mtg amass commander deck Sauron, the Dark Lord LotR

Consuming Aberration is one of the notable exceptions

The problem with the other two is that they have no way to affect the board before your commander comes onto the battlefield

The checklist is just another tool to assist you if you want it, nothing more

Then theres Fractured Sanity, a three-mana Blue sorcery that has each opponent mill 14 cards (discarding from their deck to their graveyard), but can also be cycled to draw a card and make opponents mill four cards instead

Imagine how good his phasing ability would be with "damage on the stack" these days

This aura is among the most efficient copy abilities, yet sets you up for a blowout in a way others dont and effectively forces you to sacrifice a creature for your copy instead of adding to the board
