Deck overview

This deck is a synergistic Grixis midrange strategy built around Sauron, the Dark Lord. It leverages Sauron's abilities to amass a large Orc Army whenever opponents cast spells, converting combat connections into rapid card draw through the Ring tempts you mechanic. The list integrates Wraith tribal synergies powered by Lord of the Nazgûl and multiple Nazgûl, alongside a robust graveyard reanimation suite featuring Living Death and Reanimate. Early turns focus on accelerating mana and discarding utility creatures like Wonder or Anger to grant flying and haste. Once Sauron resolves, his formidable ward protects him while your army grows. The deck closes games through scaling combat pressure, extra combats from Scourge of the Throne, token drain from Mirkwood Bats, or massive reanimation waves.
