A note about Ghen, Arcanum Weaver, since Mitch says to sacrifice sagas whose final chapter you don't care about: you can sacrifice them after their final chapter triggers while the trigger is on the stack. The state-based action that makes you sacrifice sagas checks that it isn't the source of a chapter ability currently on the stack, so it will remain on the battlefield to be interacted with until the chapter ability has resolved. You can also keep recurring your Sagas' final chapters by removing lore counters before the final chapter resolves, say with Scholar of New Horizons. The best part of doing this is that Tom Bombadil's ability is triggered by the final chapter ability resolving, not the SBA sacrifice, so you'll still get those triggers.
Another card I’ve been thinking about adding as a upgrade would be starfield of Nyx. At the beginning of your upkeep search your graveyard for an enchantment put it into the battlefield. Could be nice to keep recurring your Sagas, as well when you get enough of them on the field they all become creatures
Just off the top of my head I would probably add Hex Parasite to the deck. Not only will it remove counters from any saga you want, but it's also searchable with Urza's Saga if you also decide to run that. Urza's Saga is pricier, but Hex Parasite I think is around $5.
@@Thoughtmage100 If removing counters is something you like for a sagas deck, power conduit changes a lore counter into a +1 counter on a creature for 2 mana. also under $1
Another good addition could be all the new printed Praetors because they trigger their last stage of their saga side and flip back but you get another saga off of Tom as well!
The only way I found to make him work is running a ton of ramp and control, then drop in the 5 preators and all the sagas that turn into creatures. Most of those flip sagas have some spice...
I played against a Tom commander deck at my local game shop the other night. It seemed scary at first cause he was getting a lot of value from the sagas. However late in the game it became obvious that he had no win condition, the game just went for 2 hours until I won through mill.
I found you have to run it like a creature deck. That is the only wincon I could find. You have to have the Preators in there, period. Those 5 bangers and all the sagas that flip into creatures or make tokens. This will give you a steady stream of creatures and the bombs for late game.
@gamersrevenge6528 Neon Dynasty has a few epic ones. Like Hidetsugu and Jugan. Mix those with Dominaria and Theros Sagas that make tokens.... sprinkle in the recursion and removal sagas, then you are good to go!! I run it, and it's fast... I just make sure to have all the ramp and card draw I can get. You have to cast at least two sagas each then to make it worth it. Oh, and Historic Boon, pumps out soldiers and angles...
@@gamersrevenge6528 There are a few combos that can be added and synergize well. There and Back Again + Mirkwood Bats can combo for 28 damage to all opponents. There's 3 or 4 ways to boost that and/or make it infinite. The commander works best as an Aristocrats or a Creature deck imo. Creatures means you need the Preators and a few other bigs. Aristocrats should run Moonshaker for a wincon, Hardened Scales and Doubling season as synergy with token/counter recursion.
There is a problem here with the Control Sagas. Tom puts sagas directly into the battlefield. When Phyrexian Scriptures, Elder Dragon War, or The Phasing of Zhalfir are played this way, it often results in having to use things like Ghen to prevent it from negatively hitting your board state or suffering collateral damage.
I managed to build a Tom Bombadil deck and play it last night. Managed to trade for a Bombadil showcase at my LGS and ran it. Yea, it was a dang fun deck. Best advice I can give is to lean into the Kamigawa sagas since they flip into creatures giving you crazy advantage. Also, the 5 Praetors from March of the Machine are just busted in a Tom Bombadil deck.
@@92bagder one thing you can do to mitigate Jin’s requirement is to make sure you have enchantress effects in the deck. In particular, the version of Ephara that flips off Invasion of Theros lets you draw whenever an enchantment etbs instead of when you cast like most other creatures with a similar effect. So, the flip sagas from Kamigawa not only have you draw a card to replace them after casting the card, but when they flip they’ll draw you an extra on top of Tom fishing out another. You’ll end up multiple cards ahead before you start your main phase.
Would you mind sharing your deck list if it’s not too much trouble? I’m wanting to get back into commander after several years and this has me inspired
Yep, that is the way I run him. It was so much fun, but his brew has way too much proliferate. Tom is not about flipping as many sagas as you can it's about when you flip them!
amazing deck, i built it in MTG Arena with some different cards, because the card pull doesnt have them all, but i have 85% wins with the deck. thanks for the good work and i hope to continue the great work you do! o/
I'm a fairly new player, only been at it about 5 months. Tom Bombadil was one of the first flashy pull I had in my first big pack cracking session, and I've been interested in trying to build around him since then, but the 5 color mana base was a bit intimidating, ngl. But I'm thinking today, screw it. Let's go give this a shot. Thanks for the vid
I've ended up cutting her personally. Yeah she can both remove and add back on counters but I ended up realising I'd rather a card let me do two removals in a row or two adds in a row onto a saga and not have to cycle between them like she forces you to.
