Grima's Hobbit Commander by Psyga315

Format: Commander

Commander: Gríma, Saruman's Footman

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir tempo and theft control strategy led by Grima, Sarumans Footman. Grima leverages unblockable combat damage to cast instant and sorcery spells directly from opponents libraries without paying mana costs. The core game plan revolves around controlling the board through efficient creature removal, counterspells, and sacrifice effects while accumulating card advantage. Without dedicated infinite combos, the deck wins through long-term incremental advantage, stealing high-impact opposing threats, draining life via The Sackville-Bagginses and Gollum the Abandoned, and applying continuous evasive pressure with Grima, large flyers like Witch-king of Angmar, and unblockable attackers.
