How Lord of the Nazgûl decks play in EDH
Lord of the Nazgûl is a Dimir commander in blue and black costing 3UB, and its legendary creature - wraith noble line shapes the whole deck around it. It makes tokens, so the deck wants ways to pump a wide board and to turn spare bodies into cards or damage. Built-in evasion means damage gets through reliably, so effects that scale that damage are worth more than extra bodies. The cards below are the ones Lord of the Nazgûl decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
