Deck overview

This is a LOTR-themed Wraith tribal deck helmed by Lord of the Nazgul, blending token generation, combat inevitability, and the "Ring tempts you" mechanic. The primary plan is to cast a critical mass of instants and sorceries to create 3/3 black Wraith tokens with menace via the commander, then leverage the nine copies of Nazgul and other Wraiths to build a wide board. Once you control nine or more Wraiths, the commander's second ability makes all Wraiths 9/9 base power and toughness, turning the swarm into an overwhelming combat threat. The deck also packs reanimation, selective board wipes, and a solid draw suite to fuel the spell-slinging engine. Secondary win conditions include commander damage through Rogue's Passage and the incremental life loss from The One Ring and Witch-king of Angmar.
