Sauron by NoWaY17

Format: Commander

Commander: Sauron, the Lidless Eye

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Rakdos aristocrats/reanimation deck helmed by Sauron, the Lidless Eye, designed to generate value through sacrifice, theft, and recursion while draining opponents with Blood Artist effects. The primary game plan involves establishing a sacrifice outlet, deploying a drain engine, and using reanimation spells to repeatedly bring back creatures, grinding out the table. The commander provides immediate theft upon ETB and a finisher activated ability. Secondary win conditions include the commander's direct damage ability and token generation through Molten Echoes and Helm of the Host. The deck leverages two realizable infinite combos to end the game on the spot once assembled.
