Sauron, the Dark Lord
Sauron, the Dark Lord Commander Deck
Sauron, the Dark Lord generates an ever-growing Orc Army token by triggering amass every time any opponent casts a spell, then rewards attacking with that Army by tempting you with the Ring. Each Ring temptation can be converted into a full hand refill by discarding and drawing four, making the deck want to attack repeatedly while opponents naturally continue casting spells. The gameplan centers on protecting Sauron through his punishing ward cost, scaling the Army to a threatening size, and leveraging consistent card advantage through combat to out-resource opponents over time.
