Dimir control wraiths by Bart2244

Format: Commander

Commander: Lord of the Nazgûl

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Dimir "Wraith storm" midrange deck built around one elegant engine: under Lord of the Nazgul, every instant and sorcery creates a 3/3 black Wraith with menace, and once nine or more Wraiths are on the battlefield the entire team gains base power and toughness 9/9. The 99 leans hard into instant/sorcery density - cantrips, counterspells, and a stack of cost reducers like Baral, Chief of Compliance, Haughty Djinn, and Archmage of Runes - so a single turn can chain several spells, each netting a Wraith. The nine Nazgul are the structural backbone: every copy is itself a Wraith that tempts the Ring and grows the whole army. Talrand, Sky Summoner acts as a secondary commander in the 99. There are no infinite combos; the deck wins through a critical-mass alpha strike, with late-game closers in Rise of the Dark Realms and Fandaniel, Telophoroi Ascian's drain.
