Deck overview

This deck is a Grixis Midrange strategy centered on Sauron, the Dark Lord and a dedicated package of eight Nazgûl. The game plan focuses on deploying early ramp, casting Sauron on Turn 5, and leveraging his passive Amass ability whenever opponents cast spells. When the Orc Army attacks and connects, it triggers the Ring tempting mechanic, allowing you to discard a spent hand and draw four fresh cards each turn cycle. The scaling power of deathtouch Wraiths creates a formidable combat board, supported by draw punishers like Orcish Bowmasters and Sheoldred, the Apocalypse. High-impact sorceries such as Breach the Multiverse and Rise of the Dark Realms provide massive late-game reach by stealing threats from all graveyards. While Sauron's legendary-sacrifice Ward strongly deters targeted removal, the deck remains vulnerable to untargeted board wipes due to a lack of stack countermagic, closing games across multiple combat rotations around Turn 8.
