Sauron draft by Vuilnisbeer2

Format: Commander

Commander: Sauron, the Dark Lord

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Grixis reanimator/control built around Sauron, the Dark Lord. Sauron turns opponent spells into amassing Orc Armies, and every Ring temptation can become 'discard hand, draw four,' filling the graveyard while churning into tutors and reanimation. The deck wins by cheating out heavy threats-Razaketh, Sauron, Lord of the Rings, Toxrill, Hullbreaker Horror-and assembling Hullbreaker + Sol Ring for infinite mana. That loop bounces all nonland permanents and funds a Rise of the Dark Realms / Expropriate kill. Free counterspells, sweepers, and targeted removal keep the table from interacting while the engine comes online. Backup beats come from hasty Balrogs, amass tokens, and There and Back Again treasures.
