Saruman the white hand amass orcs by user1041039

Commander: Saruman, the White Hand

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Grixis spellslinger/amass deck centered on Saruman, the White Hand. Every noncreature spell grows an Orc Army while cantrips dig to the next spell. The deck can win by crashing through with a huge Army, but its cleanest finish is a massive Chandra's Ignition, preferably doubled by Solphim. A secondary burn package-Longshot, Guttersnipe, Fiery Inscription-turns the spell chain into direct damage. Saruman the White, Roaming Throne, and Wizard's Staff multiply amass triggers. The manabase is heavy on fast colored lands but light on ramp, so assembly takes a few turns; tutors keep the plan consistent. The commander is the engine, but several alternate payoff cards provide a second axis.
