Format: Commander

Commander: Saruman of Many Colors

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Saruman of Many Colors is a graveyard-thieving mill control commander. The primary plan is to ramp, cast Saruman, and then make two spells each turn: his trigger mills two per opponent and lets you copy a matching instant, sorcery, or enchantment from a graveyard for free. Secondary paths are the compact Bruvac + Maddening Cacophony/Jidoor mill-out and the Duskmantle Guildmage + Mindcrank drain loop, with Syr Konrad, Breach the Multiverse, and the Primordials as backup damage/reanimation. The commander is a value engine rather than a combo piece; Bruvac is the de facto hidden piece. The deck is midrange and durdly, with a tapped/conditional land base that keeps it from being fast.
