Background for the Deck

I've played MTG since Zendikar. I got my undergrad at a school that was literally called "Rivendell Sanctuary". Fast forward to 2023. This happens. Nuff said.

A Breakdown of the Deck

This deck is so much fun... Starting out, the commander pumps out Wraiths and ultimately buffs them. Playing the nine Nazgul enables you to cash in on a whole list of cards that would otherwise typically be useless in commander, a generally singleton format. Cards such as Infernal Tutor, Assembly Hall, Echoing Return, and Secret Salvage become incredibly powerful when trying to ensure your Nazgul make it out in any given game and keep coming back. I play a slough of card draw spells to keep from running out of gas, and a hand full counterspells and removal spells to keep control, but intentionally don't overplay counterspells because I personally don't find them very fun to play. Other non-Wraith/Shapeshifter creatures included in the deck are Filth, to combo with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, and what's even better is using Final Parting to tutor up both of these cards and put Urborg to hand and Filth in the graveyard right away, then play Urborg as land for turn. Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, because it's good... It's just that good, Roaming Throne in order to capitalize on all of the Nazgul and Lord of the Nazgul trigged abilities. Wonder to flavorfully give my wraiths flying as if they were on their fell beasts. With The One Ring and not a whole lot of Lifegain in the deck, it generally puts me on a clock, so it's more flavorful than practical for now. Added Sakashima of a Thousand Faces and Spark Double along with Rite of Replication in order to target my commander, create a non-legendary copy of it and then create 5 more copies in order to take full advantage of the final ability of the commander by getting to the required "9 Wraiths" portion of its last ability.
