The Hosts of Mordor
Sauron, Lord of the Rings Commander Deck
Sauron, Lord of the Rings anchors a reanimation and amass strategy that builds a massive Orc Army token while recurring powerful creatures from the graveyard, accelerated by self-mill effects and flashback spells that fill the graveyard with fuel. The deck generates multiple threats simultaneously by growing the Army through noncreature spells via Saruman, the White Hand, while also flooding the board with Wraith tokens from instant and sorcery casts through Lord of the Nazgûl. The deck wins through combat pressure from an overwhelmingly large Army, an army of evasive Wraiths, or by stealing opponents' creatures outright through control-theft effects tied to the Ring mechanic and board wipes that leverage graveyard recursion like Living Death.
