Sauron, the Dark Lord
Sauron, the Dark Lord Commander Deck
Sauron, the Dark Lord sits at the helm of an Orc tribal strategy built around the amass mechanic, using every spell opponents cast to continuously stack counters onto a single massive Army token that grows into an overwhelming threat. The deck floods the board with Orc creatures and tokens through tribal synergies and token generation spells, with amass effects from multiple sources accelerating the Army's growth while repeated combat damage with that Army triggers the Ring temptation to refuel your hand by discarding and drawing four cards. The primary combo win condition uses Fall of Cair Andros alongside a board wipe that deals massive damage to creatures, piling infinite plus-one-plus-one counters onto the Army for a lethal attack.
