Sauron Undead Horde by pheno

Format: Commander

Commander: Sauron, the Dark Lord

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Grixis amass/temptation deck helmed by Sauron, the Dark Lord. The primary game plan is to build a large Army token through repeated amass triggers, then attack with it to trigger the Ring, which in turn triggers the commander's ability to discard your hand and draw four cards. This creates a powerful card-advantage loop that fuels further amass spells, removal, and recursion. The deck also leverages extra combat steps via Scourge of the Throne to chain attacks and close out games quickly. Secondary win conditions include reanimating large threats like Sauron, Lord of the Rings or The Balrog of Moria and overwhelming opponents with a wide board of Wraith tokens from Lord of the Nazgul. The deck is heavily themed around the Lord of the Rings set and relies on a mix of combat inevitability and value generation rather than infinite combos.
