Five Color LOTR

Commander / EDH

BigBuddy314


almost every card has some sort of reference to a character scene or item in LOTR. some lands and ramp spells dont match but the deck is supposed to be fairly playable so some of them dont mean anything. built mostly out of cards i had at home, and didnt feel like taking fetches out of my other decks. so the mana is a little wonky. i also dont have any cards for Orcs yet. Idk what to add for them.

Kenrith (commander) - Aragorn

Varis - Legolas
