crafted with both lore and functionality in mind, this deck plays like most recent pre-cons with some awesome synergy utilizing card draw and token production to give you massive card advantage to overwhelm your opponents. So take up arms Lake-town, stand in bravery against our enemies, for today we make our Last Stand!

Smaug, Wicked Worm

Aug 15, 2026

I believe Smaug is a fair commander precon that can get out of control with the right upgrades. This deck is about the greed for gold and the power/demise that comes with it. Also precons should have: - A least 1 good land: Luxury Suit - Value cards: 6 cards > 5 dollars - Possibilty for fun: Blast-Furnance H. and Deep Shaker Titan - Weird Side Commander: The Balrog

Bard, King of Dale

Aug 15, 2026

This precon is based around the recruit mechanic (draw and human tokens) by going wide. I tried to stick with only Middle-earth and in-universe sets. Bard felt like a worthy precon face commander, especially with all of the cool "when you draw your second card" creatures from the Hobbit/LotR sets. I have a small splash of bird creatures to get a bit of flying in the deck, but the main strategy is drawing your deck and winning with card advantage and your wide field of tokens.

Smaug, Wicked Worm

Aug 15, 2026

This deck is very simple, you make a lot of treasures and try to use them to kill your opponents. I figured that if they made precons they absolutely would have to make one based on Smaug and I love the theme of possibly killing yourself by losing too much life for value. I tried to keep it around precon singles prices for universes beyond decks. Whether this wins or not ill be trying it out with my local play group (putting some more money into the land base of course, or proxies)

Oh no! Radagast has wandered away again, but this time he has lost all of his green creatures and finds himself in a desolate wasteland, void of color and life. It's a good thing he learned the spell to produce colorless mana so he can meet some shiny new friends who can improve his effectiveness, utilize all that extra mana, and destroy anyone who stands in the way. Maybe he isn't so lost after all.

"What has roots as nobody sees, is taller than trees, up, up it goes, and yet never grows?" Answer: Your opponents trying to figure out how to cast spells without giving you free cards. This deck turns Commander night into Gollum’s treacherous game of riddles. Drop Gollum early, make your opponents guess between Odd and Even, and tax their favorite mana curves. When Gollum runs out of answers, don't pay Commander Tax—just kill him, flicker him, or throw him in the dark, only for him to crawl right back out fresh, reset, and demanding another answer.

Aug 14, 2026

Reclaiming Dale is a Humans and Soldiers deck built around Bard, King of Dale’s ability to double both card draw and token production. The deck uses Recruit, “draw your second card” payoffs, and steady token generation to rebuild Dale’s army and overwhelm opponents through combat. Bard, Heir of Girion is a second, optional commander for this deck. This option offers a more "aggro" playstyle than the value engine you get from Bard, King of Dale. Both are very viable and fun options for this deck that pay tribute to the legendary novel by J. R. R. Tolkien.

Many instants and sorceries represent key points in the story such as Bilbo's Surge of Brilliance with the riddle and the Moment of Truth when taking down Smaug with the black arrow. Multiple objects of note also appear in the list such as the Tome of Legends Bilbo wrote about his adventures and the Mystic Forge of the Dwarves. The land base has Smaug's Treasure Vault and Secret Passage to represent Bilbo's escape from the lonely mountain. My intention was that I could think of a passage from the book as flavor text for each and every include, while preserving a burglar-themed play style.

Every death brings you closer to victory. Raise armies from the darkness, sacrifice your minions for power, and turn the fallen into fuel for an even greater assault. Let your creatures die without fear — for in Azog's army, death is merely another weapon. Reclaim your fallen warriors from the graveyard, swarm the battlefield with Orcs and Goblins, and overwhelm your enemies beneath the unstoppable tide of the Dark Lord's servants.

"It may have been only a trick of the wind in the cracks and gullies of the rocky wall, but the sounds were those of shrill cries, and Wild Howls of laughter." || This preconstructed The Hobbit commander deck embodies the unglorified yet distinct challenges that face Bilbo and company in their travels through the wilderness. As they make their way to the Lonely Mountain, snarling wolves, hungry trolls, giant spiders, and more linger in the darkness. The cards in this deck represent steps on Bilbo's fateful journey, each one a reminder of the quiet danger lurking ahead. || Tom, Bert, and William lead the way as a power-matters draw engine supporting a creature-based deck focused on building a solid and resilient board and winning incrementally through combat. The deck has a strong Wolf typal subtheme, featuring iconic cards like Chief of the Wilds and Nightpack Ambusher, as well as a smattering of trolls, spiders, and bears. Play creatures, become the Wilds, and show your opponents the treacherous path ahead when they choose the road less traveled!

Go big with the Chief and go wide with all your wolf token generators which make the Chief even thicker. I put some battles in there for the flavor but they aren't really THAT useful. The finishers are cards like Beastmaster Ascension or Overwhelming Stampede but with how many +1/+1 counters you put oh Chief you can easily kill some players with commander damage ALONE. Early game plan is to get a token generator such as Chief Warg's Company or Head of the Hunt and have the Chief out to get those JUICY +1/+1 counters. If you want a more card draw focus deck you can chang the comander to The Chief Warg which will make it so you can end up drawing a metric ton if you get cards on the field like Beastmaster Ascension or Door of Destinies which at that point its just a go wide. I hope whoever uses this deck has as much fun playing it as I did making it. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS PROFESSOR

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.

"But your way through Mirkwood is dark, dangerous and difficult," he said. "Water is not easy to find there, nor food. In there the wild things are dark, queer, and savage" - Beorn, The Hobbit. "The Howls Came from Mirkwood" is such a dark, queer, and savage Golgari Commander deck inspired by the Wargs and other fell creatures of Middle-earth (perfect with wolves having some great creatures this set). Wolves and Wargs form the heart of the deck (and the occasional Changeling), growing in number and strength as the game progresses. This Precon was designed using Prof's decks as models, and was crafted to give new players valuable cards for their money while staying under the price point of the most expensive Hobbit Precon deck on the TCC Channel (Goblin Horde). The kindred synergies combined with recent Hobbit release cards makes this a fun deck to play that can consistently go wide, draw cards, and buff up creatures with tons of counters, allowing the player to have several outs. Just like Azog in the Hobbit film trilogy, in defeat your opponents are going to try and forget that this white wolf commander card exists.

Aug 14, 2026

Deep beneath the High Pass, in the reeking tunnels of Goblin-town, the Great Goblin and his swarm held the company captive. Then the lights went out, a sword flashed in the dark, and Gandalf the Grey struck. This mono-red deck is that moment made permanent. Every noncreature spell is a flare of wizard-fire or a stroke of Glamdring in the black halls under the mountains. As the spells fly, Gandalf grows stronger and the goblins (and everyone else) burn with him. Rituals fuel the sudden assault, cantrips and impulse draws keep the pressure relentless, and board-wipes like Blasphemous Act recreate the chaos that once scattered the goblin horde. Cards such as Burn, Burn, Tree and Fern echo the very songs the goblins sang before Gandalf answered them with flame. This is not the quiet wanderer of Bag End. This is the wizard who walked into Goblin-town, slew its king, and led the company out through fire and shadow. When the tunnels close in and the enemy multiplies…
Fly, you fools.

