Tier: 9How Tom Bombadil Interacts With Reanimation Sagas | Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth
Tom Bombadil is an odd card that interacts with Sagas in interesting ways. One of the most interesting ways is when he gets reanimated by Cruelty of Gix or Elspeth Conquers Death (or cheated in with World Spell or similar). Tom Bombadil's triggered ability times out in such a way that you are able to spin into a free saga when he's your reanimation target and you don't need me to tell you how busted that can get. The interaction isn't necessarily intuitive, so this video is here to illustrate the interaction for anyone who is unaware.
