Saruman army by Gintato888

Format: Commander

Commander: Saruman, the White Hand

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Grixis spellslinger deck uses Saruman, the White Hand as an amass engine. You cast noncreature spells to grow a single Orc Army, with Saruman adding counters equal to each spell's mana value and giving your Goblins, Orcs and Armies ward 2. Pingers like Guttersnipe, Fiery Inscription and Black Waltz No. 3 turn every instant or sorcery into direct damage, while The Great Goblin adds damage per counter. Secondary wins come from combat with a huge Army made unblockable by Rogue's Passage or The Black Gate, or from finishers like Chandra's Ignition and Soul's Fire that convert Army power into lethal damage. Guttersnipe and Fiery Inscription act as hidden commanders when Saruman is unavailable.
