The deck comprises 40 creatures, eight sorceries, five instants, eight artifacts, four enchantments, and 34 lands. Most cards either generate Food tokens or leverage them strategically.

Key Cards:

Samwise Gamgee

Samwise Gamgee transforms all nontoken creatures entering the battlefield into creatures with an accompanying Food token. He also offers graveyard recursion for historic cards (legendary, artifact, or Saga) at the cost of three Food tokens. His low mana cost makes him easily replaceable if removed.

Peregrin Took

Peregrin Took enhances token creation with extra Food and converts Food tokens into card draw. Crucially, he enables an infinite combo with Nuka-Cola Vending Machine (requires three Food tokens initially).

Jaheira, Friend of the Forest

Jaheira provides mana generation by tapping tokens for green mana. Even if removed, her effect can be utilized before removal resolves. Samwise can also bring her back from the graveyard.

Scurry Oak

Scurry Oak, despite not directly involving Food tokens, is a powerful combo enabler. It can go infinite with Rosie Cotton of South Lane (creating infinite Squirrel tokens) or with Heliod, Sun-Crowned (for infinite life gain and tokens).

Gameplay Strategy:

This deck focuses on generating numerous Food tokens for defense and board presence. Food tokens are primarily used for effects like Samwise and Peregrin, only used for life gain when necessary. The primary win condition is combat, utilizing infinite combos or overwhelming the opponent with numerous creatures. Displaced Dinosaurs can significantly boost the power of historic permanents.

The deck's mana intensity is a potential weakness, requiring strategic ramp usage. Early-game damage may be unavoidable, but Food tokens help stabilize the life total.
