I didn't build it starting with the precon, I started by pulling all the Food synergy cards into the building space, then adding halflings when synergistic given how linked the two are, then looked for cards that had to do with artifacts/tokens being created, counted, or sacrificed. EDHRec came into play, but I looked not only at my commanders, but also at the wider Abzan pool of cards. It was clear from Merry and Pippin's EDHRec page that a lot of Precons or slightly altered Precons went into that data.\n\nLastly, I wanted this to be a Budget deck.
