Tom, Bert, and William
AI draftAI-generated draft analysis — not yet human-reviewed. Treat with healthy skepticism.Limited summary
Five-mana 5/5 sacrifice engine: eat a creature, draw its power in cards. When they die they return as an artifact, so removal never fully answers them. Card advantage attached to a Ferocious-enabling body.

Gameplay notes
Sacrificing a dying creature in response to removal converts it into cards. The artifact return also keeps your Storied/artifact counts up.
Key synergies
The Trolls sacrifice creatures at will — each activation draws cards AND triggers Part in Friendship for a fresh creature. A complete engine in two cards.
Chief Warg's Company creates a fresh 2/2 Wolf every upkeep, giving Tom, Bert, and William renewable sacrifice fodder that converts into two cards before the discard without consuming nontoken creatures.
Tom, Bert, and William can sacrifice the Master on demand to draw three cards from its power, then the Master's death trigger can draw up to two more if the graveyards have reached seven cards.
After Rhovanion Rampager sacrifices another creature and gains counters equal to its power, Tom, Bert, and William can sacrifice the enlarged Rampager to draw a large number of cards; its death trigger then amasses Goblins equal to that same boosted power.
Sacrificing Fearsome Goblin Pair to Tom, Bert, and William triggers its death ability, converting the small body into card selection plus an immediate amass Goblins 4.
The Trolls' sacrifice ability is a creature ability — every activation also draws a card off Elrond.
Sacrificing Gollum to the Trolls draws two cards, and he returns to be eaten again — repeatable card advantage.
A 5/5 that also draws cards keeps Ferocious on while stacking a second draw engine in the same colors.
Desolation Prowler can become a 4/4 before being sacrificed to Tom, Bert, and William, turning the cheap two-drop into four cards before the required discard.
Gathering of Darkness creates or grows an Army that Tom, Bert, and William can sacrifice for a sizable draw, while its recursion half can recover a valuable nontoken creature previously sacrificed to the Trolls.
Tom, Bert, and William can sacrifice a creature before casting Dreaded Bat-Cloud, reliably reducing the Bat's cost from five mana to two while also turning the sacrificed creature into cards.
After Tom, Bert, and William die and return as a noncreature artifact, that otherwise inert artifact can be sacrificed to pay Stir Up Trouble's additional cost, converting their second form into efficient removal.
When Tom, Bert, and William sacrifice a creature token, The Sackville-Bagginses also make the opponent lose 1 life, adding a damage payoff to expendable token fodder.
Each creature sacrificed to Tom, Bert, and William also triggers Great Fierce Bee to scry 1, improving the quality of the cards drawn by the sacrifice engine.
