Middle-earth Saruman Amass Spellslinger by Plawanski

Format: Commander

Commander: Saruman, the White Hand

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Grixis spells-matter deck built around Saruman, the White Hand as a repeatable amass engine: every noncreature spell grows a single Army. The primary plan is to cast instants, sorceries, and Sagas while protecting one large Army, then kill with commander-sized swings or mass drain from Guttersnipe/Fiery Inscription. The secondary path uses Lord of the Nazgul and Ring-tempt triggers to make Wraiths, plus theft/reanimation effects to borrow opponents' creatures. There is no hidden commander; the adventure half of Glamdring, Foe-hammer // Gleam of Death supports the same plan by filling the graveyard and discounting spells.
