Deck overview

This deck is a Grixis midrange and reanimator strategy centered on Sauron, the Dark Lord. It seeks to deploy efficient mana rocks and discard enablers in the early turns, establishing Sauron on Turn 5. Sauron punishes opponents' spellcasts by amassing a massive Orc Army while deterring spot removal with a steep sacrifice Ward cost. Once combat begins on Turn 6, combat connections trigger the Ring's temptation, allowing Sauron to discard empty or low-value hands to draw four fresh cards each turn cycle. This massive card flow fuels reanimation spells like Living Death, Animate Dead, and Victimize to recur game-ending threats. The deck closes games around Turn 8 through overwhelming combat damage aided by Orcish Siegemaster's trample granting, or via an opportunistic infinite combo with Worldgorger Dragon and Animate Dead.
