Dead Man's Party (Sauron Reanimator) by Woozie400

Format: Commander

Commander: Sauron, the Dark Lord

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Grixis reanimator and value deck led by Sauron, the Dark Lord. Sauron builds a growing Orc Army whenever opponents cast spells and turns combat damage with that Army into Ring tempt triggers that refill your hand by discarding and drawing four. The deck fills the graveyard quickly, then cheats large Demons and Archons into play for combat and drain wins. Nine Nazgul support the Ring plan and grow together. Vilis, Broker of Blood and Archon of Cruelty act as hidden commanders as repeatable draw and win engines that the deck tutors and reanimates even without Sauron.
