Sauron, the Dark Lord is the commander for this deck since he does three things: Amass orcs, provide ring temptation, and give card draw. Not only is he cheaper than Sauron, Lord of the Rings but he also has a steep ward cost. The goal of the deck is death by a thousand cuts - use Orcish Bowmasters, All Will Be One, and Goblin Bombardment to ping your opponents to death, and when that doesn't work, you can tutor or reanimate the big baddies onto the board. You will be a target for your enemies so use cards like Witch-king of Angmar and No Mercy to punish them for attacking you or use Court of Ambition to punish them for not killing you yet. Either way you are the big bad!
