Commander: Saruman, the White Hand

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Grixis spellslinger deck leverages Saruman, the White Hand to convert noncreature spells into a massive Orc Army while granting Goblins and Orcs ward 2 for inherent protection. The primary game plan revolves around chaining cheap cantrips, cost reducers, and interaction to steadily grow an enormous Army token and chip away at opposing life totals using burn engines like Guttersnipe, Fiery Inscription, and Coruscation Mage. The deck closes games by delivering lethal combat strikes with Temur Battle Rage, Bulk Up, or Rogue's Passage, or by converting army power directly into noncombat lethal damage using Fling and Soul's Fire.
