Commander: Saruman, the White Hand

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Saruman, the White Hand leads a Grixis spellslinger control deck that wins by growing a single Orc Army. Every noncreature spell amasses counters equal to its mana value, and ward 2 on Goblins and Orcs protects the Army. Doublers like Harmonic Prodigy, Veyran, Voice of Duality and Wizard's Staff double those triggers, while Shark Typhoon creates additional flying Sharks on each spell. The deck controls the table with 38 interaction pieces and 14 draw engines, then closes with a large Army swung through Rogue's Passage or burned out with Chandra's Ignition. Mizzix's Mastery and Storm-Kiln Artist provide secondary value and treasure acceleration.
