Legendary Creature — Halfling Rogue
Spells you cast from anywhere other than your hand cost {1} less to cast. Whenever Bilbo attacks, you may cast an artifact, instant, or sorcery spell from your graveyard. If an instant or sorcery spell cast this way would be put into your graveyard, exile it instead.
“Cast spells from your graveyard during combat, cheating on mana costs.”
Bilbo turns your graveyard into a second hand, letting you cast spells from there while reducing their cost. The core gameplan is filling your graveyard with cheap artifacts, instants, and sorceries, then attacking to reanimate and cast them for free or near-free. You're essentially doubling your resources: play spells from hand, fill the graveyard, then replay them from the yard without paying full mana. This lets you chain together card draw, interaction, and value while Bilbo chips in damage.
The deck wins through a mix of combat damage and sheer card advantage. Each turn you're casting multiple spells, drawing cards, and generating value that your opponents can't match. With the cost reduction, you'll cast spells that normally seem "too expensive" at instant speed during attacks. Think of it as a tempo-value deck that overloads the board with effects while keeping mana open for tricks.

Swap expensive cantrips like Jace's Legacy for Ponder or Thought Scour; use Murktide as a budget Murktide alternative with self-mill synergies.
