Commander: Saruman, the White Hand

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Goblins-matter deck helmed by Saruman, the White Hand, which adds a spell-slinging amass subtheme to the traditional goblin swarm. The primary plan is to generate a wide board of goblin tokens through lords and token-makers like Krenko, Mob Boss and Muxus, Goblin Grandee, then overwhelm opponents via combat damage, Impact Tremors triggers, and Goblin Bombardment pings. Saruman's ability pumps the army token when you cast noncreature spells, and his ward-granting text protects all Goblins and Orcs. The deck does not rely on the commander for its core strategy-it can function at full capacity without ever casting it-and leans on redundancy in token generation and lords to execute its aggressive game plan.
