Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Grixis midrange and reanimator strategy commanded by Sauron, the Dark Lord. It accelerates mana through efficient rocks and dark rituals to deploy its commander or reanimate devastating threats such as Archon of Cruelty and Ancient Copper Dragon by Turn 4. Once operational, Sauron amasses an Orc Army whenever opponents cast spells. Connecting with an Army triggers the Ring tempts mechanic, allowing you to discard your hand and draw four fresh cards. This recurring card flow fuels continuous graveyard recursion, token generation through Lord of the Nazgûl and Nazgûl, and devastating sweepers like Chandra's Ignition. Built-in protection via Sauron's legendary sacrifice ward, backed by free and low-cost counterspells, shields your board state while you close out the table through heavy combat damage across Turns 6 and 7.
