Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Strengths:

  • Strong synergy with any deck that creates tokens.
  • Good stats for its mana cost, at 2/3 for 3 mana.
  • Enhances the utility of all token-generating effects by adding Food tokens for additional life gain.

• Weaknesses:

  • Doesn't directly impact the board upon entry.
  • Needs other cards that generate tokens to maximize its utility.

Deck Utility:

• Token Decks: Obviously, Peregrin Took shines in any deck that is designed to create tokens. With each token creation, you get an additional Food token, which can be used for life gain or other synergies.

• Life Gain Decks: The Food tokens can also be a source of consistent life gain, making Peregrin Took a good fit in decks that benefit from life gain.

• Limited Formats (Draft/Sealed): In a limited environment, where gaining life can be more valuable, this card becomes an even better pick.

• Commander: Could be an excellent addition to token or life-gain focused Commander decks.

Peregrin Took offers strong synergy with any deck centered on token creation. Its ability to also generate Food tokens adds a layer of versatility, allowing you to gain life or interact with other cards that require Food tokens. The 2/3 body for 3 mana is fairly cost-effective, and in the right deck, this card can offer substantial value.
