Let me search for variations of this archetype name and check if there are any Samwise-related cards in the database:
The Samwise deck is a Selesnya-based combo deck centered around Samwise Gamgee that creates an infinite loop with Food tokens and sacrifice outlets. The core engine uses Samwise Gamgee to generate Food tokens whenever creatures enter, then sacrifices three Foods to recur creatures from the graveyard. With Cauldron Familiar (which returns to play by sacrificing a Food) and free sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer or Carrion Feeder, the deck generates infinite sacrifice triggers and death triggers. Chord of Calling and Birthing Ritual provide toolbox access to find combo pieces or answers like Yawgmoth, Thran Physician.
Over the last 30 days, Samwise has posted a 54.4% winrate across 20 tournament entries, showing modest but positive performance. The deck had a strong August (60% winrate) but has seen declining results through September and early October, with only a 25% winrate in the most recent week. The archetype currently sits outside the top 15 Modern archetypes by presence, representing a fringe choice in the format. Recent lists are remarkably consistent, with nearly every card appearing in 75-100% of builds, suggesting the core combo shell is well-defined with little room for innovation.
The deck's creature toolbox includes utility options like Orcish Bowmasters (95% presence), Young Wolf as a persist creature for value, and Haywire Mite for artifact removal. The manabase is heavily fetch-focused with 4 Verdant Catacombs and 4 Windswept Heath to enable Dryad Arbor tutoring and ensure consistent green sources for the combo.
