Army of Mordor by Denker85

Format: Commander

Commander: Witch-king, Sky Scourge

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Witch-king, Sky Scourge leads a Rakdos amass/Wraith build that grows an Orc Army and a horde of Nazgul while turning attack phases into huge card-advantage bursts. The primary plan is to stack +1/+1 counters via amass, Mauhur, and Ring tempts, then attack with Wraiths so the commander exiles and plays a large chunk of the deck in one turn. Secondary paths are slower: Havoc Festival as an unanswerable life clock and Sanguine Bond plus lifegain. The deck is a midrange combat engine, not a fast combo deck: it wants to reach six mana, swing with a tall Wraith/Army, and convert extra combats from Scourge of the Throne and Combat Celebrant into lethal multi-combat attacks.
