The Food and Fellowship deck is a flavorful and unique food-themed deck that focuses on Rhosgobel, Buckland, and the Shire.

With plenty of food tokens to keep guests happy, this deck truly embodies the spirit of a lively party.
The 10 Best Cards in the Food and Fellowship Deck
Birds of Paradise for the win!
Honestly, any one-mana elf is a great option to start with, but Birds of Paradise stands out by pumping up the party with its ability to generate mana. Prize Pig, on the other hand, provides additional mana as the party progresses.
Halfling Party is a card that gains power every time you gain life, making it more dangerous as the party goes on. This little hobbit can keep other players' creatures in check, as they wouldn't want to see him transform into a formidable party killer.
Bilbo's Reunion brings +1/+1 tokens, food tokens, and a horde of 1/1 halflings, showing Bilbo's enthusiasm for bringing his entire extended family to parties. This card not only adds more buddies to the party, but it also offers a potential cure for the dreaded hoarde-itis, a disease that plagues HOBBITLAND.
Pony Express may be inconsistent, but when combined with Day's Arena or a full board of elves, it can become a 5/5 trample haste creature that boosts the power of all its allies by +2/+2. Offering friends a power boost is a fitting way for most parties to come to an end.
Feasting Hobbit is a cost-effective 5/5 creature in the early game, but as life totals increase and food tokens accumulate in the late game, this little hobbit becomes an unstoppable force.
Rhosgobel's Elder is a must-have card for white and green decks, granting the ability to draw cards each turn by gaining three or more life. Hello, Hands of the Healer! No, these cards are drawn from Rhosgobel. Combine this with Glimpses or Grow From Within for a steady stream of cards.
Shire Shirriff is a two-mana bear with vigilance that can remove an opposing creature. This card offers incredible value, especially in games where players are vying for control of powerful legendary creatures such as Odovacer. Ignoring this little guy could lead to losing a General or having the board wiped out by a Damnation effect.
Hithlain Rope doesn't provide food but keeps the party going by granting cards and lands to everyone at the table. If you manage to get one through Ephemerate or Harvest, your friends will be eternally grateful.
Frodo, the Adventurous Hobbit, takes on the role of the ultimate Ring-Bearer. By getting tempted by the Ring, attacking, and drawing cards, Frodo provides a versatile and valuable addition to the party. Boost his power even further by equipping him with Rhosgobel rings and gain a significant advantage in the game while keeping your hand full.
Bilbo, the Birthday Celebrant, is exactly what the party needs. When your life total reaches 111, this older - but not wiser - hobbit brings out an army of giant creatures onto the board. Dealing with this formidable force will be a challenge for everyone at the table. Imagine the thrill of a Rhosgobel Ramp into a big Genesis Wave, summoning a horde of 111/111 yetis, followed by Bilbo, the Birthday Celebrant, bringing them all back.
Now, before you thank us for these fantastic additions to your deck, remember that the Food and Fellowship deck is all about having a great time, gathering friends, and enjoying the festivities. So, invite your companions, gather around the table, and let the party begin!
