Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Dimir Wraith tribal deck helmed by Lord of the Nazgul, built around casting instants and sorceries to generate a swarm of 3/3 Wraith tokens with menace. The Ring-tempts-mechanism, present on nine copies of Nazgul and several other cards, pumps all Wraiths with +1/+1 counters, and once you control nine or more Wraiths, Lord of the Nazgul makes them all 9/9 until end of turn. The primary win condition is overwhelming combat damage from a massive, evasive Wraith army. Secondary paths include copying key creatures with spells like Quasiduplicate and Echocasting Symposium, or using Helm of the Host and Mirror Box to generate multiple nonlegendary copies of Lord of the Nazgul for exponential token production. The deck controls the board with a dense suite of counterspells, instant-speed removal, and a handful of board wipes, while drawing heavily through Rhystic Study and The One Ring.
