Sam Loyal Attendant Food and Tokens! Selesnya Commander Deck Tech EDH

Описание: This week's deck tech covers a Selesnya food deck that makes food and tokens with Sam Loyal Attendant at the helm. Through artifact and lifegain synergies, this deck powers out a board state and then wins via combat alpha strikes. Sam has been chosen as the commander for this deck instead of Sam AND Frodo to keep the mana base and cards simple for my wife whom this deck was designed for.

Sam, Loyal Attendant, introduced in the "Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth" set, is a versatile commander that brings token generation and resource ramping to the forefront of a green-white deck. As a commander, Sam provides the controller with consistent access to Food tokens—artifacts that can be sacrificed for life gain or utilized in various synergies within the deck. His ability to create Food tokens each turn makes him a potent enabler for strategies that revolve around life gain, artifact interactions, and token generation.

Synergies and Strategies
Sam's primary strength lies in his ability to generate Food tokens, which can be used in multiple ways depending on the deck's focus. In a life gain strategy, cards like Aetherflux Reservoir or Felidar Sovereign can turn the life gained from sacrificing Food into a win condition. For artifact synergies, Sam pairs well with cards like Academy Manufactor and Inspiring Statuary, which can turn Food tokens into a resource engine, creating additional tokens or providing mana for casting spells.

Sam also works well in token-focused strategies, where the Food tokens can be used to trigger effects from cards like Parallel Lives or Anointed Procession, doubling the token output and overwhelming opponents with sheer numbers. The tokens also serve as a consistent source of artifacts, enabling cards like Cranial Plating to deal massive damage or Arcbound Ravager to grow exponentially.

Deckbuilding Techniques
When building a deck with Sam as the commander, prioritize cards that can enhance or exploit the Food tokens he generates. Consider including synergies with life gain, artifacts, and token generation. Add cards that can double token production, and include ways to utilize the Food tokens for more than just life gain, such as turning them into other resources or combo pieces. The key to a successful Sam deck is leveraging his consistent token generation to create a versatile and resilient strategy that can adapt to various situations in the game.

Magic: The Gathering (MTG) is a popular collectible card game created by Richard Garfield and first released by Wizards of the Coast in 1993. It combines strategy, fantasy, and storytelling in a richly immersive game where players assume the roles of powerful spellcasters known as Planeswalkers. Each player builds a deck of cards representing magical spells, creatures, and artifacts, using them to battle opponents in a competition to reduce their life total to zero. The game is played using a variety of card types including lands which provide mana to cast spells, creatures that are used to attack and defend, and instants and sorceries which produce powerful one-time effects.

Magic features a complex ruleset and deep strategic elements, with gameplay that often involves constructing decks tailored to specific strategies, known as archetypes. With various formats like Standard, Modern, and Commander, MTG offers diverse gameplay experiences. Its expansive lore, numerous expansions, and continuous updates keep the game fresh and engaging. Players enjoy the dynamic nature of deck-building, strategic planning, and the thrill of both competitive and casual play. The game's rich universe and complex mechanics contribute to its enduring popularity and global community.
