The only correct answer is Sam, Son of Hamfast. Great Elf Warrior.

12 chances at improving Sam and Decipher couldn't get it right?

No contest.

[Kenddrick]

Sam, Great Elf Warrior
Sam, Son of Hamfast.

Great Elf Warrior was chosen based on his strength bonus, while Son of Hamfast gives good burden removal, and the option of saving the game if Frodo dies.

1. Sam, Proper Poet
2. Sam, Son of Hamfast
3. Sam, Great Elf Warrior

The Poet and the Warrior have the Gandalf Signet and are great in a Trust Me deck.

The ability to make Sam, Proper Poet defender +1 i combination with Trust Me As You Once Did has saved me quite some times.

I'm going with Sam, Needer of Vittles probably the best picture of him. Sam, Loyal Friend has that look of "Did you just fart master Frodo, or is that the rabbit stew?" 

[Pepin The Breve]

Define "best" and i can give some opinion 

If best is in term of gameplay (at least in movie block where i'm most familiar with) i would go with Sam, SoH. He is one of the most common (if not the most) splash in decks. He is the supreme counter to corruption and burdening (keep him alive and give him healing and your opponent will have to add like 5 burdens per site to get you) and allows some decks to abuse "add a burden to...". I think that EVERY one of my non-shire decks have at least one copy of him.

Sam, GEW may be the best in hobbit decks but not close to flexibility of aplication as SoH.

[Cw0rk]

I only chose two.

Sam, GEW
Sam, SoH

Looks like I'm not the only one.

[Elessar's Socks]

1. Sam, Son of Hamfast
2. Sam, Proper Poet
3. Sam, Great Elf Warrior

P.S. I see what you did there, Sour Fruit.

I know his mind better than he does. Plus its blindingly obvious... even if you don't agree as well!

No way. Sam, Bearer of Great Need is by faar the best Sam pic. The whole card is artistically beautiful, and the subtitle works awesome with that pic.

[SomeRandomDude]

GEW definitely. I mean, duh. Westfarthing Businessman with tokens aplenty to boot.

I don't know he is all dirty in that pic of course that gives him a certain characteristic of not posing hmmm I think your right 

[legolas3333]
