Tales of Middle-earth’s Food and Fellowship commander deck is all about being the life of the party. Bringing good food and good cheer to your casual 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: the Gathering night defines this deck, a⭕s does its ability to gain an utterly astonishing amount of life andꦕ then use that life to power potent threats.
Food and Fellowship is good to play r꧟ight out of the box, but as with most preconstructed commander decks, there is some room for improvement. Here, we’ll discuss a few cards you should consider adding to Food and Fellowship that won’t break your budget.
11 Honorable Mentio🔯ns
But before we get tꩵo the budget upgrades, a few cards that didn’t quite make the cut that you should still definitely consider. Generous Gift and Beast Within are basically the same card and are great instant-speed creature removal. Ditto Putrefy with the added benefit of being able to kill artifacts.
Sakura-Tribe Elder is a staple Commander card that fits in any deck 🦂that runs green, as is Eternal Witness. Bojuka Bog is an easy splash for some graveyard hate, and Ajani’s Pridemate loves any deck that gains lots of life. Finally, Giant Opportunity isn’t quite strong enough to make the cut but is definitely on-brand for a food-center🌠ed deck.
10 Soul Warden, Soul's Attendant, Suture Priest
Food and Fe🔯llowship already includes Essence Warden, but there’s no reason it can’t also include Soul Warden and Soul’s Attendant. Gaining life is always a good thing, and having more than one Essence Warden on the board just means gaining more life faster. Bilbꦍo wants you to have 111 life, so might as well make him happy.
Suture Priest is slightly more expensive than either Soul Warden or Soul’s Attendant, but it still accomplishes the same 🎶goal and also pokes your opponent’s life totals downward too. Maybe consider this card instead of Prosperous Innkeeper.
9 🔯 Loxodon Warhammer ও
There’s no subtlety in Loxodon Warhammer, but then again, there doesn’t need to be. Equip to any able-bodied creature you control and then just start swinging for some sweet life gain. Even attaching to a ꦐdefensive creature with Reach is still a good idea as it convinces opposing creatures to stay home lesꦇt they run into a wall that’ll only gain life in combat.
8 The Shire
A curious absence froℱm the Food and Fellowship deck, The Shire is a land in Tales of Middle-earth that provides you with a ready source of food tokens so long as you control a Legendary Creature. Since Frodo is a cheap commander to cast, you’ll likely have a legendary critter in play even in the early game, which means The Shire can start pumping ওout food tokens very early on.
7 Knight 🔴of Autumn
One of the few problems that Food and Fellowship has is that it migh🔴t be a little too focused. Stic🅷king to a strategy is all well and good, but multiplayer Commander games require a bit of flexibility. Knight of Autumn provides that in spades.
Get tokens, gain li💜fe, or destroy a problematic artifact or enchantment all for the low cost of three mana. Consider replacing one of Food and Fellowship’s less po🌊werful cards such as Mirkwood Bats or Eagles of the North.
6 Elanor Gardner ༺
Another curious absence from Food and Fellowship, Elanor Gardner both makes food and also helps search out basic lands from your deck whenever a food token is sacrificed. She seems the perfect addition to Food and Fellowship, and it's a mystery why she wasn't on the original decklist.
Whatever the reason, you can correct this oversight by ditching one of Food and Fellowship's less interesting cards. Mirkwood Bats seems like the perfect card to replace for Elanor.
5 Vito, Thorn of the Dusk 🗹Rose ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ
Sanguine Bond is a perfectly fine card for any deck that splashes black and also gains a lot of life. But it's a five-mana enchantment that doesn't do anything else. Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, is a three-mana creature that can also provide lifelink to every other creature you control.
Vito is a strict upgrade over Sanguine Bond that'll provide more power, more options, and shrink your overall mana curve. It's an easy pick.
4 Scavenging Ooze ꦏ
Flexibility is important for any Commander deck, but so is graveyard hate. Because games go long and there are often a lot of cards in players' graveyards, a lot of Commander decks tend to use reanimator strategies or have abilities that care about what's in any given graveyard at any given time.
Scavenging Ooze shuts those strategies down and also gives you an escalating threat in the form of +1/+1 counters. It's an easy substitution at just two mana.
3 Gluttonous Trꦿoll 🌸
You might not want Gluttonous Troll for every game, but for multiplayer games with lots of other players, Gluttonous Troll provides plenty of food tokens. It's also a sacrifice outlet in case you're up against a blue mage that likes to steal stuff, but really, Gluttonous Troll is mostly here for the food.
Mirkwood Bats, Eagles of the Nort🀅h, or Generous Ent are all fair replacement targets for Gluttonous Troll.
2 Feasting💟 Troll King 💝
You don't have to replace Woodfall Primus for Feasting Troll King, but in a deck that already has a lot of food, Feasting Troll King is a self-reanimating threat that can prove problematic for opponents. On top of that, vigilance keeps this hungry troll monarch on the defensive even when it’s chunking life totals seven points at a time.
Four green mana is a stiff price for a deck that's already stretched between three colors, but if you can manage to stuff in that Sakura-Tribe Elder, Feasting Troll is a great threat.
