Sauron, the Dark Lord: High Power EDH Deck Tech // Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth

[@punkypinko2965]

"Whenever an opponent casts a spell, amass Orcs 1" seems crazy fun.

[@PubStompMTG]

Very true, im excited to see how it plays out!

[@Gibst69]

My pod hates it because they hate getting hit with 40/40 orc boyz

[@finnmchugh99]

It's like a orc smothering tithe imo

[@operativotrex]

You can also use phyrexian altar and a lot of 1 mana disruption spells since trying to stop you will just amass 1 again repeating the process.

[@PubStompMTG]

Good point! May consider putting that one in.Thanks for the suggestion!

[@hollowedheralds3332]

Playing it in arena, it most certainly is

[@user-yt4bq6jb5s]

amass orc has a text saying "it's also an orc." which can. turn a zombie army into an orc in addition to it which can bring awesome combos from zombie cards that work around it.

[@Iguanazilla69]

Nice! I saw on your list that you put in doomsday. That works out kinda nice with sauron drawing 4 cards

[@PubStompMTG]

That was my first thought about Sauron, just completely forgot about it😂

[@Logan619ine-i5q]

I could see madness being a really cool them for this deck with all the discarding you can do

[@PubStompMTG]

Oh nice! Madness would work great!

[@echoesvayne9790]

I looked at the madness cards but there aren't a lot worth adding... I haven't gone through all the flashback, escape, and aftermath cards yet, but I don't have a lot of slots left to fill in my deck

[@patrickmarshall7523]

I've been looking for an amass commander for so long and FINALLY it has arrived lol

[@PubStompMTG]

This one is looking too good!

[@taylor_m_237]

You can build on so many ways with this. This is the Grixis Kitchen Sink

[@ameliasnow4336]

Cool synergies you brought up!

[@oneringer6295]

I could see Sauron being a good wheels commander. Slap Orcish Bowmaster in there ans thats the dream team

[@PubStompMTG]

Orcish Bowmaster looks NASTY!

[@bennosal6268]

Hey man I made this deck had the same idea- worldgorger dragon combo gives lethal to opponents with one ring to rule them all and fires of mount doom to name a couple more LoTRs cards

[@PubStompMTG]

Orcish bowmasters works with worldgorger dragon because when it enters the battlefield, it deals one damage to any target

[@bennosal6268]

@@PubStompMTG that’s another one

[@williamaldred335]

I don't mind this version of Sauron we got but I have 2 main gripes with it from a lore stand point. 1, He should have menace(or hell bring back fear just for him), he is despair incarnate, he strikes fear in men just in his mere presence. And 2, why would Sauron be tempted by the ring? The One Ring is his, its a piece of his being. I suppose the idea is supposed to be him offering one of the Rings of Power but still, feels alittle week lore wise.

[@PubStompMTG]

Yeah, I definitely can agree. Most things they have done don't make too much sense with the lore. I just take it as WOTCs version of fan-fiction. I just kinda take it for surface value tbh.

[@AnthonyWhitford]

“The Ring Tempts You” is just the name of the mechanic for game purposes. It’s got nothing to do with the lore. And he does strike fear into opponents, they literally can’t even target him without making a legendary sacrifice.

[@booftoothpick4962]

All will be one works well with Sauron, the number of cards it synergizes with keeps increasing

[@PubStompMTG]

Could be deadly with orcish bowmasters

[@booftoothpick4962]

@PubStomp MTG definitely would, especially with something like city on fire on the board

[@jareddube7021]

You still running this deck? How you liking it at this point if so?

[@PubStompMTG]

Still running it. Love it so much

[@Tylerbrave]

i want to put in mistform creatures into the deck as "army" is a creature type my meme deck is coming alive

[@letrellwilliams5957]

Your awesome! Trying to get into mtg after seeing the Lotr crossover. Maybe gandalf next?

[@PubStompMTG]

Thank you! Ill mostlikely do that in the coming weeks!

[@letrellwilliams5957]

@@PubStompMTG awesome! Do you think Sauron would be a good 1st commander deck?

[@PubStompMTG]

@letrellwilliams5957 it eould definitely be a fun one, but prepare to be the archenemy of the table 😂

[@gene319]

you guys are great please keep up the work what are the cards you would cut to add the nazghul in them

[@PubStompMTG]

Thanks, I appreciate it! The ones i would probably cut down would be some of the counterspells here and there. Also, maybe some of the mana rocks like the talismans

[@michaelschatte4434]

i play this Deck only with cards from lord of the rings plus Box Topper!

[@thebeestamvs]

You can provide a deck build? I made that deck yesterday but i didnt tested yet. I want to do a thematic deck.

[@odoacredacalcutta5085]

ah, Sauron, the dork lord

[@PubStompMTG]

😂👌

[@MAGWAII]

I wanna build this but I feel Bel La Kor is just better than Sauron. Easy demon theme and just reanimate them via discard cards and pop off with that commander with draw and demon warstorm triggers.

[@PubStompMTG]

I feel like both of them are doing different things tbh. Belakor is dealing damage, while Sauron is more aristocrats with making army tokens. But they do both draw cards in their own way

[@travislehenbauer4472]

have a deck list?

[@PubStompMTG]

In the description👍

[@andresavila1263]

The deck list in the link is completely different from the one in the video. 😢

[@PubStompMTG]

It's because it's my specific deck that i have made and I've updated it since

[@andresavila1263]

By any chance would you be able to post the original list aswell? I'm moving my Sauron Deck a little bit away from cedh and you original list had some key elements.

[@blankwyvern9165]

Oh wow this decklist is really expensive lol

[@PubStompMTG]

Not when you proxy!

I want a build with only LOTR cards please.

I do have a video for that. Check out Battle for Middle-Earth Video 👌

How come saw in half is edh legal? Its from a UN set?

[@PubStompMTG]

It doesn't have the acorn symbol on the bottom. That signifies the legality

[@creefolsom8472]

Burning rune demon for 2 Nazguls lmfao

[@PubStompMTG]

Yessss

[@guineapig1016]

Its getting banned

[@PubStompMTG]

Nah i dont think so

[@oDMACo]

With this infinite combo win con. How are you paying the 3 mana to tap mount doom and deal 3 each time it triggers?

[@PubStompMTG]

With the worldgorger Dragon × animate dead combo

[@oDMACo]

Ah ok, so you're floating all the mana from your lands each time the dragon is about to trigger. Sorry, that wasn't clear in the video

[@PubStompMTG]
