Sauron, the Dark Lord

Sauron, the Dark Lord Commander Deck

Sauron, the Dark Lord sits at the helm of a Grixis amass-focused strategy that grows a single Orc Army token larger every time opponents cast spells, then swings that Army in for combat damage to repeatedly trigger the Ring temptation mechanic. Each Ring temptation lets you discard your hand and draw four cards, fueled by counterspells, bounce effects, and hand disruption that keep opponents interacting while you refuel. The deck closes games by making the Army enormous and unblockable through evasion effects, backed by Mount Doom as a targeted sacrifice outlet and All Will Be One converting the steady stream of counters placed on the Army into direct damage to opponents.
