Orc Horde by Dlhhlv

Format: Commander

Commander: Saruman, the White Hand

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Saruman, the White Hand commands a Grixis spellslinger shell that converts every noncreature spell into an increasingly lethal Orc Army while granting ward protection to your forces. The deck develops mana rocks early, lands Saruman, and chains cantrips, interaction, and high-impact sorceries to rapidly grow a massive single threat. Primary win conditions center on aggressive combat utilizing extra combats from World at War and Aggravated Assault, backed by evasion like Bria, Riptide Rogue and trample from Orcish Siegemaster. Secondary paths leverage explosive burn from Guttersnipe, Fiery Inscription, and Bolas's Citadel, supplemented by time magic from Time Warp and Temporal Trespass to overwhelm all three opponents sequentially.
