Hosts of Mordor - Tales of Middle-earth Commander by HabitHavoc

Format: Commander

Commander: Sauron, Lord of the Rings

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Grixis reanimator-amass build led by Sauron, Lord of the Rings. The primary plan is to leverage Sauron's cast trigger-amass Orcs 5, mill five, reanimate a creature-to create a 9/9 Army plus a free threat, then close with extra-combat dragons. Saruman, the White Hand and Sauron, the Dark Lord (the hidden commander in the 99) generate armies and card advantage. Secondary paths: Living Death mass-reanimation, Shelob/Hostage Taker theft, and Desolate Lighthouse/looting to fill the graveyard. The commander is an engine and finisher, but the deck still functions if he is answered.
