Deck overview

This deck is a thematic Grixis Midrange strategy built around Sauron, the Dark Lord, the nine Nazgûl, and the Ring-tempting mechanic. The game plan focuses on deploying early artifact ramp to cast Sauron by Turn 4 or 5. Once on the battlefield, Sauron passively generates Orc Army tokens whenever opponents cast spells. When an Army connects with a player, the Ring tempts you, triggering Sauron's ability to discard your hand and draw four fresh cards while placing +1/+1 counters on all Wraiths in play. The deck leverages this massive card velocity to fill the graveyard with high-impact creatures and cast devastating mass reanimation spells like Living Death and Rise of the Dark Realms. While Sauron's steep ward cost shields him from single-target removal, the deck relies on incremental combat damage and board-wide attrition to close out the game over multiple turn cycles.
