Deck overview

This is a Grixis amass Orcs + "the Ring tempts you" tribal deck helmed by Sauron, the Dark Lord. The core plan is to cast Sauron, leverage his ward to tax removal, and let his "whenever an opponent casts a spell, amass Orcs 1" trigger grow a single massive Army. When that Army connects, the Ring tempts you, and Sauron converts it into a discard-your-hand-and-draw-four engine that fuels the whole game. Secondary wins come from Lord of the Nazgul turning a Wraith swarm into 9/9s, Shared Animosity pumping the tribal board, Mirkwood Bats draining on token creation/sacrifice, and Mount Doom's direct damage. The deck is a midrange value pile with a dense draw suite, a solid interaction package, and no infinite combos - it wins through incremental Army/Wraith beatdown and drain.
