Mill by Dokk

Format: Commander

Commander: Saruman of Many Colors

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Saruman of Many Colors leads an Esper mill-and-reanimate deck. The main plan is to resolve Bruvac the Grandiloquent and turn a single big mill spell (kicked Maddening Cacophony, Overture, or Fractured Sanity) into a one-shot win. Behind that sits Saruman's second-spell trigger, which copies enemy instants/sorceries and grinds value. Secondary lines are Syr Konrad plus The Mindskinner and the mass-reanimation package (Breach, Rise, Extract), which converts filled graveyards into an army. Bruvac functions as the hidden commander: doubling mill is what changes chip damage into a kill. The deck can still operate without Saruman, but his copy engine is the main reason every second spell matters.
