Sauron, the Dark Lord for Deception (My Son's B4 Deck) by TontoplaysMagic

Format: Commander

Commander: Sauron, the Dark Lord

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Sauron, the Dark Lord is a value-control commander who turns every opponent spell into an amassed Army and turns Ring tempts into a four-card draw engine. The primary plan is to ramp into Sauron, weaponize his discard-hand-to-draw-four ability, and win through repeated combat with Sauron and the Army, backed by counters and bounce. Secondary paths are a flicker package using Thassa, Conjurer's Closet, Displacer Kitten, and Archaeomancer to recur extra-turn spells, plus control finishers like Expropriate. Kefka also appears in the 99 as a hidden backup commander. No double-faced commander sits in the command zone.
