DECEMBER 2025 UPDATE: After a solid year of tweaking, adding new sagas and cards, etc. I've updated the most current list here. I've invested in the mana base further, so the lands should be more optimized.

The stories of Tom Bombadil, updated as of July 2024 for playtesting from my LGS. Heavy enchantment focus with multiple avenues to interact with saga counters. I've found it takes quite a bit of manafixing in my playtesting so have added in some additional tech to smooth the manabase over. Removed some single-target instants (counterspell, path to exile) in favor of cheaper sagas, as i've found once you get the sagas rolling their effects interact with the table enough to not warrant one-offs.
