The Dark Lord by PipBoyDelux

Format: Commander

Commander: Sauron, the Dark Lord

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Sauron, the Dark Lord is a Grixis discard and Ring-tempt value deck. You cast Sauron for six mana, build an Orc Army whenever opponents cast spells, then attack to trigger the Ring tempts you and discard your hand to draw four with Bone Miser, Monument to Endurance, and Archfiend of Ifnir payoffs. Nazgul and Orc synergies grow wide boards while Terror of the Peaks turns every token into direct damage. Secondary wins use Devastating Onslaught copying Terror for a one-shot or Hullbreaker Horror plus Sol Ring for infinite bounces and mana. Razaketh acts as hidden commander to tutor the finish.
