Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Grixis Reanimator strategy commanded by Sauron, the Dark Lord. It fuses traditional graveyard-centric value with token generation and hand cycling. The primary game plan seeks to bypass hefty mana values by dumping terrifying targets like Archon of Cruelty, Vilis, Broker of Blood, and Lord Xander, the Collector directly into the graveyard using Entomb, Buried Alive, or looting spells, followed by rapid reanimation via Reanimate, Animate Dead, or Necromancy. Once established, Sauron, the Dark Lord provides defensive warding and continuously generates Orc Army tokens whenever opponents cast spells. Combat connections with Armies trigger Ring temptations, giving the pilot repeatable, selective hand-refills that churn through the 99. Backed by solid interaction, mass wipes like Toxic Deluge and Living Death, and punishing stax elements like Orcish Bowmasters, the deck steadily dismantles opposing boards before closing out games with overwhelming combat pressure.
