Sauron's Army by user3168046

Format: Commander

Commander: Sauron, the Dark Lord

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Sauron-based amass and graveyard-reanimation deck built around Sauron's ring-tempt draw loop. Sauron's ward soft-locks removal, while the ring trigger and Army triggers turn discarded hands into four-card draws. The primary plan is to use the Ring-tempt engine to filter into a storm finish: Underworld Breach plus Lion's Eye Diamond and Brain Freeze. Hullbreaker Horror plus Sol Ring is the second engine, powering a big Grapeshot. The fallback is combat, with Lord of the Nazgul and Saruman, the White Hand turning instants and sorceries into Wraiths. Saruman, the White Hand is effectively a hidden commander because most of the noncreature spells drastically grow an Army.
