Sauron by Zravik

Format: Commander

Commander: Sauron, the Dark Lord

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Sauron, the Dark Lord commands a Grixis midrange deck focused on amass mechanics, Wraith synergies, and the Ring tempts you mechanic. The primary path to victory relies on generating overwhelming combat damage using eight copies of Nazgul, Lord of the Nazgul, and a massive Orc Army token. Connecting in combat with an Army triggers the Ring and allows Sauron to discard your hand and draw four fresh cards each turn. Secondary lines leverage Archfiend of Ifnir to wipe opposing boards via discard triggers, while cards like The Black Gate guarantee evasion against stalled boards to finish off the table.