The bigger the creature, the more cards Tom gets to draw, while everything that gets eaten ends up in the graveyard, making the next creatures stronger and giving the Trolls plenty of ways to bring old meals back for seconds. The longer they stay in the forest, the more dangerous the dinner table gets. So come on in, pull up a chair… just be careful you don't end up as the main course.

Gollum, Riddle Master

Aug 14, 2026

A buffet of Goblins, endless tunnels to explore, and the pensive solitude needed to devise riddles and contemplate murder. This deck explores the idyllic life of Gollum within the depths of the Misty Mountains before Bilbo came and ruined everything. This deck is designed to sacrifice goblins and other delectable creatures for food and treasure while scrounging through your opponents hands and graveyards when necessary. It can be upgraded to be competitive with cards like Warren Soul-Trader or Ashnod's Altar though works well as is. Gollum is nothing if not resourceful... except maybe hungry. No Sol Ring Ring you say? Gollum only has eyes for one ring and one ring only!

Game plan: Many triggers from drawing 2 cards in a turn. Plenty of ways to cause self to draw 2 cards in a turn. Sometimes opponent(s) draw as a by-product. Upgrade paths: Gleaming Splendor (make better use of opponents drawing cards) Walking Ballista (Good target for +1/+1 counters that come from Bard the Bowman and Lyla, Holographic Assistant) The Ozolith (recover +1/+1 counters from creatures that die)

Great Goblin, Foul-Hearted & The Great Goblin

Aug 14, 2026

Krenko's command was "go wide". The Great Goblin eschews this philosophy. Through collective effort, the army of the Great Goblin grows tall and leaves the field of battle burning in its wake. This precon is designed to explore a different take on goblin kindred. Instead of go-wide and self-sacrifice focus, this precon focuses on a single large creature and counters synergies. The deck builds a single tall army and gives it keywords like trample, deathtouch, lifelink, and menace to get through for damage. The secondary theme is cards that burn your opponents and their creatures based on the size of your army and the counters added to your creatures. The deck leaves out some of the obvious includes from the Hobbit set (such as Bolg and his company) for beginner friendly upgrade paths. Either version of the Great Goblin can be the commander. "The Great Goblin" from HOB and "Great Goblin, Foul-Hearted" from HOC. Precon Deck Box Tagline: "Amass a Goblin Army" // "Burn the Field of Battle" Estimated Deck Singles Price based on cheapest versions is $134 at time of publication. Manapool is displaying the price based on more recent and expensive versions of cards, like the dwarven language Arcane Signet.

This deck is designed to trigger all 3 of Belladonna's (Pippin's great-great-aunt and Bilbo's mother) abilities as many times as possible, and then overrun the opponents with a both wide and tall board of mostly tokens. It's got some flash enablers, some solid instants that make tokens, and cycle and blink subthemes to help make tokens on your opponents turns. All the protection and removal makes tokens, and everything either makes tokens or cares about tokens entering.

Bilbo, Thief in the Night

Aug 14, 2026

Bilbo returns from his adventure...and has to get his mathoms back...from the graveyard. The deck tries to make use of Bilbo's cost reducing ability by casting artifacts from the graveyard or the top of the library. The goal is to build an artifact engine by sacrificing and recasting them from the graveyard (one drops for free)...until Bilbo deals enough commanderdamage or another finisher like Broodstar or Excalibur comes along. Protecting and equiping Bilbo and making him unblockable is a key element of the strategy, as is filling your graveyard with cards to resurrect. Additional cost reducers and mana dorks should make activating tons of artifact abilities over and over again affordable. 3 Cards with land-cycling support both the landdrops and filling the graveyard. Some flavour-cards like the One Ring or Mithril Coat are unfortunately to pricy for a "Precon Deck", but which "mathoms" or printings you decide to exchange in the deck, is totally up to you. And if there's not enough adventure already, additional adventure cards also benefit from Bilbo's ability.

Tom, Bert, and William

Aug 14, 2026

A lost Hobbit precon built around one simple idea: **the trolls are hungry**. Tom, Bert, and William turn oversized creatures into card advantage, while the rest of the deck leans into Food, sacrifice, and graveyard recursion to keep the feast going. Cards like **Gluttonous Troll, Feasting Troll King, Daemogoth Titan, Yargle and Multani, and Mossbridge Troll** provide suitably enormous meals, while **Bilbo, Fellow Conspirator, Peregrin Took, Gyome, Master Chef, Academy Manufactor, and Trail of Crumbs** build out the Food engine. There are also a few deliberately flavorful tricks. **Xenic Poltergeist** and **Lifecraft Awakening** can help bring Tom, Bert, and William back into the action after they’ve been turned to stone, while **Living Death** and **Victimize** let the trolls’ victims return for another course. The deck is intentionally built for **Bracket 2**: synergistic and splashy, but without fast mana packages, tutors, or compact infinite combos. The goal is to feel like a real missing Hobbit precon: play big creatures, make far too much Food, eat everything in sight, and eventually overwhelm the table with a very unexpected feast.

Bard the Bowman

Aug 14, 2026

I have made a deck list that focuses on mostly being humans, from Tales of middle earth, The Hobbit and my personal favorite plane Innistrad. I tried to focus on making the deck as if it was a pre-con, and yes i know Bard the Bowman is a uncommon but i like him as the commander and the other 2 Bards as just part of the 99. I plan to build Bard the Bowman as my newest commander deck to play with next Friday with my play group and I just cant wait to play with him. I had a lot of fun building this deck list as a pre-con, hope you like it.

Bilbo, Thief in the Night

Aug 14, 2026

This Adventure-focused Bilbo, Thief in the Night Commander deck is a deck that heavily uses the "Adventure" mechanic to gain extra value out of every card. By utilizing Bilbo's ability to reduce the generic mana costs of spells cast from anywhere other than your hand, the deck casts flexible Adventure instants and sorceries dynamically in response to threats. Once resolved, those cards sit safely in exile until you cast them a second time as creatures.

Smaug, Wicked Worm

Aug 14, 2026

In this deck, Smaug not only hoards treasure but shares the wealth, if only to benefit himself even more. This deck aims to maximize the abilities of it's commander: Smaug, Wicked Worm by adding a group hug-like twist to it's strategy. Multiple cards in this deck give opponents artifacts in exchange for benefits like treasure and land. Once opponents are stocked with artifacts, Smaug flies in making even more treasure for each artifact they control. You may think this happens only once until someone kills him (which is less likely when he has a powerful entrance ability) but with a combination of sacrifice outlets and returning him to the battlefield upon death, Smaug's entrance ability can be repeated for as little as 2 mana. Now, having a bountiful treasure trove might be nice but will not win the game ... unless Hellkite Tyrant or Revel in Riches is on the battlefield on upkeep, then they do exactly that. Additionally, if Smaug the Magnificent is able to attack, treasures are turned into damage without even sacrificing them. If the player cannot afford to wait until upkeep or to draw one of these cards, a large sum of damage can be produced by sacrificing many treasures. Cards like Mirkwood Bats and Nadier's Nightblade followed by sacrificing a bunch of treasures (even if there's nothing to spend them on) can be game winning, with even more options for a singular opponent to take such damage. This deck aims to maintain a budget of a precon before it is printed as a precon which based on examples is ~$170. When I made the deck it claimed to cost less than $170 but when I imported it here, even with swapping out card versions I could not get it much lower than $200. (Also, the irony is not lost on me that a treasure themed deck is meant to be "budget" in real life.)

