Deck overview

This is a Grixis amass-and-spells-matter deck helmed by Saruman, the White Hand. The core loop is to cast noncreature spells to trigger Saruman's amass, growing a single Army token into a massive threat, then finish with fling effects like Chandra's Ignition, Thud, Kazuul's Fury, Soul's Fire, Gravitic Punch, and Essence Harvest, or with Assault on Osgiliath for a double-strike/haste combat kill. A spells-matter subpack - Guttersnipe, Archmage of Runes, Kess, Dissident Mage, Goblin Dark-Dwellers, and Mizzix's Mastery - provides value and reach. Harmonic Prodigy and Wizard's Staff double Saruman's triggers. The deck is a midgame value deck with no infinite combos; it wins by building one enormous Army and pointing it at opponents.
