Sauron, the Dark Lord v3 by AngelOfLight191

Format: Commander

Commander: Sauron, the Dark Lord

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Grixis Ring-tempt/amass list that turns Sauron's triggered card draw into a grinding advantage and finishes through mass-reanimation or Wheel-based drain. The primary plan is to establish Orcish Bowmasters and Sheoldred, then loop Wheel effects so opponents lose life while Sauron refills the hand. A secondary path uses nine Nazgul plus Living Death: several Nazguls entering at once create a huge stack of ring-tempt triggers that turn every Wraith into a 20+-power attacker. Saruman serves as an alternate amass engine, Razaketh as a tutor, and the graveyard package (Entomb, Buried Alive, Animate Dead) provides resilience. There is no double-faced commander; the Nazgul package is the hidden build-around.