Radagast of Rhosgobel

Aug 13, 2026

This decks inspirations comes from an old Yeva deck I used when I first started play commander. This deck has the ability to play at instant speed which enables for wide degrees of flexibility based on what your opponents want to do. We will be focusing on ETB effects, unique combat interactions, a degree of deathtouching, and big ole beasties that little Timmy would love. There are two back up commanders of Beorn and Yeva who you could also run. PHASE 1: My philosophy with the early game of this decks is to run deathtouching mana dorks which can be either flashed in to surprise opponents or be used for bringing out other big beasties. We do include the normal array of mana dorks such Elvish Mystic and Llanowar elves to still provide some early acceleration. Included in that acceleration are standard ramps cards of Cultivate, Khalani, and Kodama reach to get even more of a foothold. Now there are some interesting pieces like Troop of ponies and Ornithopter of paradise that once Radaghast hits the board will be treated free pieces of ramp. Don’t forget that seedborn muse, wilderness reclamation, and Defiler of Vigor are going to be are strongest engines of effectively playing four turns. PHASE 2: Now we are moving into the mid-game and here is where deck truly shines. We run up to about 9 to 10 pieces of card draw in our deck, so as to make sure you will never run out of gas. Not mention we have 2 pieces of scrying when creature enters so we will be able filter the top while drawing tons of cards! It is also important to mention we do run some combat tricky minions like hornet nest (Hornet Queen of which pull an unholy amount of deathtouch) and Diamond Weapon which prevents combat damage dealt him, which make him Dholems gate. Furthermore there some hydras in the deck that benefit from Radaghast effect to give free +1/+1, (Genesis to do some digging and Hooded Hydra to create blockers in snap moment). PHASE 3: Now for the end game we are going to be running standard big dumb creatures like Apex Devastator (of which can be played defensively on somebodies turn if you need a Hail Mary off the top,) either one of our overrun like effects, and finally God Eternal Rhonas. Rhonas is arguably one of strongest effects in the deck that proceeds to double the stats on our board, although typically we are going to use this to run people over, we can use this more defensively to try stand taller than your opponents. Some big dumb creatures of note that will generate a lot of value will be Silverback Elder, Vigor, and Thorn Mammoth. Each have independent purposes of being mostly used for removal (thorn mammoth) or making our creatures semi-indestructible (Vigor,) or in the case Silverback Elder digging for more creatures to play. Finally we arrive at some our biggest payoffs for playing big stuff: Dancing from Dark to Dawn giving us big +1/+1 counters while creating bears from lands and Kodama of the East Tree giving free big creature of the cmc of the card we play. Final piece of advice is not forgetting you can play Thrasta for almost free if you choose flash him in at the end of somebodies turn because he also counts opponent spells. I should mention this is my first deck tech I have ever written to dig Into me too bad

Galadriel, Light of Valinor

Aug 13, 2026

This deck blends Elf tribal, go-wide token production, +1/+1 counters, and enchantment-based support. Elves generate mana and flood the battlefield, while cards like Beastmaster Ascension, Kindred Discovery, Beast Whisperer, and Simic Ascendancy turn that growing army into overwhelming power and alternative ways to win. A major goal in building the deck was featuring as much art by Rebecca Guay, my favorite MTG artist, as possible. I hope it gives the deck a dreamlike, “ancient world” feel to anyone who uses it. Supporting this are several themed cards that, while not as potent, feel right at home with Galadriel's book characterization.

The Master of Lake-town

Aug 13, 2026

One person's loss is another person's treasure! The Master of Lake-town has never been one to waste an opportunity—and neither should you. The Greedy Master is a mono-black sacrifice and graveyard deck built around turning your opponents' losses into your own riches. Mill their libraries, sacrifice creatures, drain their life totals, and put everything in their graveyards to work for you. Steal it. Sacrifice it. Profit. With The Master of Lake-town leading the way, every death and every point of life lost can become another resource, while creatures like Gollum, Gríma Wormtongue, The Sackville-Bagginses, and Witch-king of Angmar keep the value flowing. And when the graveyards are full? Take the best creatures available to keep your engine thrummin' - reanimate them, sacrifice them, and turn their losses into even more cards, Treasure, and pain. The Greedy Master is all about stacking small advantages every turn until every sacrifice becomes prime fuel for his engine and every opponent's loss becomes your gain. After all, if someone was foolish enough to put their own resources into the graveyard, why shouldn't you profit?!

Past the last farm and the fords of the Carrock, the Wilderland belongs to things with teeth. The Wild is a pack deck built on ferocious: get one creature to power 4 and the whole kennel wakes up, drawing you a card every time The Chief Warg swings. The +1/+1 counters are the ignition, not the payoff — Dancing from Dark to Dawn and Beorn's Hospitality feed the pack while Chief of the Wilds doubles every Wolf trigger you control. Then Beorn the Fierce changes their skin, turning your wargs into Bears that hit for two more apiece. Feed the pack until it's the largest thing in the forest, then let it off the leash.

The Great Goblin

Aug 13, 2026

Hobbit precon focusing on amassing goblin armies, aggressively swinging with anthems and self sacrificing to trigger carddraw/damaging abilities. Bolg, Erebor's Reckoning is the alt commander that would focus more towards the anthem swings, and since he has a higher cost I wanted to get some mana generating spells into the deck to mayhaps get him out faster or just to build the board faster with a large amount of 2-3 drops. In precon spirit i kept it to bracket 2, and wanted to keep it closer to 100 dollars which I believe can be done depending on the price fluctuations. I also wanted to have around 1/4 of the deck from the hobbit set and a salt level that isn't to high. I also wanted to try to keep Krenko out, there are after all a lot of other beautiful goblins out there.

