Kovacs's Saruman of Many Colors by Stariron05

Format: Commander

Commander: Saruman of Many Colors

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is an Esper spells-matter mill-control deck built around Saruman of Many Colors. The primary plan is to grind the table down with cumulative milling - Fractured Sanity, Cut Your Losses, Glimpse the Unthinkable, and Saruman's second-spell trigger - while an instant-speed interaction shell keeps opponents from winning first. Syr Konrad, the Grim and Duskmantle Guildmage convert the volume of milled cards into table-wide life loss, and a Spell Crumple + Tunnel Vision line can delete an entire library. Laboratory Maniac offers a secondary self-mill finish. Saruman acts as a force multiplier rather than a required combo piece: he mills two per opponent on the second spell of a turn and can copy a cheap instant, sorcery, or enchantment from a graveyard, but the 99 can execute the same mill game without him.
