Info

Here's my take on Tell Me a Tale – Tom Bombadil.

When Tom Bombadil was first released, there weren't many good Sagas available. But when I opened a foil copy of the commander in a booster pack, I knew I had to build this deck—or die trying. With the release of more Sagas in recent sets, the deck's power level has steadily increased.

In June 2024, I had all five foil basic lands signed by John Avon at MagicCon Amsterdam!

Thank you for stopping by! Any comments and upvotes are greatly appreciated.

Game Plan

This deck aims to flood the battlefield with Sagas and simply outvalue the table. It sits around a medium power level but is an absolute blast to play. My primary win condition is the one-card combo with Primal Surge, as it's the only non-permanent in the deck. Building around that restriction was quite a challenge!

Help Wanted

I absolutely love this deck. The randomness of Sagas entering the battlefield keeps every game fresh and entertaining. That same randomness also means it doesn't win as often as some more consistent decks.

What do you think could improve the deck? I'm especially interested in hearing your suggestions for possible cuts. Thanks a lot!
