Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Sauron, the Dark Lord leads a Grixis midrange deck combining the Amass Orcs mechanic, Ring temptation triggers, and graveyard reanimation. Sauron creates a growing Army whenever opponents cast spells, and landing combat hits with an Army loots a fresh four-card hand. You control the board using flexible creature removal and sweepers like Toxic Deluge and Blasphemous Act. The primary win conditions rely on overwhelming combat damage through massive evasive Armies, Wraith swarms generated by Lord of the Nazgul, spell-based burn from Fiery Inscription and Guttersnipe, and devastating mass reanimation with Living Death to finish the table.
