Sauron, the Dark Lord

Sauron, the Dark Lord Commander Deck

Sauron, the Dark Lord helms a graveyard-based reanimator strategy that fills the bin through looting, self-mill, and discard effects, then cheats massive threats into play with reanimation spells. The deck sustains card advantage by repeatedly tempting the Ring through combat with its ever-growing Orc Army token, discarding and redrawing four cards each time. The primary win condition is the Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Triskelion combo, which generates infinite damage, while the reanimation package can also close games by repeatedly recurring overwhelming creatures like Archon of Cruelty.
