Sauron army by Gintato888

Format: Commander

Commander: Sauron, the Dark Lord

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Grixis Sauron deck plays a midrange value game built around the Ring tempts mechanic. Sauron, the Dark Lord generates an Orc Army whenever opponents cast spells and draws four cards when the Ring tempts you and you discard your hand. The deck fills the graveyard with Ripples of Undeath, surveil lands, and Buried Alive, then reanimates large threats like The Balrog of Moria, Witch-king, and Sheoldred. Secondary paths use mass reanimation with Living Death and Rise of the Dark Realms or drain with Gray Merchant of Asphodel. No infinite combo exists; wins come from combat with hasty demons and Army damage plus incremental drain.
