Deck overview

Sauron, the Dark Lord leads a Grixis Army deck that wins through combat with a single growing Orc Army. Sauron rewards opponents casting spells with amass and rewards your Army dealing damage with Ring tempts that refills your hand. Secondary engines turn that discard into value and board control through Archfiend of Ifnir, Bone Miser, and Monument to Endurance, while All Will Be One converts every +1/+1 counter into direct damage. Saruman, the White Hand, Mauhur, Great Goblin and other amass sources act as hidden commanders that keep the Army growing without Sauron. The deck plays a grindy midrange game, using free counters and removal to protect its board until evasion closes the game.
