Deck overview

This Orzhov Voltron deck harnesses Frodo, Sauron's Bane and the Ring Temptation mechanic to bypass 40-life totals entirely. By casting Frodo on Turn 1 and paying his cumulative leveling costs ({W/B}{W/B} then {B}{B}{B}), the deck transforms him into a lethal assassin who eliminates opponents on combat contact once the Ring has tempted you four times. A redundant package of 9 Nazgûl and Call of the Ring rapidly accelerates the Ring count, while equipment tutors find unblockability tools like Bilbo's Ring and Whispersilk Cloak. Because Frodo must connect three separate times to finish the table, the deck surrounds him with top-tier protective equipment (Mithril Coat), defensive creatures (Vexilus Praetor), and efficient removal (Swords to Plowshares, Deadly Rollick). The strategy executes a linear, highly resilient one-player-per-turn clock.
