Army of the dark lord by BloddyAtlas

Format: Commander

Commander: Sauron, the Dark Lord

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Grixis amass-tempt deck that wins by turning a single Army into an unstoppable attacker. Sauron, the Dark Lord is the primary engine: he amasses Orcs whenever an opponent casts, and Ring tempts let him discard and draw four, keeping the hand full. The functional hidden commander is Saruman, the White Hand, which turns every noncreature spell into a second amass trigger and grants ward. Secondary paths include Sauron, Lord of the Rings for big amass/recursion, Dire Fleet Ravager to compress life totals, and assault-style spells for a haste/double-strike finish. The deck has no combo; it wins through incremental Army growth, card advantage, and graveyard-fed evasion from Wonder and Anger.
