Description

Sauron, the Lidless Eye (LTR 396) is a legendary creature Avatar Horror printed in The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. When it enters the battlefield you temporarily gain control of an opponent’s creature, untap it, and it gains haste until end of turn, and it also has an activated {1}{B}{R} ability that gives your creatures +2/+0 and drains each opponent for 2 life. The card is a 4/4 for {3}{B}{R} and functions both as a tempo-stealing enter-the-battlefield threat and a pump/drain engine for aggressive or midrange decks.