@@davestier6247 I have yeah, she's decent don't get me wrong and we're early days. I'm just sorta... I guess adding my two cents which didn't come across well so I'll reiterate; In my deck, during my games, I ended up finding repeat removal like scholar of new horizons or hex parasite or repeat adding through contagion clasp was better than a card that could only remove then add. Time will tell how right I am but in my games I found too many situations where I just wished she did one or the other than both badly but your ratios may be different, maybe one that does both kinda works well for you
Secluded Courtyard is a helpful land for casting 5 color creatures, and helps casting Bombadil under his creatures types of Bard or God. Almost opens up a tribal option. And the War of the Last Alliance saga makes a very smooth tutor for Bombadil and other legendaries like the praetor/saga flip card. The worst aspect I see to this deck is someone casting an exile enchantments sorcery card.
Fun Fact: a Saga's 3rd chapter goes on the stack and the saga doesn't sacrifice itself until the ability resolves. so Ghen at 11:10 can chain his ability to sacrifice the saga on it's 3rd chapter. Can even get the same saga if you really want.
Yes you can. The cost is what you need to pay before the ability can actually activate. The saga you sac'd for cost is now in the grave, and can be targeted.
I'd love to see a video about a deck for Saruman of Many Colors based around using cards from your opponent, either from deck, board or graveyard with a mill subtheme
I'm super excited to make this deck. I like playing around with the lesser common themes. A saga theme is something I've wanted to do for a while now. My only real concern though is how well you can actually survive. Sure, you have a good tool box of options with your sagas and stuff. But you don't really have many options to defend against 1 or more players just going red aggro on your all the time. The deck is vulnerable to swarm tactics and I do kinda worry about bricking with all those flicker effects, but nothing to use them on . I wonder what $$$ upgrades I would care about. I assume Rhystic Study and Smothering Tithe would be core if you already own them. I assume Swords to Plowshares would be good- only missing the budget point by 29 cents. haha I imagine Sylvan Library is good too if you have it already? Hmm, I wonder what other saga's exist that would be good that simply aren't budget....
Did I miss it or did not put a single card in that can remove counters? It’s actually the best value play to remove a counter from a saga that hast its final chapter ability ok the stack. This way, Tom will trigger but you will keep the saga around to trigger its final chapter again next turn (or when you proliferate). I understand that these effects are kind of niche, but still worth it in my opinion.
Facts. His brew would gas out turn 4 or 5. Waaaaaaayyyyy too much proliferate, Tom triggers one time each turn... I run Tom with all the sagas that turn into creatures and only instant speed proliferate, for others turns. Also, removing lore counters is far better than adding them to this deck. I also only run 5 creatures, and the rest is interaction and a ton of sagas. The win con is always attacking with creatures, as it ends up being heavy control with a few really big creatures and lots of +1/+1 counters.
@@darthcaedus9130 - LOL! Assuming they have no counter spells, no protection for their own creatures, no way to make tokens or copies using noncreature sources, assuming that you will always have enough board wipes, and enough Sagas to give him hexproof and indestructible? That is a lot of ifs.
Tons of interaction, and I use all the sagas that turn into creatures, then adding in the 5 Prators, it's all about creatures. Some games I have a few 10/10s and a 20+/20+ ( Sagas that turn into creatures, some get +1/+1 for each card in your hand or each creatures in your opponents grave ) also there are Sagas that take their creatures or reanimate creatures from their grave....
I built a Tom deck and ifs loads of fun, but not what I would call S tier powerful. Even running a good bit of fast mana, it takes a while to come online.
I may be wrong but I’ll pretty sure you can activate Ghen in response to the final saga being triggered. The trigger and effect will go on the stack still?
My fiancé went to the pre-release at our LGS and played against a kid who's father bought him a full box of set boosters looking for Tom Bombadil. He was more preoccupied with opening the packs than to play lol. Poor kid didn't pull him, but my fiancé did after he got home out of the three gift packs for playing that night lol! He wants to build a commander with Tom, so I linked him this video :P
No mention how you win with this deck. I made the decks 3 weeks ago. It plays more or less as a control deck woth value, you need the new preators as win cons

Hey, I just found an interesting interaction while browsing for a Sauron, the Dark Lord army tribal that I would like to share with all of you! Since Sauron amass on every cast, I want to try a build centered around Teferi's veil, an enchantment that makes your attacking creature phase out a the end of combat. With that you are able to make a new army with every turn with every previous round coming back from nonexistence, hitting hard and hiding itself back to avoid any wipe effect! With all the army support from War of the spark, that's a build that a lot of people will enjoy, I'm sure of it! Just fetch and protect your Teferi's Veil and Sauron will do the rest!

That would be great if using sagas for burn damage, or removal effects.
My favorite character in all of fiction and i am SO HYPED to start brewing him. Such a unique commander and such cool flavor.
It would be awesome if you made an upgraded version of this deck