Bard the Bowman

Aug 13, 2026

***NOTE: I built decks with german card prices in mind. This deck has a total value of 95€ in Germany which is 40€ below the usual Euro deck value of precons. Also: There was NO AI used in the process of building this deck. I think I should mention this, cuz AI deckbuilding is a thing sadly.*** Bard is inherently a commander which is on the weaker side. The reason being that, compared to most modern commander designs, it's more of a sealed / draft card. But I saw this as a challenge to try to make something cool around it and I think this deck actually turned out pretty decent. The plan of this deck is simple: Draw cards, pump creatures. To accomplish this plan, there are a lot of cheap creatures and spells to draw either 1 card to assist the second card draw during our own turn or to draw 2-3 cards on an enemy's turn to get some additional triggers. Creatures like "Dusk Legion Duelist", "Generous Pup" and "Exemplar of Light" turn the +1 counters Bard places into further card draw and buffs, which can result in even more damage. Cards like "Scrawling Crawler" and "Psychosis Crawler" help with continuous damage across all opponents. I also took into account possible reprints to go along with this Commander Deck if it actually were to be printed. Some obvious choiced are the afformentioned "Scrawling Crawler", the fan favorite "Ledger Shredder" and "Minn, Willy Illusionist" which is a great card to support having a wide deck to eat up incoming damage. But Minn also feeds into the second kinda strategy this deck has: Tokens. Aside from Minn, "Alandra, Sky Dreamer", "Detective of the Month" and "Emrakul's Messenger" provide tokens for both ramp and protection. Or, in the end, to overrun the enemy. I am a huge fan of the classic two-stretegy Commander deck design, so I had to implement it here too. A few other favorite cards of mine for this deck are: ᛫"Herald of Secret Streams" which enables powerful overruns in combination with the Pup or maybe even allow to kill someone with commander damage once in a while; ᛫"Talrand, Sky Summoner", who doesn't inherently look like a great choice in here, but the amount of noncreature spells allows for explosive drake-creation which, in combination with Alandra, is able to finish games quickly; ᛫"Copycrook", which allows for even more cards to be seen through and for some other cards to gain a huge buff and; ᛫"Chasm Skulker", which can burst into a lotta little baby squids, we love little baby squids. And they'll probably also kill our enemies or draw us a lotta more cards with "Flitterwing, Nuisance" All in all, I think this is a really fun commander deck. Nothing nearly bracket 3 ready, but fun in a bracket 2 pod which precons should be in. *Prof, there are Merfolks in here, cmon*

Smaug, Wicked Worm

Aug 13, 2026

Under the mountain lies the mighty, the golden, his magnificence in scaled glory, the King Under the Mountain, Smaug! In this pre-con, use treasures to stock a horde and use to devastate your foes with your slew of powerful spells! Work your minions and horde to your favour with a slew of artifacts at your disposal and if possible, steal all of theirs for a satisfying victory! Note: There is an alt-win con in Hellkite Tyrant, it was between that and Revel and I think Hellkite fits better of just *taking* all their stuff. As well as there is a single infinite with Bladewing the Risen and Cursed Mirror. They both felt good fits and they don't auto win you the game without other set up, so it felt reasonable to leave in. Otherwise, my take on a hobbit precon! I also limited my deck building to ONLY taking cards from either the Hobbit, LTR or MTG itself and no other UB. If the card like Brainstealer had another printing besides in a UB, a-okay like WOTC would make their own Commander decks.

Great Goblin, Foul-Hearted

Aug 13, 2026

Deckbuilding/Philosophy: I decided to go with Great Goblin, Foul Hearted as the commander, and kept things under $180 for the added challenge. The deck is built to play like an Army-themed precon, with Amass keyword cards being the backbone, and other +1/+1 counter synergy (e.g. Uncivil Unrest) sprinkled in for added support. About the Deck: We are heavy on the army theme, with some spot removal (Chaos Warp, Vandalblast, Blasphemous Act, etc.) to support. We also are running Archetype of Finality and Archetype of Aggression as keyword enablers for the rest of our build. The deck can play as a go wide or go tall strategy (Fling the army, etc.) Outside of the inclusion of Orcish Bowmasters, there are no gamechangers included to keep it at a low bracket 3, like most precon decks. There is only one potential arbitrary combo, Fall of Cair Andros and Blasphemous Act which is mid-to-late game. The main focus, however is not arbitrarily building up the army, but methodically making it a force to be reckoned with. I chose to keep the landbase fairly budget, as this is designed to emulate a precon and not go all-out. Hope y'all enjoy the deck!

The Sackville-Bagginses

Aug 13, 2026

The Sackville-Bagginses is a commander built around tokens, sacrifice / aristocrats. The deck runs 25 creatures, 8 mana rocks, 15 instant/sorcery effects, and 36 lands. tokens Game plan Early (turns 1-3): Drop ramp pieces and a land every turn. With 8 mana rocks plus ramp lands, you should be casting The Sackville-Bagginses on turn 3-4 reliably. Mid (turns 4-6): flood the board with tokens. Late (turns 7+): go wide and finish through anthems / overrun effects. Protect the play with your interaction. Mulligan guide Aim for 3-4 lands in your opening 7. With 36 lands and 8 rocks, fewer than 3 mana sources is usually a mulligan. A turn-1 or turn-2 mana rock is a strong keep — it gets The Sackville-Bagginses out a turn early. Token-makers and anthems in the opener let you build a board fast. Key cards to look for Marionette Master Shambling Ghast Treasure Dredger Bloodghast Undercity Scrounger Gray Merchant of Asphodel

Thorin, King of Durin's Folk

Aug 13, 2026

"Forged in Stone" is a Boros Dwarf-themed Commander deck led by Thorin, King of Durin's Folk. It is built around assembling Thorin's Company, forging powerful Equipment, and using Treasure to reclaim the Lonely Mountain. Thorin rewards you for building a united fellowship of Dwarves, turning your legendary heroes and artifacts into an army worthy of the Kingdom Under the Mountain. Along the way, iconic characters, locations, and events from The Hobbit recreate the journey from Bag End to Erebor, where courage, loyalty, and perseverance are rewarded. The result is a flavorful, story-driven precon-style deck that captures the heart of Thorin's quest while offering a cohesive tribal strategy centered on Dwarves, Equipment, and Treasure. Designed for Bracket 2 play, Forged in Stone contains no Game Changers and aims for the power level and gameplay experience of a modern preconstructed Commander deck.

Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff

Aug 13, 2026

Want to win with a pile of Treasure? Want to get greedy and spend all of it on a huge spell instead? Or would you rather let the Ring do the work? Welcome to Treasures and Temptation, an Orzhov Hobbit deck led by Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff, using his new printing from The Hobbit. The plan is to let Lotho and the rest of your Treasure-makers build up your mana while you decide how you actually want to win the game. Stockpile ten Treasures and let Revel in Riches end it, sacrifice and spend those Treasures to trigger your drain effects, or turn all that extra mana into one of your big finishers. If the Treasure plan is not getting there, start letting the Ring tempt you and work toward Frodo, Sauron's Bane. Once Frodo is ready, use the built-in evasion to get him through for the game-ending hit. This deck is designed for multiple play patterns to keep things fresh. The point is to make Treasure, see what your opponents are doing, and decide which win condition gives you the best path forward. The deck is designed as a solid Bracket 2 precon-style deck and contains no Game Changers. The first few turns are about looking harmless while setting up mana, Lotho, and whichever half of the deck your opening hand supports. Ideally, you want three mana with both colors, a way to make or benefit from Treasure, and either interaction or a Ring temptation card. Lotho does most of his best work by simply sitting on the battlefield and letting everyone else play Magic, so there is usually no reason to rush into looking threatening. Once the Treasure starts piling up, decide what kind of game you are actually playing. If opponents are leaving you alone, keep banking Treasure and work toward Revel in Riches, a large Exsanguinate/Debt to the Deathless, or one of the artifact-sacrifice drain engines. If the table starts noticing what you are doing, Ghostly Prison, Windborn Muse, and Dain, Lord of the Iron Hills are there to make attacking you annoying enough that everyone hopefully finds a cheaper target. The other route is Frodo, Sauron's Bane. Let the Ring tempt you throughout the game rather than trying to force all four temptations immediately. Once Frodo is fully online, Rogue's Passage, Access Tunnel, Whispersilk Cloak, and the Ring's own evasion can turn him into a very real threat to eliminate a player in one hit. The important part is not to commit too early. Treasure is mana, removal, damage, and sometimes the win condition itself, so spend it only when it moves you closer to ending the game or stops someone else from doing so first. Sometimes you win because you hoarded the gold. Sometimes you win because you spent all of it. And sometimes everyone watches the Treasure pile so closely that a Hobbit carrying a Ring quietly walks right past them. DECKBUILDER'S NOTE: I tried to write this in a way that sounds like official promotional material for an official deck. I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for your consideration.

