Saruman

Format: Commander

Commander: Saruman, the White Hand

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This deck is a Grixis amass-Orcs strategy helmed by Saruman, the White Hand, converting every noncreature spell into Army growth. The primary game plan is to deploy Saruman, then chain instants and sorceries-including amass spells, removal, and wheels-to build a towering Army token, then finish opponents with a damage-doubled Fling effect or a one-sided Chandra's Ignition. The deck also packs a compact draw-lock suite (Narset, Parter of Veils + wheel) and an Underworld Breach recursion engine to generate overwhelming advantage and multiple loops. Secondary win conditions include commander-damage beats from a pumped Saruman and a massive Assault on Osgiliath double-strike attack.
