Saruman, the White Hand
Saruman, the White Hand Commander Deck
Saruman, the White Hand fuels a spell-slinger strategy where casting noncreature spells grows a massive Orc Army token through amass, while simultaneously flooding the board with a wide array of creature tokens from enchantments and permanents that trigger on each noncreature spell cast. The Army is then empowered by lords like Mauhúr, Uruk-hai Captain, who adds an extra counter whenever counters are placed, and Luxior, Giada's Gift, which turns the counter-laden Army into a fearsome attacker that scales with every spell cast. The deck wins by attacking with a colossal Army supported by a wide token board, using evasion enablers, trample, and menace grants across the Orc and Goblin tribe to push through lethal damage.
