Commander: Saruman, the White Hand

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Saruman, the White Hand commands a spellslinger control deck that rapidly builds tall threats through the amass mechanic. By casting noncreature spells, Saruman grows a massive Orc Army while granting it ward 2 protection. The deck controls the game state with an extensive suite of modal counterspells, removal, and card advantage before pivoting into lethal combat. Secondary token generators like Young Pyromancer, Murmuring Mystic, and Chrome Host Seedshark provide wide board pressure. The deck closes games either by attacking with an unblockable Army via Rogue's Passage or Corsairs of Umbar, or by converting immense creature power into direct player damage with Soul's Fire and Kazuul's Fury.
