Orc Army by user9752760

Format: Commander

Commander: Saruman, the White Hand

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The deck is a Grixis amass/spellslinger build around Saruman, the White Hand. Its primary plan is to chain noncreature spells-especially high-mana-value wipes, X sorceries, and copy effects-so every cast makes a single Army token larger, then finish through trample/menace attacks. Secondary paths use drain triggers such as Mirkwood Bats and The Great Goblin, with creature recursion through Dread Return and Shelob for grind value. Saruman is the engine, not a combo piece; the 99's Saruman the White and Storm of Saruman are support copies, not a hidden commander. The realistic win is repeated huge Army attacks; the main registered combo is Blasphemous Act plus Fall of Cair Andros, converting a wipe into one more Army-size boost.
