Commander: Sauron, the Dark Lord

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Grixis reanimator deck with a Lord of the Rings shell. The commander, Sauron, the Dark Lord, is primarily a discard-into-draw four engine and a 7/6 finisher, while the actual game plan is to bin large legendary threats-Archon of Cruelty, Valgavoth, Jin-Gitaxias, and the hidden payoff Sauron, Lord of the Rings-and reanimate them for cheap. The deck uses Entomb/Buried Alive, cheap reanimation, and Anger in the graveyard to get haste. Secondary plans are generating an Army via amass and using Toxrill/Sheoldred to stall. It has no combo finish and relies on evasive combat damage to close out games.
