How it works

  1. Activate Frodo's first ability by paying W/BW/B, causing it to become a 2/3 Halfling Scout.
  2. Activate Frodo's second ability by paying B manaB manaB mana, causing it to become a 2/3 Halfling Rogue.
  3. Declare Frodo as an attacker.
  4. Frodo's myriad ability triggers, creating a token copy of Frodo attacking each other opponent.
  5. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each Frodo token.
  6. Deal combat damage using the Frodos.
  7. The Frodos trigger, causing each opponent to lose the game.

This clever Commander-legal setup leverages the legend rule-ignoring static ability of Sakashima of a Thousand Faces to let you build an army of legendary assassins without having to sacrifice any of them to state-based actions. Equipping Blade of Selves grants the original Frodo, Sauron's Bane myriad, which floods the board with token copies attacking every opponent simultaneously. Because those tokens enter non-legendary (or are protected by Sakashima's presence if copied), you can invest mana into activating each Frodo token's final ability so that every single connecting strike triggers an instant-win condition if the Ring has tempted you four or more times.
