Deck overview

This is a spell-slinging token deck built around Lord of the Nazgul. It uses cheap unblockable creatures as cipher carriers, turning every hit into a free instant or sorcery cast that also creates a 3/3 Wraith. Copy effects like Spark Double and Irma can double the Lord's trigger, while Talrand, Archmage Emeritus, and Grazilaxx convert each spell into extra bodies and cards. Wrexial and Grima act as secondary spell-stealing engines, but the deck is built entirely around Lord's Wraith trigger. The usual finish is to cross the nine-Wraith threshold, make them 9/9, and distribute lethal damage, though the deck lacks a fast, compact one-turn kill.
