A Phyrexian in Middle-earth —Nov. 17, 2023

A "What if" build based on the blending of quotes: "Tolaria floats upon a Wheel of Fortune" (Ertai, Wizard Adept) with "Such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere" (Elrond). Discard synergy ups the Dark Lord's Arsenal, while bombs like Sheoldred, the Apocalypse make his dominion even more assured. Still 9 "Tempts", still 9 Demons filling in for Ring-wraiths, all the Malice there ever was!
