A budget commander deck based on the Necromancer, the Shadow, the Enemy - Sauron, Maia of Aulë.

Given Sauron's mastery over the minds of lesser beings, and his ability to cause corruption and decay, the most appropriate archetype seemed to be a mill deck. I tried to only use cards that were -- A: Budget, B: Thematically-appropriate in name, C: Thematically-appropriate in mechanics.
