Reviews

There's no theme in The Hobbit centered around and . Even if there were, only Gleam of Death would be worth casting, and Glamdring, Foe-hammer would be embarrassingly bad. I don't think this is worth playing at all, but if you happen to build some sort of control deck with a ton of instants and sorceries, then sure, go nuts.

How to draft it

Roles in each deck

  • Goblin Army Filler

    Gleam of Death needs blue mana, so this deck gets only Glamdring, a 2-mana that gives no power or toughness and makes your and cost X less, where X is the equipped creature's power. It reduces only generic mana, and the deck has few instants and sorceries to use it on.

    How to play it

    Don't play it. The this deck wants is Crude Bent Blade and Goblin Plate Mail.
