Ash Nazg Durbatulûk (Sauron, the Dark Lord) by AguyFox

Format: Commander

Commander: Sauron, the Dark Lord

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Grixis reanimator/control deck built around Sauron, the Dark Lord as a discard-and-draw engine. Sauron's Ring-tempt trigger turns each tempt into a fresh four-card hand while filling the graveyard for one of many reanimation spells. Nazgul, Call of the Ring, and Bilbo provide early tempting, and Anger grants haste after Living Death. The secondary path is a slower artifact-treasure beatdown via Smaug, Cavern-Hoard Dragon, and The Reaver Cleaver, with Razaketh tutoring into whichever line is open. Terror of the Peaks plus Devastating Onslaught provides a fair amount of burst, but it is not an efficient loop. No hidden commander is present; My Precious is an Adventure, not a second face.
