Old Country Buffet - Jaheira, Friend of the Forest/Agent of the Iron Throne

[kirkusjones]

After seeing how clunky the colorless version was, I decided to go with the BG option. There's a lot more synergy.

My playgroup tends to avoid fetchlands, tutors and infinite combos to mitigate the power level, so synergy/redundancy is king. Still working out the remaining lands for the manabase and there are a few cards in the maindeck to figure out, too. Can't tell yet if Baba Lysaga, Night Witch is going to be a house or just be another sac outlet.

The general plan is make a bunch of artifact tokens to sac for fun and profit and drain out the table with the background, marionette master and disciple of the vault.

Here's the list:

Took a look through @yeti1069's Sam and Frodo list for some inspiration.

Making the following changes:

- Grim Hireling (the deck doesn't do a ton of attacking outside of alphastrikes)
- Baba Lysaga (not enough permanent diversity to satisfy her needs)
- Tamiyo's Journal (too slow)

+ Elanor Gardner
+ Candy Trail
+ Pippin, Warden of Isengard

On the fence about Cranial Plating and Armix, Filigree Thrasher given the lack of combat, they could easily become Dina, Soul Steeper and Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose.

If you're including Pippin, you may as well include Merry, Warden of Isengard as well. It makes an extra creature token basically 1/turn (cycle if you're making artifacts on other turns), which feeds your game plan. Plus, Merry and Pippin tutor for each other, so Merry has card advantage stapled to it.

The deck is BG, so Merry is out, unfortunately.
