Deck overview

This Grixis midrange deck harnesses Sauron, the Dark Lord to turn opponent spellcasts into a growing Orc Army and convert combat damage into continuous hand refills. Supported by nine copies of Nazgûl and Lord of the Nazgûl, the deck combines tribal synergy with the Ring tempting mechanic. Early turns focus on mana rocks and low-curve setup to cast Sauron by Turn 5. Once on the board, Sauron deters single-target removal with his harsh legendary-sacrifice ward while passive amass triggers generate board presence during each opponent's turn. When the Army attacks, the Ring tempts you, triggering Sauron's ability to discard depleted hands and draw four fresh cards. The deck then transitions into a decisive board state by growing Nazgûl, creating 9/9 Wraiths, or deploying massive flying Dragons like Cavern-Hoard Dragon and Smaug, Wicked Worm, finishing the table across Turns 7 and 8 through wide and evasive combat damage.
