Bombur, Gentle Dreamer

Bombur is a 5/3 beater that encourages you to build a diverse artifact and legendary-heavy deck. The key is hitting your "enduring story" threshold—controlling three or more artifacts, legendaries, and/or Sagas—which unlocks Bombur's main ability: he untaps during your untap step, letting him attack every turn without tapping out. Once you've assembled enough permanents, you have a consistent threat that dodges traditional tap effects and synergizes beautifully with the Hobbit set's equipment-focused gameplan.

The deck naturally leans into equipment, Dwarf synergies, and Saga cards to satisfy the Storied requirement while building a tempo-aggressive shell. Equipment like Orcrist, Dwarven Mattock, and Sting reward you with value and evasion, while Dwarf creatures like Dáin's Company and Iron Hills Blacksmith generate more permanents and tutoring. Sagas such as The Misty Mountains Cold and An Unexpected Party offer both the third permanent and powerful payoffs.

Your win condition is straightforward: swing in with an army of equipped Dwarves, Treasures, and legendary creatures, using commander damage and overwhelming combat pressure. The deck wins through raw creature synergy and the long game, where redundant artifacts and Sagas ensure you always have an enduring story online.
