Strategy

Ah, the "Saruman, the White Hand" Commander deck, what an intriguing concept! This deck have a strong theme around the characters and elements from The Lord of the Rings. The strategy appears to revolve around controlling the board with powerful spells and creatures, while also utilizing cards that reference key locations and characters from the lore. Some of the good points of this deck could be the flavorful synergies between the cards, such as using Treason of Isengard to steal opponent's creatures or using Sauron, Lord of the Rings as a powerful finisher. Cards like Reanimate and Feed the Swarm provide great utility and removal options. The mana base seems well-rounded with a mix of basic lands and dual lands to ensure consistent mana production. On the downside, the deck might struggle with being a bit slow to set up if it doesn't draw the right cards early on. Some of the cards, while flavorful, may not be as efficient or powerful in a competitive Commander environment. Additionally, the deck lack a bit of card draw or card advantage, which could be a weakness in longer games against decks with more card advantage engines. Overall, the "Saruman, the White Hand" Commander deck seems like a fun and thematic deck to play, with plenty of room for strategic plays and memorable moments on the battlefield. It definitely has the potential to surprise and delight both players and fans of The Lord of the Rings universe!
