Strategy
Bilbo Baggins is a sneaky card advantage engine that rewards you for playing the long game with scry triggers. Every time you cast the Adventure half (Take a Glance), you scry 2, which means Bilbo is essentially giving you card selection while putting a small evasive body on the battlefield. The deck wants to lean into cheap spells, especially instants and sorceries, so you can chain multiple casts per turn and stack scry triggers to dig for answers or fuel your game plan.
Your win condition is typically combat damage from Bilbo and token creatures, supported by card advantage and careful mana management. You'll generate value through repeated Adventure casts, cantrips, and cheap blue spells that smooth your draws. Think of it as a tempo deck that grinds opponents out—Bilbo survives most early trades, and the scry keeps your library working for you, letting you hit your land drops and find the spells you need to close out the game.
