Format: Commander

Commander: Saruman, the White Hand

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Grixis deck builds one massive Orc Army and wins through combat. Saruman, the White Hand turns every noncreature spell into +1/+1 counters, while passive engines like March from the Black Gate, Warg Rider, and Barad-dur grow the Army each turn. The plan is to make the Army tall, protect it with ward 2 and equipment, then give it haste, double strike, trample or unblockable to eliminate opponents one by one. Secondary paths use counter payoffs such as All Will Be One and The Great Goblin to turn amass into direct damage, and a two-card one-shot with Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought plus Pain for All. Sauron, the Dark Lord acts as a hidden value commander, drawing cards and adding amass.
