Deck overview

This deck is a Grixis Spellslinger Midrange strategy piloted by Saruman, the White Hand. It focuses on casting cheap noncreature spells, removal, and card filtering to rapidly build a massive Orc Army token while granting it ward {2}. The game plan transitions into lethal territory around Turn 5 by granting the Army evasion through Orcish Siegemaster, amplifying damage with Fiery Inscription and The Great Goblin, or wiping opposing creatures with Widespread Brutality. It carries a robust reactive interaction suite of low-cost counterspells and efficient removal that double as offensive triggers for Saruman. If the commander is removed, the deck easily pivots to Krenko, Mob Boss or tribal Goblin/Orc synergy to swarm the board.
