Commander: Sauron, the Dark Lord

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Sauron, the Dark Lord leads a Grixis amass/ring deck. The primary plan is to grow a single Orc Army with amass triggers from Saruman, the White Hand and spell-heavy turns, then use Sauron's Ring-tempt discard-and-draw to refuel and find the finisher. Secondary paths go wide through Lord of the Nazgul and Wraiths, and close with Isengard Unleashed tripling damage or Mordor on the March storm copies. There is no hidden commander; the deck is built to use both Sauron's early amass trigger on opponents' spells and his late-game draw engine.