Thranduil the Strategist

Aug 13, 2026

This is an elf tribal deck, with a go wide strategy with a landfall subtheme. The creatures are all staples in an elf deck to build a collection and to stay on theme with Thranduil's isolationist views. Added a few woodland/river creatures that Thranduil's elves would be peaceful with and they stay on theme with the landfall strategy. Minus Thranduil the deck stays priced in a precon range and the deck gives a few ways to win that can change gameplay up. Main strategy is going wide, with a few ways to protect your elves from board wipes. If you're set back by board wipes there are many landfall and draw effects that can help get your board rebuilt or get you ahead on cards. Added doppelganger as a fun way to close out a game by either making tons of landfall triggers or copying elf lords like archdruid or other disgusting things, the world is your oyster with that card. Deck is straightforward like a normal precon deck and also gives new players a good elf collection to start off with, plus great landfall staples in any lands matter deck.

Beorn the Fierce

Aug 13, 2026

🐻Bears — Beorn + Lumra, Bellow of the Woods as the hidden sub-commander and the big-money reprint of the precon. Changelings (like Realmwalker, Chomping Changeling, and Mutable Explorer) count as Bears, so they help you hit that three-Bear threshold and trigger Beorn's draw effect more reliably. 🥕 Beets — Food Tokens. Cards like Peregrin Took, Tireless Provisioner, Killer Service, and Night of the Sweets' Revenge churn out Food tokens. You can sacrifice them with Rampage of the Clans to destroy all artifacts and enchantments and replace each one with a 3/3 Centaur (insert the FMA handshake meme between beorn and a centaur) Or use Night of the Sweets' Revenge to pump your army of Bears, produced by cards like Rampage of the Clans and Dancing from Dark to Dawn. 🚀Battlestar Galactica — Vehicles & Spacecrafs turns Bears into pilots. Hedge Shredder, Mole Module, and Necron Monolith mill lands into your graveyard on attack, fueling your landfall triggers and pumping Lumra's power. Exploration Broodship and Larval Scoutlander sacrifice lands or Landers to ramp and play extra lands, while Lifecraft Engine turns your whole crew into one shared creature type so every Bear gets pumped. 🤝 Rule Zero Ask or bribe your playgroup to rule zero Recyclops, Eco-friendly as Assistant to the Regional BEARanger.

Thranduil the Strategist & Thranduil, Sindarin Liege // Silvan Rally

Aug 13, 2026

NOTE: Thranduil, Sindarin Liege is the Face Commander and Thranduil the Strategist is the Backup Commander. There is something foul in Southern Mirkwood and King Thranduil beseeches The White Council to investigate the Necromancer of Dol Guldur. Use the members of The White Council, elves throughout the Blind Eternities, and their allies to stop the amassing armies. Go wide and finish the game with tons of elven warriors, overrun your opponents, or fly over your enemies. Using the cheapest printing of all cards without the Commanders is $230~. I have also added a $50 upgrade below. The total value does not account for shipping/taxes/fluctuation in prices. 10 card/$50 Upgrade list: Invasion of Ikoria // Zilortha, Apex of Power, Adrix and Nev, Twincasters, Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait, Horizon Explorer, Ohran Frostfang, Tatyova, Benthic Druid, Triskaidekaphile, Overwhelming Stampede, Heroic Intervention, Druid Class

Chief of the Wilds

Aug 13, 2026

"Not all [Sauron's] servants and chattels are wraiths! There are orcs and trolls, there are wargs and werewolves" (Gandalf; FR, "Many Meetings") Though I wish it were in Jund, I am in love with the Chief of the Wilds and it meets all my needs for a great wolf deck. I had initially done this is euros and at 150€ I had originally had parallel lives and doubling season, as I think they would benefit greatly from a precon reprint, and support a lot of the weakness wolves have without red involved, but swapped it out for branching evolution and hardened scales to match more of the dollar amount (reading $153 on arkidect). I also considered sphere grid but I think there should be an in universe version of that. The Chief Warg is a nice alternative commander as a lot of the deck does also mix well with ferocious (and until battle of five armies, Chief of the wilds is going to be expensive). I wanted to focus on theme for how intelligent and cruel the wargs are and leant into a lot of appropriate cards, such as cover of darkness and lurking predators, to really give the impression of the wargs ambushing the good guys in the forests.

Tom, Bert, and William

Aug 13, 2026

As a draw engine, Tom, Bert, and William is fantastic. However, this commander really shines as a discard enabler. Rather than focusing on sacrificing big creatures for cards (which this deck can also do through anticausal vestige, and daemogoth titan), my build focuses on sac'ing little creatures (i.e. bitterbloom bearer faeries, pests) to enable madness shenanigans (shadowgrange archfiend, emrakul, necrogoyf, etc). This is supported with a witherbloom lifegain/aristocrats shell and a few ways to pump for maximum card draw in dire situations like berserk. Be careful not to bicker too long with your playgroup before you turn to stone because Tom, Bert, and William will get to your opponents's hands and life totals quicker than they snatched up Bilbo!

Chief of the Wilds

Aug 13, 2026

I think the power level is a bit lower than yours but i orientated on the Starter Commander decks from 2022 a bit over the budget cavern of souls as tribal card / noteable reprint or cut it and add a forest if it would because of some Wizards reasoning Damnation is gotten up in price but the normal black moon printing would fit nice Beastmaster Ascension with wolf art is also expinsive because its an secret lair art Tenacious Pup the price of this is fluctuating so much and i also wont choose the Innistrad black white treatment

Beorn the Fierce

Aug 13, 2026

Beorn collects a bevvy of bears to battle, and seek vengance against, the orcs and goblins. This precon has everything a mono-green decks needs. Bears, ramp, more bears, big finishers, big creatures, MORE BEARS, and creatures that aren't bears, yet. The gameplan is simple, play bears, turn non-bears into bears, and make bears bigger. This deck was built with a pre-con power level in mind and doesn't use any cards that couldn't feasibly found within the world of The Hobbit, as such most named cards have been intentionally left off the deck list. This deck also omits any prohibitively expensive cards, because why would pre-con contain valuable cards when WOTC can just print more Collector boosters...

