Deck overview

Sauron, the Dark Lord leads a Grixis value deck that builds one massive Army token through amass triggers while using the Ring tempts you on its own attack triggers to discard a hand and draw four. The hidden commander is Saruman, the White Hand, who turns every noncreature spell into a growing Army. Secondary paths are Wraith swarms from Lord of the Nazgul, ping damage from The Great Goblin and Fiery Inscription, and reanimation through Living Death, Reanimate, and Sauron, Lord of the Rings. The commander is the draw engine and a 7/6 finisher; the deck wins by turning a huge Army or nine 9/9 Wraiths sideways.
