Deck Utility:

• Dimir Mill: Can be included in a mill deck to both accelerate the milling strategy and potentialy generate a large creature.

• Amass/ORC Tribal: Could fit into a dedicated amass or orc tribal deck, capitalizing on the extra counters.

• Control: ITS Stats and Abilities make it a Suitable option for a control deck that can take advantage of the milling and the creation of a sizable orc army.

Interactions and Combos:

• Ashiok, Dream Render: Can Help Mill the Opponent Further and Exile Their Graveyard If It Becomes Beneficial.

• Dreadhorde Invasion: A card that already works with amass, it would synergy well with the mouth of sauron.

The Mouth of Sauron is an intriguing card that can provide value in multiple dimensions: it Disrupts the opponent's deck, potentialy creates a large orc army, and has a solid body to boat. However, IT Requires a Specific Context To Truly Shine, Making It A Card Best Suited For Dedicated Strategies.
