Bombadil's Song (LTR)

Bombadil's Song
Casting Cost: {1}{G}
Card Type: Instant
Card Text:
Target creature you control gets +1/+1 and gains hexproof until the end of turn. The Ring tempts you. (A creature with hexproof can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control.)
Flavour Text:
"Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!"
Artist: Marie Magny

Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Strength: Provides an immediate buff and protection to a creature you control. This could be especially useful for saving a key creature from removal or to push through some extra damage.

• Flexibility: Can be used both offensively and defensively. It can make a creature a better attacker or blocker for a turn or protect it from targeted removal.

• Low Cost: At just 2 mana, this is a highly efficient spell.

• Flavor: The flavor text and theme are evocative of the character Tom Bombadil from the Lord of the Rings series, which adds a layer of enjoyment for fans.

• Weakness: The effect is temporary and only lasts until the end of the turn. Also, it only targets one creature, so its impact may be limited in some scenarios.

Deck Utility:

• Hexproof/Synergy: Could fit well in decks that focus on hexproof or shroud creatures, potentially enabling combos or protecting key creatures.

• Aggro/Tempo: In fast decks, this can help protect a key creature while also aiding in racing the opponent.

• Midrange: Can act as a tool to protect high-value creatures in a midrange strategy.

• Commander: Given the higher frequency of targeted removal in Commander, this card could provide a valuable protection effect in that format.

Bombadil's Song is a versatile and efficient card that can fit into multiple deck archetypes, offering both offensive and defensive utility.
