Deck overview

This is a Dimir spellslinger-tribal list helmed by Lord of the Nazgul. The plan is to resolve the 5-mana commander, then chain cheap instants and sorceries so each spell leaves behind a 3/3 menace Wraith. Once nine Wraiths are in play, they become 9/9s until end of turn and a single combat can end the table. A full set of nine Nazgul supports that clock: every ETB tempts the Ring and puts a +1/+1 counter on each Wraith you control. The rest of the 99 is cantrips, counters, and cheap removal, so almost every spell both interacts and makes a body. There are no infinite combos. Wins come from combat, with Raise the Palisade bouncing everything that is not a Wraith and Wonder in the graveyard giving the team flying. Archmage Emeritus, Kindred Discovery, and The One Ring keep the hand full. The commander is the primary token engine rather than a tutor or draw piece; the Nazgul package and control suite still play if he is answered, but the swarm plan does not.
