How it plays

Every spell they cast builds your army.

Bracket 3 · Upgraded

  1. Feed the army: card with original art

    1 Feed the army

    Each spell an opponent casts adds an Orc to Sauron's Army, so the table feeds it.

  2. The Ring tempts: card with original art

    2 The Ring tempts

    When an Army connects, the Ring tempts you, and Sauron trades your hand for four new cards.

  3. Grow and hit: card with original art

    3 Grow and hit

    Mauhúr and Orcish Bowmasters grow the Armies; nine Nazgûl grow as the Ring tempts.

About the deck

Grixis Orc Armies built around the table's own spells. Whenever an opponent casts a spell, Sauron amasses an Orc, and when an Army hits, the Ring tempts you and Sauron trades your hand for four fresh cards. Mauhúr, Orcish Bowmasters and nine Nazgûl grow the host, while Toxic Deluge, Blasphemous Act and Mana Drain hold the line. Built from a proven decklist with over 160,000 views and 1,000 likes. The full decklist is in the photos.
