sauron 1.0
Summary
This Sauron list has several very highpower staples (The One Ring, Orcish Bowmasters, Cyclonic Rift, Entomb/Reanimate), strong card selection, and real midrange inevitability—but it does not meet Bracket 4 expectations for interaction density, protection, and closing speed. In a typical Bracket 4 pod (multiple protected win lines around turns 6–8), this deck is structurally too light on answers and too combatforward, so it will routinely lose to faster/combocentric tables unless it draws its few premium catchalls at the right time.
