Deck overview

This Esper deck is a midrange spells-and-graveyard shell built around Saruman of Many Colors. His second-spell trigger mills each opponent and then casts a copy of an opposing enchantment, instant, or sorcery, turning every cheap cantrip into card advantage. The deck supports that engine with amass payoffs (Saruman the White, Gothmog, March from the Black Gate) and Wraith generation from Lord of the Nazgul. A parallel Ring-tempt plan can turn Frodo, Sauron's Bane into a one-hit kill after four tempts. Recursion and theft fill graveyards, while counterspells and removal protect the plan. There is no compact combo; games end through an evasive Frodo hit, a huge Army, or a critical mass of Wraiths.
