Format: Commander

Commander: Lord of the Nazgûl

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Lord of the Nazgul is the deck's commander and engine. It uses early ramp and card draw to cast Lord, then turns instants and sorceries into 3/3 Wraiths. Changelings, Black Market Connections, and copy magic push the swarm past nine Wraiths so the commander can pump the whole board to 9/9. The finishing line is to have 15+ Wraiths ready at the start of a turn, cast a cheap spell before combat, and attack for lethal. Secondary paths include Orvar doubling token creation and Grima/Mnemonic Betrayal borrowing spells from opponents. There is no hidden commander; Orvar is the strongest sub-engine, but the deck is built solely around Lord of the Nazgul.
