Saruman The Stinky by BLK-Gengar

Format: Commander

Commander: Saruman, the White Hand

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Saruman, the White Hand is both engine and finisher: every noncreature spell amasses Orcs, quickly turning a single Army token into a lethal threat. The deck uses high-value noncreature spells such as Summons of Saruman and Foray of Orcs to double up on counters, then gives the Army trample or unblockable and finishes with Port Razer's extra combats. Secondary plans steal opposing boards with Subjugate the Hobbits and In the Darkness Bind Them, or drain life through Mirkwood Bats and Sling-Gang Lieutenant. It is an aggressive midrange build that concentrates its power into one Army and accelerates that plan with a single extra-combat payoff.
