Deck overview

Sauron, the Dark Lord leads a Grixis Wraith and Nazgul tribal deck that wins through combat with a growing Orc Army. Sauron amasses Orcs 1 whenever an opponent casts a spell and turns Army combat damage into Ring tempt triggers that let you discard your hand to draw four. The deck runs nine Nazgul that each tempt on entry and put +1/+1 counters on all Wraiths, doubled by Roaming Throne, while Incarnations (Anger, Filth, Wonder) grant haste, swampwalk and flying from the graveyard. Secondary paths use reanimator (Reanimate, Animate Dead, Chainer), All Will Be One to convert counters into direct damage, and drain from Sheoldred and The Meathook Massacre. No infinite combo is present; wins are fair combat and incremental burn.