Draw your 2nd card, build your army Follow bard's journey as you out draw your opponents and recruit an army. A blue white 2nd draw deck with sub themes of recruit and human/ soldier matters. I used all the recruit cards as possible to keep the sub theme, as the initial idea of this deck would be the one that shows off the new mechanic, however after putting all the cards with recruit in I changed the main mechanic to be about drawing two cards as the commander enables it well

Use Enter the Battlefield triggers and board wide protections to foil your opponents plans and continue the expansion of your field. Beorn the Fierce acts as a secondary commander to turn your creatures into bears to boost them, and then draw cards.

Chief of the Wilds

Aug 13, 2026

Let your hunger flow and overwhelm your opponents boards with the power of the pack! Never let your enemies know which angle your attacking from as your wolves count as unblocked as you complete battles such as Invasion of Ikoria//Zilortha, Apex of Ikoria or use clever abilities such as Lone Wolf or any trample wolf to deal enough damage to unlock powerful effects. Close out games quickly with Beast Master Ascension or Swing for Lethal commander damage from your super pumped up Chief of the Wilds or swap to the decks alternate commander The Chief Warg for card draw supremacy and focus on Ferocious. A potential powerful inclusion would be Mirkwood Bats as the decks subtheme is wolf token generation but this was sideboarded for potential power balance uncertainty. Sideboard includes suggested upgrades that would make this deck pop off! SIDEBOARD: 1 Archdruid's Charm 1 Chronicle of Victory 1 Garruk's Uprising 1 Germination Practicum 1 Howling Moon 1 Howlpack Resurgence 1 Mandate of Abaddon 1 Mirkwood Bats 1 Patriarch's Bidding 1 Primal Adversary 1 Raised by Wolves 1 Ranger Class 1 Slippery Bogbonder 1 Springleaf Parade 1 Vona's Hunger 1 Wolfbriar Elemental 1 Wolfir Silverheart

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:)

Chief of the Wilds

Aug 13, 2026

One of the five armies during the war of the five armies. Staying as close to the theme of the LotR as possible. The goal is to keep triggering the etb effect of the commander. Making your warg/wolf army wide with a huge commander.

Chief of the Wilds

A wolf tribal deck, center around making wolf tokens, and with their commander trigger additionnal times. With mostly neutral or Lotr card give the feeling of leading a pack of vicious wargs in middle earth to track your opponents.

Bilbo, Fellow Conspirator

Aug 13, 2026

This mono green food deck puts the hobbit in well... The Hobbit! With Bilbo, Fellow Conspirator your food tokens accelerate your game plan by ramping you additional treasure. This pairs exceptionally well with other token enhancers like Academy Manufactor and Peregrin Took to create piles of tokens! These tokens can then generate even more mana with cards like Jaheira, Friend of the Forest, Bag End Banquet and Night of the Sweets' Revenge. Now you may be thinking what am I going to do with all this mana? and How will I win the game? Well With a decent board state, finishers like Overwhelming Stampede, Blossoming Bogbeast, and Motivated Pony can pump our board for a lethal swing. Or maybe just dump all that mana in a cheeky Helix Pinnacle as an alternative wincon. Did my best to stay within the $150 price limit, but if I had no budget my top three upgrades would be Delighted Halfling, Nuka Cola Vending Machine and The Cabbage Merchant. Either way the deck is a token lovers delight, and it is sure to bring the feast!

Gandalf, Party Guest

Aug 13, 2026

Wiz Bang is basically an "Oops, All Gandalfs" build led by *Gandalf, Party Guest*. The whole idea is getting a bunch of wizards together to make massive bangs. You just load up your side of the table with every legendary wizard you can find, and when you move to combat our commander's ability triggers to let you cheat out gigantic spells for free. It's a chaotic engine that captures that Middle-earth wizard duel vibe, flooding the board with massive fireworks and swarms of flying creature tokens before your opponents even know what hit them!

Gandalf, Party Guest

Bilbo, Thief in the Night

Aug 13, 2026

This is the budget version of the first brew that came to my mind the SECOND I saw this card. Unfortunately, budget still means over 55 dollars because Bilbo is 16 dollars, however every other card in the deck is under $2.00 at the time of writing this foreword. This makes it a crisp 40 dollars sans commander. That out of the way, what does this deck do? This deck is an artificrats brew, focused on artifacts that sacrifice themselves, cards that sacrifice other artifacts, cards that discard artifacts, cards that mill artifacts, all in service of Bilbo bringing them back at a discounted rate. Bilbo's inherent synergy with flashback cards, adventure cards that have died, future sight effects, etc are present here, but the main theme is the artifact killing for value. Our main wincons are overwhelming our opponents with our advantage, or suiting our Bilboy up with some ways to turn your card advantage into power toughness values. Yes, this is mono-blue voltron. The deck also contains some explosive plays like flashing back frantic search for very early mana generation paired with an abundance of ways to touch more cardboard. I have LOVED goldfishing this deck, and I hope everyone else loves it as much as I do.

Smaug the Impenetrable

Aug 13, 2026

Smaug the Magnificent

Aug 13, 2026

With face commander Smaug the Magnificent and alternative commander Thorin, Mountain-King, this deck is for dwarves and their treasures, both shiny and for whacking. Both commanders have full art options available to add to the Wizardiness. The primary theme is to create your treasure horde, burning along the way to then use the dragon breath of Smaug to finish the fight. The subtheme is dwarves and equipment, with the ever threatening removal of Thorin, Mountain-king in the command zone. They both compliment and contrast each other, with equipment making treasure and treasure becoming equipment, while forcing you to make the decision of saving your horde for Smaug, or spending it for Thorin and his dwarves.

Bard, King of Dale

Aug 13, 2026

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.

"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some just keep coming back from the graveyard." - Bilbo Shakespeare. This is a Golgari deck about death, rebirth, and death again, a nasty adventure that would haunt and scare any little Hobbit. This Gothic novel of Commander deck wants to cheat out big power threats, use them for card draw and then maybe bring them back later. Maybe. Nothing can stay dead for too long in The Misty Mountains. Every time something dies, Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat make sure it wasn't in vain. Call it dramatic irony with upside. The deck also comes with some major needed reprints and a "fine" land base. It would be easy to swap out some higher value cards into this deck and make it souped up for higher bracket games. In short: Everybody dies, nobody stays dead, and there's a moral in here somewhere if you squint.

Gollum, Riddle Master

Aug 13, 2026

A Mono-Black midrange grind deck led by Gollum, Riddle Master. This deck runs best by curving into the engine, deploying your board quickly, making connections to trigger drain, and a devotion-based close with opportunities to rebuild. With maintaining room for upgrades like traditional precons, this deck serves as an entry point into Black with classic mechanics such as a light reanimate package, recycling trades, spot-removal, and old-school swampwalking beaters. Intentionally built without infinite combos to encourage deckbuilding and exploratory creativity, this precon is a good starting point for new players.

Use The Master of Lake Town to mill out your opponents with big hitters or use the Sackville-Bagginses to hoard your wealth and make enough tokens to go wide and have either commander used in the 99 to work in terrible unison against your friends! A budget safe, low cost commander deck that highlight the mono black cards from both The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings!

