Commander: Sauron, the Dark Lord

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck is a Grixis value-midrange build helmed by Sauron, the Dark Lord, leveraging the "Ring tempts you" mechanic and the amass keyword to create an ever-growing army of Orcs and Wraiths. The primary plan involves triggering Ring tempts repeatedly-through nine copies of Nazgul, sagas, instants, and the commander's own combat trigger-to fuel Sauron's ability to discard a hand and draw four cards, generating overwhelming card advantage. A secondary win condition revolves around a massive Army token equipped with The Reaver Cleaver, Mask of Griselbrand, or Shadowspear, then attacking for commander damage or lethal trample damage. All Will Be One can also turn every +1/+1 counter placed into direct burn, finishing off opponents. The deck aims to grind out the table through superior card flow and resilient threats rather than fast combos.
