Tempting Strikes by SrumeNecro

Format: Commander

Commander: Frodo, Sauron's Bane

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Orzhov deck aims to turn Frodo, Sauron's Bane into an unblockable, protected commander-kill threat while rapidly accumulating Ring tempts. The primary plan is to empower Frodo with evasion (shadow, fear, skulk, or unblockable effects), protect him with hexproof/indestructible/protection, and close with his third-mode alternative win once the Ring has tempted you four or more times. Secondary paths include draining or attacking with a growing Wraith army (Nazgul) or overloading with the witch-king and mass pump. The commander doubles as finisher and tempo tool; the deck is built around the Rogue mode, using the early Citizen/Scout modes mainly to set up the fourth temptation.
