    Great deck. I was building something very similar. Couple includes for me is call of the ring and changeling outcast for a unblockable army.

      I had Call of the Ring in the original, but I didn’t want extra card draw due to Sauron ability.

    Sorin is a vampire planeswalker. This guy is SAURON. Like, SOW (as in 'OW, I stubbed my toe!") and RON (as in the red headed kid from Harry Potter).

    I'm probably going to cut one of the less needed ramp pieces for the Grixis Saruman. With that adjustment, there will still be 37 noncreature spells in the deck, which I think is worth it. Otherwise, this is a great deck. I'll probably also try and find a place for Archfiend of Ifnir and Bone Miser.

    Thoughts on working in a Grave Pact and/or Braids, Arisen Nightmare? If one of the goals is to sack 1/1 Orc Armies Grave Pact would help fill your opponents graveyard for a late game Rise of the Dark Realms and Braids does either the same thing (if they choose to sack a creature) or pings them and gives you card draw in the worst case scenario.

    Technically the ninth Nazgûl is the leader of them, witch king of Angmar, so rocking 8 of them in a deck isn’t too bad, I’d just say the ninth one is the witch king. He comes with his own unique art too so

  • @SonAlexander

    sorry to ask, im new to the game and recently i started making a sauron deck.... How does Goblin Bombardment interacts with the other cards to "Pop" other creatures while making more orcs or wraiths or zombies.
    Another thing... When you amass orcs 3, and you put the dice on 3... does that mean you have 3 Orcs? and can sacrifice 3 "Creatures" with bombardment and "pop" that many opponent creatures?

    When you amass orcs you only create a New token Creature if you dont have an army. If you have you only put +1/+1 on that one, só you dont have a lot of orcs to sacrifice. Just one

    Also want to point out, stuff like Sauron's Ransom and Ringsight are nonbos with this commander. For Ransom, it doesn't matter what they give you, because once the ring tempts you, you're have to discard it anyways. Same with Ringsight. You'll have the ring tempt you, so Sauron's ability will go on the stack once this ability resolves, and whatever card you tutored up... it's discarded.

    If I’m not mistaken, you seem to be under the impression that to activate the Ward ability of Sauron, the owner of Sauron must sacrifice something. I was under the impression ward works the opposite way, due to the language of the description, specifically the modification of “that player” with “an opponent controls.”
    If I’m wrong please let me know, thanks.

      I have invested bit of my deckslot on making advantage of discarding and drawing so much and so often.
      I had the classic wheel cards like [[Windfall]], [[Whispering Madness]] along with [[Waste Not]].
      cards like [[Bone Miser]], and [[Rielle, the Everwise]] gives more advantage for discarding,
      and [[Chasm Skulker]], [[Toothy, Imaginary Friend]], and [[The Locust God]] provides advantage upon drawing tons of cards. (also makes a quite versitile board state as well)
      In trade of these cards, I had to take out the Nazguls and Wraith related cards from my deck.
      What are your thoughts about these choices?
      also I recommand cards like [[Ozolith]], and [[The Golden Throne]]
      Both of them are legendary artifact to enable [[Mount Doom]] and works with the decks synergy quite well.
