Azoth2099 on Sauron, The Dark Lord Commander Deck

3 months ago

Hey dude! So I've tested Sauron quite a bit, let me give you some free game.

The most critical thing about running a 6-drop commander is...having an absolutely absurd amount of mana in the deck, if you can believe that.

I would recommend running 10+ mana rocks alongside a handful of rituals, enough to drop Sauron T3 or T4 consistently. Here's a nice list:

Rocks: Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Fellwar Stone, Thran Dynamo, Basalt Monolith, Talisman of Dominance, Talisman of Creativity, Talisman of Indulgence, Dimir Signet, Izzet Signet, Rakdos Signet & Chromatic Lantern.

Rituals: Dark Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Culling the Weak, Burnt Offering, Sacrifice, Rite of Flame, Desperate Ritual, Pyretic Ritual & Seething Song.

If you incorporate a good amount of mana generation, you can cut down to 30 lands and be waaay more consistent. And then once you power him out you can slap stuff like Conqueror's Flail on him and smack everybody around like a proper villain!

Cheers m8, happy holidays!

So having tested Sauron, the Dark Lord into the dirt since his release, I think you're gonna need to get him on the board waaay faster than this list is currently doing if you really want to be mean like that. I'd recommend a few of the following "means" lol:

Rocks: Talisman of Dominance, Talisman of Creativity, Talisman of Indulgence, Dimir Signet, Rakdos Signet, Izzet Signet, Fellwar Stone & Springleaf Drum

Rituals: Dark Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Culling the Weak, Burnt Offering, Sacrifice, Rain of Filth, Bubbling Muck, High Tide, Rite of Flame, Infernal Plunge, Pyretic Ritual, Desperate Ritual & Seething Song.

Cost Reducers: Nightscape Familiar, Sapphire Medallion, Jet Medallion, Ruby Medallion, Cloud Key & Urza's Incubator.

And then there are other value pieces like Conqueror's Flail to go along with The Reaver Cleaver to help you get out of hand once he's summoned, & Faerie Mastermind to draw you cards while your commander builds your board from your opponents actions. Mystic Remora is also great in this sense and is still pretty cheap compared to Rhystic Study. Teferi's Ageless Insight is another banger post-commander that should be considered imo, especially since you can't run Necropotence as efficiently as other {U}{B}{R} decks can.

For more villainy, consider Dauthi Voidwalker, Opposition Agent, Praetor's Grasp, Mnemonic Betrayal, Bribery, Acquire & maybe even something like Empress Galina to really peeve your pod.

Peace!

Azoth2099 Thanks for your suggestions on my own Narset deck. There's some very interesting things that I'm definitely going to be thinking about.

In regards to this deck, this might just be me, but looking at this in it's current state, I feel like you're liable to struggle to really combo properly when you get Underworld Breach online. No issue keeping the graveyard full, but there's only really Jeska's Will and Rite of Flame in terms of rituals, so I see you running out of Mana fairly easily if you don't draw/mill either of them. (Not difficult, in hindsight seeing how many tutors there are, but still)

I'd see about trying to fit Mana Geyser in there for some extra red and Storm-Kiln Artist for some colour fixing as you go.

I'm also kinda struggling to see a definitive win condition. Might be me being dumb, but I'm not seeing anything that'd clear the board, damage the opponent or mill anyone out, aside from maybe comboing Traumatize and Brain Freeze while Underworld Breach is active, but you'd then need some crazy mana for that to work. That in mind, Cyclonic Rift is a good way to clear out the board for an attack, Grapeshot can easily storm out if you get a loop going, and Jaya's Immolating Inferno can just incinerate everyone if you build up a decent pool of mana.

Here's a history of Storm circa 2017. Basically, it's overloaded with rituals and card draw (many of which are still banned, like Seething Song, Gitaxian Probe, Ponder, and Rite of Flame) to cast all the spells, finishing with Grapeshot or Empty the Warrens. So Preordain has a home there, but a lot of the deck's core isn't available.

Neither Lightning Phoenix or Rite of Flame are Modern-legal.

Outside of that, your mana curve feels a bit low considering how much you’ll need to start doing things.

Yep LED works nicely here since you can sack it after casting a wheel but before the wheel resolves, or before a string of Sphinx activations resolve. (you probs already knew that but LED is so weird, figured i'd explain just in case)

Mastery could potentially replace Thoracle + Ephemerate. That'd prevent you from hitting Thoracle off The Bridge first which could speed up your game plan by a turn. Since Mastery is red you could run red rituals (Seething Song, Jeska's Will, Mana Geyser, Rite of Flame, Desperate Ritual, Pyretic Ritual) to pay for it, and having just 1 creature in the deck means you could swap out your creature tutors for more mana fixing or rituals.

Neat deck! Rite of Flame is also an option in addition to Simian Spirit Guide for the turn one win.

Fervor -> Mass Hysteria?

Also, Rite of Flame, Pyretic Ritual, Desperate Ritual, Mana Echoes, and Simian Spirit Guide can help you ramp. Mana Echoes is really only great with X-burn spells and such, though, so it's not for every Krenko deck. It would be fire with Staff of Domination, though ^^
