I built Samwise Gamgee as a Storm deck. Yes, you read that right. I'll explain.

It runs 5 cards that act as either token doublers or ETB doublers, 6 creatures that provide protection effects. 2 that prevent opponents from acting on my turn. 2 artifacts and one other creature that inherently increase the power of Sam's trigger. Boardwipes that are super one-sided choices (each one hits a maximum of 9 out of my 39 creature list), a bunch of tutors, and even a backup line in case Sam dies too many times.

Primary line is have Sam, one doubler, Academy Manufactor and either Jaheira, Friend of the Forest or Krark-Clan Ironworks in play. Any creature entering will generate two each of food, clue, and treasure. Jaheira can tap the clues and foods for green and then use the trasures for white to cast whatever creature you have. Only 8 creatures in the list have a cmc higher than 4, so this is pretty much mana positive. KCI adds a layer of inevitability by letting you sac a food for the 2 mana necessary for cracking a clue. On top of that, Glimpse of Nature is one of my included draw spells. This will allow you to cast your entire deck and win with Aetherflux Reservoir.

Backup win 1: Ashaya, Soul of the Wilds, either Tireless Provisioner or Tireless Tracker, Manufactor, one doubler, and either KCI or Jaheira. This setup will have the same effect as the previous one, allowing a cast of the entire deck. Since Ashaya makes all of your creatures Forests, they trigger landfall. allowing Ashaya and one of the tireless duo to sub in for Sam.

Backup win 2: If your attempt to storm off fizzles, Delney, Streetwise Lookout and Jolrael, Mwonvoli Recluse are a good combo. Even the fizzled storm turn usually ends with 20ish cards in hand, so attack each opponent with 2-3 creatures, which they can't block because of Delney. Then respond before damage by activating Jolrael to make them all massive for a pseudo Craterhoof effect.
