Strategy
Frodo is a small but resilient hero who turns Equipment into a protective suit of armor. Your game plan is straightforward: suit Frodo up with cheap, efficient Equipment (especially ones with mana value 2–3), then swing in safely while he's protected from damage during your turn. Since he fetches Equipment whenever he enters or attacks, you'll naturally build card advantage by spreading your Equipment between him and other creatures, or just stacking them on Frodo himself for a growing threat.
The deck wins through commander damage or general combat pressure. Frodo's protection means he's nearly impossible to remove via damage during your turn, so you can confidently equip him with aggressive gear like Embercleave, Sword of Fire and Ice, or even modest +1/+1 stick Equipment. Mix in other white creatures that synergize with Equipment (like Puresteel Paladin or Stoneforge Mystic), and you'll have a compact, resilient engine. Include a few tutors and card-draw pieces to keep Equipment flowing, and you've got a lean, efficient midrange deck that's hard to race and satisfying to pilot.
