Frodo Baggins

Frodo Baggins is your gateway into the Ring mechanic—a fun, flavorful system where you accumulate power and abilities as the Ring tempts you. Your deck wants to play other legendary creatures to trigger Frodo's tempt ability repeatedly, building up your Ring-bearer's bonuses while gradually pushing through damage. The Ring acts as a scaling threat that gets better every time you trigger it, turning Frodo from a humble 1/3 into a serious evasive threat over a few turns.

Your main gameplan is controlling the board with green ramp and white removal while flooding the board with legendary creatures—think of partners, legendary tokens, and creatures that recur. Each legend you play triggers Frodo, advancing the Ring and pumping your bearer closer to victory. You're not trying to win fast; instead, you're leveraging incremental value and protection to grind out a steady clock while your opponents scramble to deal with an ever-growing threat.

The deck can pivot to aristocrats synergies if some of your legendaries have good death triggers, or lean hard into token generators that create legendary tokens. Either way, Frodo rewards patience and legendary synergies—building a board of iconic creatures that work together to win through creature damage and Ring-bearer pressure.
