50 Rings For Opposing Commanders by GulliasTurtle

Format: Commander

Commander: Sauron, the Lidless Eye

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Rakdos theft-and-reanimator deck built around Sauron, the Lidless Eye. The primary plan is to steal opposing creatures through Sauron, theft spells, and pirates, then sacrifice them into draw and drain triggers from Agent Venom, Midnight Reaper, Priest of Forgotten Gods, and Sauron's own activated ability. In parallel, the deck recurs value bodies with Chainer, Nightmare Shepherd, Kethek, Victimize, and skeleton reanimation, converting death triggers into a wide board. Greven, Predator Captain is the closest thing to a hidden commander: he turns sacrifice-lost life into cards and menace damage. The deck has no infinite combo; it wins by grinding out opponents with repeated theft, cards, and commander-pumped combat.
