How it grades
Fundamentals 98/100. Plays like Lifegain and Tokens.
This reads as Lifegain · Tokens, built around Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit & Sam, Loyal Attendant. Life total as a resource and a weapon: incidental gain triggers payoffs that grow creatures, drain opponents, or draw cards, and the drain pairs turn a fat life total into a clock. The deck must not be a pile of gain with no payoff: every gain effect should feed at least two engines. The fundamentals check out across the board. From here it's meta calls and personal tech.
