Deck overview

This deck is a Grixis midrange strategy built around Sauron, the Dark Lord, combining the Amass Orcs mechanic with Wraith tribal synergies and Ring-temptation card flow. The primary game plan develops colored mana sources during early turns, resolves Sauron on Turn 5, and leverages opponent spellcasts to build a massive Orc Army token. On Turn 6, combat connections trigger the Ring to filter cards rapidly, digging into high-impact finishers such as Lord of the Nazgûl, Living Death, and Scourge of the Throne. The deck maintains steady pressure through resilient combat damage, supported by seven copies of Nazgûl that grow whenever the Ring tempts you. A versatile interaction suite featuring countermagic, spot removal, and sweepers like Blasphemous Act provides table control while advancing board presence. The deck closes games around Turn 8 through wide evasive combat and overwhelming card advantage.
