Saruman Daenan downgrade (copy)
Format: Commander
Commander: Saruman the White
Bracket: 3
Deck overview
A Grixis amass/spellslinger deck that treats 'the Army' as a single growing resource. The primary plan is to make the Army enormous through Saruman the White's second-spell trigger, Dreadhorde Invasion, Warg Rider, and assorted amass spells, then close with sacrifice-damage outlets or Chandra's Ignition. Saruman, the White Hand in the 99 functions as a hidden commander, amassing on every noncreature spell and granting ward. The backup plan is a spell-copying value engine with Thousand-Year Storm and Storm-Kiln Artist, occasionally finishing through Aetherflux Reservoir. The deck is interactive but not fast; its wins are all built on a single vulnerable Army.