Radagast of Rhosgobel

Aug 13, 2026

Big Green Idiots, the deck. This deck will be perfect for beginners and older Timmys and Tammys alike. The deck contains no tokens or shuffling at all to make for an easy game flow. Radagast letting you play one creature per turn makes you involved in everyone's turn so you can have your big green and hold mana to be responsible too, or just flash in a platinum angel so you can live to keep attacking for longer.

Aug 13, 2026

"Bilbo had heard tell and sing of dragon-hoards before, but the splendour, the lust, the glory of such treasure had never yet come home to him. His heart was filled and pierced with enchantment and with the desire of dwarves; and he gazed motionless, almost forgetting the frightful guardian, at the gold beyond price and count." - J.R.R Tolkien, The Hobbit. This is a rakdos treasure deck designed to be as explosive as a dragon's breath, able to generate a lot of mana/treasures in one turn and immediately make use of them to destroy your opponents. Designed to feel like a real precon, this deck prioritises flavour and power in equal measure, missing certain cards that would doubtlessly be quite powerful because they didn't fit with the deck and also so that players would have room to upgrade the precon. Additionally, cards from the hobbit set were prioritised over non-hobbit cards and cards from sets outside the high fantasy genre were avoided unless they could reasonably be reprinted with fitting art. This deck's gameplan is to spend the beginning creating some treasures and a minor value piece which, after playing Smaug, can snowball very quickly into the powerful cards that run at the top end of this deck. Greed, vanity and power are the components that make up Smaug as a character so those are the feeling I tried to evoke with this deck.

Aug 13, 2026

Summon wolves - Hunt threats - Bite down, Chief of the Wilds leads a powerful and synergistic Wolf kindred "precon". Double up the triggers of your best wolves as the Chief grows tall and your board goes wide with a variety of ways to make wolf tokens. While you do so, be prepared to hunt down your enemies' biggest threats with removal and bite down for the win! Notable cards include: - Both Garruks (Cursed Huntsman / Relentless): Grow an army of wolf tokens while picking off enemy creatures and pumping your board to the extreme. - Cover of darkness and Wolfrider's saddle: Two strong cards that can make your wolf army nigh unblockable. Saddle is especially good with Chief. - Bloodline Bidding and Kindred dominance: Powerful top-end sorceries that benefit you from your kindred strategy. - Hollowhenge overlord: With Chief out, you're quadrupling your wolves every turn!

Bilbo, Thief in the Night

Aug 13, 2026

Core Themes & Key Cards 1. "Going Invisible" (Evasion & Unblockable) Just like Bilbo slipping on the One Ring to escape Gollum or Smaug, this deck features heavy evasion to ensure your combat triggers hit reliably. Evasion Equipment & Auras: Bilbo's Ring, Aether Tunnel, Aqueous Form, Cloak of Invisibility, Prowler's Helm, Writ of Passage, Crafty Pathmage, Rogue's Passage, Key to the City. Defensive Wards: Mithril Coat keeps your hero safe from removal. 2. "Riddles in the Dark" (Spellcasting & Cantrips) To represent Bilbo's quick thinking and Gandalf's wizardry, the deck runs a massive suite of card-selection and instant-speed draw spells. Selection & Brainpower: Ponder, Consider, Precognition Field, Future Sight, Magus of the Future, The Reality Chip, Riddles in the Dark, Uncover the Moon-Letters. Graveyard Value: Lier, Disciple of the Drowned, Deep Analysis, Think Twice, Frantic Search, Mission Briefing. 3. "There and Back Again" (Win Conditions) How does a small Hobbit beat giant dragons and armies? By building an army of allies and striking when least expected. Go-Wide Token Generation: Spellslinging turns into board presence via Talrand, Sky Summoner, Murmuring Mystic, and Shark Typhoon. Voltron / Direct Damage: Equip Glamdring to Bilbo, make him unblockable, and swing for massive commander damage while casting free spells from your hand. Late-Game Bombs: Rite of Replication (kicked on Torrential Gearhulk or Nezahal, Primal Tide), One with the Multiverse, or a massive Flow of Knowledge.

Tom, Bert, and William

Aug 12, 2026

I built this deck around my favorite card from the pre-release (thanks to Prof, I got first)! Tom, Bert, and William is an excellent card draw engine, especially when paired with high power creatures. I leaned heavily into this sets ferocious golgari pairing. There's a ton of synergy that makes sure you always have the advantage with big creatures and card draw off their demise. You will always have an answer and your hand will never be empty as you feast and forage to the bottom of your deck. Just be careful not to mill yourself to the ground. I tried to contain the card selections to spells that would make sense within the hobbit universe as well as include cards that could have new artwork to fit within this fantasy world. I actually have this deck in person and it is a blast!

Gandalf, Party Guest

Aug 12, 2026

Gandalf has been invited to a party to perform his renowned magic tricks. What could possibly go wrong? We want to make the most out of Gandalf’s ability to cheat some of our gigantic spells into play for free, blow out the party and win the game. The catch? Gandalf needs an audience. Lots of Legendary Wizards. That’s where our draw-discard engine comes in: we dig through the deck for exactly the right spells, and buy enough time to set up the big show. Don't be afraid to discard you precious spells, most of them will be available from the graveyard when the right wizards show up. And can you even call it a party without some proper "gate crashers"? A flood of disposable tokens will swarm the battlefield while we wait for the grand finale. You get an advantage from both discarding to grow your graveyard and drawing to generate tokens. Victory is the goal, but a crazy fun party is the ultimate prize! NO. BALROGS. ALLOWED. Budget reference 150$ as mentioned in the video.

Smaug the Impenetrable

Aug 12, 2026

In this Rakdos treasure deck with Smaug the Impenetrable at the helm, the plan is to continuously blow up the board with noncombat damage, and then convert that damage into Treasures, while also gaining benefits from creatures dying. The board wipes act as the engine with Blasphemous Act, Star of Extinction, Chain Reaction, Starstorm, and Volcanic Fallout clearing the table while Smaug gains a pile of gold, and Furnace of Rath doubling every count. Cards like Pestilence grind little by little and stay up due to Smaug tanking all that damage. Wins come from converting the treasure hoard into life loss with artifact-ETB triggers like Reckless Fireweaver and Ingenious Artillerist, token drains like Mirkwood Bats, Nadier's Nightblade, and Disciple of the Vault, with Exsanguinate as a late-game play. This deck does contain infinite loops: Chain Lightning or Pestilence + Smaug, and Mayhem Devil + Mirkwood Bats + Smaug. Because these cards naturally fit Smaug, who benefits from taking damage, I decided to keep them.

Bard the Bowman

Aug 12, 2026

This is a pauper EDH deck that is designed to hang with any typical bracket decks. We will be playing this list on our podcast on our upcoming Hobbit episode. Bard is a great choice for making a pauper deck that can hang with just about any bracket list. There is plenty of ways to interact and to draw cards. Furthermore we went for flavor with this list and tried to stick with as many hobbit/LOTR cards as possible. Also, its hard to beat this price without some serious restrictions.

