the dark lord part 2 by BloodyAtlas

Format: Commander

Commander: Sauron, the Dark Lord

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Sauron, the Dark Lord leads a Grixis amass/Orc deck that builds one giant Army token, protects it, and kills through commander damage or Army combat. The commander provides card advantage by discarding and drawing four whenever the Ring tempts you, while Saruman, the White Hand doubles as a hidden commander that amasses on every noncreature spell. The deck also carries a compact Aggravated Assault + The Reaver Cleaver infinite combat combo, with tutors to find it. Secondary paths include Chandra's Ignition, Fling, and Torment of Hailfire. Interaction is strong with free spells and counterspells, and the deck can function without Sauron by relying on Saruman and other amass engines.
