Darkness Beckons with Sauron!
Embrace the shadows with Sauron, the Dark Lord, a formidable force in the Universes Beyond: The Lord of the Rings set. This legendary creature brings not just power, but a strategic edge to your battlefield. With the ability to amass Orcs at the drop of a spell, Sauron synergizes beautifully with cards that benefit from creating an overwhelming army, like Grave Titan or Army of the Damned. His Ward ability adds a level of protection, ensuring that your enemies think twice before targeting him.
At a commanding 7/6, Sauron is not just a creature; he's a game-changer. When he deals damage to an opponent, the Ring's temptation becomes a double-edged sword, forcing your adversaries into a precarious position. In a format where control is key, his presence can dictate the pace of the game and shift your opponent's strategy. Whether you're leading a deck focused on sacrifice mechanics or utilizing a horde of Orcs, Sauron stands as a testament to the dark arts of Magic.
