After getting the LoTR precons and playing a couple games, I found myself drawn to the Mordor deck, specifically with Saruman at the helm. I've been having fun and I want to steadily upgrade it over time. The LTR stuff that isn't from the precon my wife and I pulled from a draft booster box :)

Any advice is always welcome! I'm pretty new to deckbuilding, and MTG in general, so I'm sure there's plenty of room for improvement.

So far I've just been trying to hone in on the amass mechanic and Saruman's interaction with it via instants and sorceries.
