9 for the Mortal Men by GamingRamon

Format: Commander

Commander: Lord of the Nazgûl

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Dimir spell-slinger/tribal hybrid built around Lord of the Nazgul. The primary plan is to resolve cheap instants and sorceries to create Wraith tokens, cross the nine-Wraith threshold, and win through a 9/9 army. The commander is both engine and payoff: it makes Wraiths and then converts them into 9/9s once the threshold is met. Secondary paths include overwhelming Drake/Bird tokens from Talrand and Murmuring Mystic, and a Wraith-tribal anthem plan with Coat of Arms and Nazgul Battle-Mace. Sauron, the Necromancer acts as a hidden recursion/beatdown commander, copying fallen creatures as Wraiths, but the deck is built to cast Lord of the Nazgul first.
