Lord of the Nazgûl

Gameplan

You're a Dimir spellslinger that builds a Wraith army instead of slinging burn. Every instant or sorcery makes a 3/3 menace Wraith, so you chain cheap cantrips and removal to flood the board, then flip the 9/9 switch once you hit nine Wraiths to swing for lethal. Protect the team with countermagic and card draw while you assemble an overwhelming, evasive board.

Key Cards

• Mizzix's Mastery — Flashing back a chunk of your spells can spit out a swarm of Wraiths in one turn.
• Underworld Breach — Recasting cheap instants and sorceries from the graveyard repeatedly each generates a fresh Wraith.
• Brainstorm — Cheap cantrips are your ideal fuel—every one makes a token while smoothing draws.
• Cyclonic Rift — Overloaded, it clears blockers so your 9/9 menace Wraiths connect for lethal.
• Coastal Piracy — Your evasive Wraith army draws cards on combat damage, refueling more spells.
• Anointed Procession — Doubling your Wraith tokens rockets you to the nine-Wraith threshold far faster.

Upgrade Path

Prioritize cheap cantrips and efficient removal over splashy expensive spells so you trigger the token engine multiple times per turn, and add token doublers like Anointed Procession and Parallel Lives to hit nine Wraiths quickly. Include spell-recursion engines (Underworld Breach, Mizzix's Mastery, Past in Flames) for explosive token bursts, and protect your commander with counterspells and Lightning Greaves. Round out with overrun-style finishers like Cyclonic Rift or Craterhoof-adjacent effects to close once the army is assembled.
