Sauron, the Dark Lord stands out as a high-profile Grixis commander from the Lord of the Rings set, leaning into amass, discard, and spell-heavy control. Deck techs often emphasize his ability to generate large Army tokens while gaining card advantage whenever opponents discard or sacrifice. He synergizes well with popular wheels, sacrifice outlets, and tempo plays that keep opponents under pressure. Players who enjoy villainous, grindy Grixis gameplans with a big, flavorful payoff commander have embraced Sauron as their dark lord at the table.
