Sauron, the Dark Lord (LOTR) by SpockLogic

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Grixis Lord of the Rings deck uses Sauron, the Dark Lord to grow an Orc Army while opponents cast spells, turning combat triggers into card advantage via the Ring. A secondary plan driven by Lord of the Nazgul creates a swarm of 3/3 Wraith tokens, further supported by nine Nazgul that pump all Wraiths. Key enablers like Mauhur, Uruk-hai Captain and The Great Goblin multiply counter output and deal direct damage. The deck wins through overwhelming combat damage, either from a single towering Army or a critical mass of Wraiths.
