Army

Format: Commander

Commander: Saruman, the White Hand

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

The deck is a Grixis amass build centered on Saruman, the White Hand: every noncreature spell grows a single Army token while Saruman grants Goblins and Orcs ward 2. The primary plan is to make that Army huge through repeated amass triggers, then push damage with Rogue's Passage, Assault on Osgiliath, or trample from Orcish Siegemaster. Secondary paths include goblin swarm via Krenko, drain from The Great Goblin, and theft/recursion through Geyadrone Dihada and Sauron. There is no hidden commander; Saruman the White in the 99 acts as a backup amass engine. The deck wins by combat, grinding through 120 total life.
