Tom Bombadil
As long as there are four or more lore counters among Sagas you control, Tom Bombadil has hexproof and indestructible. Whenever the final chapter ability of a Saga you control resolves, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a Saga card. Put that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. This ability triggers only once each turn.
How Tom Bombadil decks play in EDH
Tom Bombadil is a five-colour commander in white, blue, black, red and green costing WUBRG, and its legendary creature - god bard line shapes the whole deck around it. Its ability is narrow enough that the deck is usually built to protect it and repeat the effect, rather than to go wide. The cards below are the ones Tom Bombadil decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.

Start with Tom BombadilTom Bombadil deck questions
What colours can I use in a Tom Bombadil deck?
Tom Bombadil has a five-colour colour identity, so every card in the deck must be white, blue, black, red and green or colourless. That includes mana symbols in rules text, not just casting cost.
What are the best cards for Tom Bombadil?
The cards played most often in Tom Bombadil decks include The Misty Mountains Cold, Old Fat Spider Can't See Me, Burn, Burn, Tree and Fern. The full list of staples above is grouped by the job each card does, so you can see the deck's skeleton rather than just a pile of names.
How much does a Tom Bombadil deck cost?
The 20 most-played cards shown above come to roughly $19.20 at current market prices. A complete 100-card build costs more, and Grimoire can generate a budget version instead if you set a price ceiling.
Can I build a Tom Bombadil deck from cards I already own?
Yes. Import your collection into Grimoire and choose "my cards" when you build. The generator will only use cards you actually own, and the Missing Cards page shows what you would need to buy to finish any list.