Flash dangerous

The Lord of the Eagles

Aug 12, 2026

Fill the skies with strange creatures to coax out The Lord of the Eagles and start swinging for dangerous amounts of flying damage. Use his large mana value and ability to be flashed in to turn the tides. Any commander tax he accrues will be easily mitigated! Built with the typical power, reprint value, and constraints of a modern precon in mind.

The Lord of the Eagles

Aug 12, 2026

“The Eagles are coming! The Eagles are coming!” From the Misty Mountains they descend — a storm of wings blotting out the sun. This is a deck built for that moment: the desperate turn of the tide, when all seems lost and salvation arrives on feathered wings. Rally your flock with swift, cunning fliers — Warden of Evos Isle, Loyal Drake, Bilbo slipping through the shadows unseen. Let the winds favor you (Favorable Winds, Tempest Djinn) as your skies darken with allies. Then, when the moment is right, the sky itself answers: The Lord of the Eagles descends, flash-summoned for a fraction of his true cost, an 8/8 titan arriving exactly when your enemies think the battle is won. Arm him for war. Andúril, reforged and gleaming. The Sword of Feast and Famine, drinking the strength of your foes. Bind him in Eldrazi steel until he blots out the sky entirely. Let Meneldor carry your fallen back into the fight, wings never tiring. Your enemies dug in, fortified, certain of victory — until the horizon fills with wings. Hold the skies. Answer the horns. Let the Eagles decide the battle.

Play cheap cards in the early filtering your hand. In the mid-game, use your interaction to deter your opponent. In the late game, start stealing all your opponents' creatures and artifacts.

Dwalin, Weaponmaster

Aug 12, 2026

"Enter the forge with Dwalin, Weaponmaster! Fashion unique equipment, hone them to perfection, and cut down your opponents with power." Precon-adjacent equipment staples provide a familiar foundation, while a selection of unconventional equipment gives the deck its own identity. While equipment decks typically focus on increasing power, Dwalin creates an opportunity to play value-oriented equipment that gradually grow stronger through hone counters. A modest proliferation package accelerates growth, strengthening anything with hone counters while turning otherwise restrictive interactions with charge counters and other counters into added value. The deck is built to grow as tall as it does wide, steadily increasing in its board presence and power through Dwalin's ability. Reconfigure creatures are strangely useful here, as their effects often provide utility rather than raw strength. This makes them easy to overlook in favor of stronger equipment, but they can accrue hone counters and improve their strength over time. When equipped, they also survive creature board wipes and can effectively rebuild your board as creatures again, giving the deck resilience that typical equipment decks lack.

Atris, Oracle of Half-Truths

Aug 12, 2026

Riddles in the Dark is a blue-black Commander deck built around Atris, Oracle of Half-Truths and inspired by The Hobbit. It focuses on hidden information, guessing games, secret piles, and tricky choices, using cards like Riddles in the Dark, Gollum, Riddle Master, and Fact or Fiction. The deck is casual, flavorful, and designed to make every game feel like a riddle.

Radagast of Rhosgobel

Aug 12, 2026

The deck is built to help new players learn Magic through straightforward gameplay and combat‑focused interactions, emphasizing clear sequencing, attacking, blocking, and board development. It leans on heavy amounts of low‑cost ramp that directly synergizes with the commander, letting you drop 2‑mana artifact creatures on each opponent’s turn to steadily build board presence. That early momentum snowballs as you start deploying big, trampling threats ahead of curve. The game closes with powerful finishers that grant overrun‑style buffs or indestructibility, letting your creature swarm punch through defenses and secure the win.

Bilbo, Thief in the Night

Aug 12, 2026

I built this deck around the flavor of Bilbo delving the lonely mountain. My focus was artifacts and casting spells from the graveyard to nudge at the idea of the past artifacts or ideas being dug up (like how bilbo burglars the treasure of lonely mountain) Flavor aside, I think mono color decks arent explored enough and I love the mechanic of an artifact / reanimator deck. Hope you enjoy and can see the vision.

Who knew that a 4-man mana man who buffs and draws cards could be so good in a token deck? On the Moxfield side of things, it says $140, but on the Mana Pool, it is $176. But enough about price. I made this deck because I think it has a simple premise and commander that can be changed and updated to fit and fine-tune for your play style, as well as show off how strong card draw and +1/+1 across your board can be for a new player. And finally, I chose this commander because I didn't want to pick something everyone would do. It wins on turn 9 consistently with mana open for interaction! I think it actually pairs well against the other token heavily deck that the professor made, being that they both care about stat buffs; they just use their tokens differently. With no game changers and infinites out of the box, I think it fits well as a precon!

Gandalf, Party Guest

This is a Legendary Wizard Tribal Spellslinger precon concept deck. The deck's primary game plan is to use the abilities of its legendary Wizards to cast, copy, recycle, and recast spells, often at a reduced cost or for free. As with most precons, the deck does not include any infinite combos. It leans heavily into the spellslinger strategy, so it includes more interaction than a typical precon. One of the deck's intentional weaknesses is its relatively high reliance on the commander, which is a common limitation of preconstructed decks. This also leaves plenty of room for upgrades with a few key additions. The deck is designed first and foremost to be fun and flavorful. All creatures in the deck are Legendary Wizards from throughout Magic's history, including both UW and UB characters, along with nearly every version of Gandalf. Only one Gandalf is missing, and Gandalf, Shadow's Foe would make an excellent first upgrade. The secondary commander is Gandalf of the Secret Fire, which changes the deck's approach by trading the primary commander's free casting ability for the use of time counters to cast spells for free. The deck is also intentionally dominated by cards from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. In several cases, cards with greater overall utility have been replaced by less powerful options simply because they belong to those sets. This is a deliberate choice that prioritizes theme and flavor over optimization. The deck also makes use of The Lord of the Rings' "the Ring tempts you" mechanic. Whenever possible, the selected card printings are from The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit sets.

Gollum, Riddle Master

Aug 12, 2026

In a deck full of the calloused and uncaring nobility of Middle Earth, use Gollum as a sacrificial outlet to drain your opponent's life. However, Gollum's obsession for the One Ring will not be denied. He will persist, remaining on the field and refreshing his triggers to frustrate your foes. This deck can be upgraded with mono black staples such as Phyrexian Obliterator and Grave Pact. You can also include copy cards such as Helm of the Host to double up on Gollum's triggered effects.

This is an Azorius Human Tribal deck that tries to go wide with token doublers while drawing a ton of cards and buffing tokens in the process. While I could have make different choices with the token engines, I decided to stick within the LotR setting so any card here that isn't from a LotR set had to be a card that could still aesthetically fit within Tolkien's world.

The Lord of the Eagles

Aug 12, 2026

A lord needs an army, and this lord arrives with his flock. Fill the skies with feathers, draw piles of cards, and build a powerful flock through tribal synergies and buffs to fuel 'The Lord of the Eagles' entry. - An infinite 'Time Warp' combo was considered during construction but was ultimately removed to keep the deck closer to precon power levels. Besides, when the skies belong to the birds, extra turns are hardly necessary.
