Deck overview

This deck is a Grixis Midrange Control strategy built around Sauron, the Dark Lord and the nine Nazgûl. The early game focuses on ramping through two-mana rocks and deploying efficient interaction or deathtouch blockers to keep the board stable. Sauron typically enters on Turn 5, immediately deterring opponents from casting spells due to his amass Orcs trigger while protecting himself with an onerous legendary-sacrifice Ward cost. Once active, connecting with an Army filters the hand into four fresh cards per turn, sustaining a relentless stream of interaction and threats. The deck closes games through scaling combat pressure from massive Orc Armies and exponentially buffed Nazgûl, punctuated by late-game haymakers like Breach the Multiverse and Rise of the Dark Realms. While resilient against targeted removal, the deck is vulnerable to non-creature stack combos and board sweepers that bypass Ward.
