Sauron, the Dark Lord
Sauron, the Dark Lord Commander Deck
Sauron, the Dark Lord sits at the center of a strategy that continuously grows an Orc Army token by triggering amass whenever opponents cast spells, then swings that Army into players to repeatedly tempt the Ring and refuel with a full four-card draw. The deck supports this gameplan with a wide suite of Orc synergies that buff, multiply, and accelerate the Army, alongside counterspells and removal to keep Sauron on the battlefield and opponents' threats in check. The One Ring and In the Darkness Bind Them provide additional Ring-tempting engines, while cards like March from the Black Gate and Fall of Cair Andros threaten to end games by leveraging the ever-growing Army token and the evasion and power bonuses accumulated through the Ring's escalating effects.
