Saruman by user5140120

Format: Commander

Commander: Saruman, the White Hand

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Saruman, the White Hand leads a Grixis spellslinger build that turns every noncreature spell into an amassing Orc Army while cast-trigger payoffs (Black Waltz No. 3, Guttersnipe, Fiery Inscription, Professor Onyx) chip all opponents. The ceiling line is a Thousand-Year Storm turn: rituals create both mana and storm count, then a copied Crackle with Power or Jaya's Immolating Inferno deals lethal damage to all three opponents. If the storm package is denied, Lord of the Nazgul's Wraiths and Kuja's doubled Wizard pings form a solid secondary clock. The commander contributes amass and ward, but the deck's engine is the spell chain itself rather than Saruman.
