What happens when you combine The Lord of the Rings, the upcoming The Hobbit expansion, and Commander? You get five unique EDH deck ideas built around some of Tolkien's most iconic characters! In today's video, we're brewing decks around Smaug, The Master of Lake-town, Sméagol, Helpful Guide, Galadriel, Light of Valinor, and Elrond, Moon-Reader. Whether you like Treasure decks, reanimator, mill, group hug, +1/+1 counters, or activated ability shenanigans, there's something here for every Commander player. Decks Featured: 🔥 *Smaug* – Rakdos Treasure Horde with huge Treasure payoffs and an infinite combo using Pestilence/Pyrohemia. 💀 *Master of Lake-town* – Mono-Black burn, mill, and reanimator, stealing the best creatures from every graveyard while threatening a Bloodchief Ascension combo. 💍 *Sméagol, Helpful Guide* – Mill your opponents, exile or gift lands for maximum value, and let The Ring Tempts You fuel your engine. 🌿 *Galadriel, Light of Valinor* – Bant "Rule of Three" token strategy that snowballs with +1/+1 counters. 🔵 *Elrond, Moon-Reader* – Mono-Blue activated abilities, looting, pingers, and untap synergies that generate incredible value before winning through damage, mill, tokens, or giant creatures.
