Deck overview

This is a Grixis midrange value deck helmed by Sauron, the Dark Lord, built around the amass mechanic and the Ring tempts engine. The core loop: cast Sauron, grow an Orc Army off his amass trigger (every opponent spell adds a counter), swing to trigger the Ring, then discard your hand to draw four. The deck supports this with a dense sacrifice-draw package (Deadly Dispute, Nasty End, Corrupted Conviction), a reanimation suite (Buried Alive into Victimize/Dread Return/Infernal Offering) to cheat out haymakers like Smaug, Wicked Worm, Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant, Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh, and Zodiark, Umbral God, and a drain package (Ayara, First of Locthwain, Perforating Artist, Witty Roastmaster, Massacre Wurm) for inevitability. It wins through a combination of a massive Army, table-wide drain, and reanimated threats rather than any fast combo.
