Samwise the Stouthearted has Flash, allowing you to surprise opponents by returning a target permanent from your graveyard to your hand when he enters the battlefield. Additionally, he tempts you with the Ring, enabling potential synergies with the Ringbearer mechanic. This card fits well in decks focusing on recursion and tempo, particularly in white-based strategies. **As a Commander:** Samwise can serve as a unique commander in a mono-white deck, leveraging the ability to recur key permanents while also providing the Ringbearer mechanic. However, his low power and toughness may limit his effectiveness as a central figure in more aggressive strategies, making him better suited for the 99 in decks that prioritise creature recursion and tempo plays.
