Sauron, the Dark Lord
Oracle Text
Ward—Sacrifice a legendary artifact or legendary creature.
Whenever an opponent casts a spell, amass Orcs 1.
Whenever an Army you control deals combat damage to a player, the Ring tempts you.
Whenever the Ring tempts you, you may discard your hand. If you do, draw four cards.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Sauron, the Dark Lord is a massive mythic finisher that best fits a value-control or midrange shell, where you can survive long enough to leverage his punishing triggers. In play, he turns every opposing spell into board pressure by amassing Orcs, steadily building an Army that also feeds the Ring temptations; once that Army connects, the card can snowball into a discard-your-hand, draw-four burst that refuels you and buries opponents in advantage. His ward cost being tied to sacrificing a legendary artifact or creature makes him especially nasty in decks already built around legends, such as The Ring-heavy Commander lists or historic shells with resilient legendary permanents. A strong tip is to pair him with cheap legendary creatures or token-friendly legends so the ward is rarely inconvenient, and include ways to push the Army through combat, like evasion or menace, to reliably trigger the card draw engine.
