Sauron is bonkers good, which makes sense for the doom of Middle Earth, right
Rules 11/17/17 Once a creature gains indestructible, it will have it for the turn, even if it loses all its +1/+1 counters
This is kind of necessary to making Bitterthorn good, as the 1/1 token will be chumped the majority of the time and youll then have to pay three to equip again, which is a lot
The other kind of convoke card that always works out is the kind that lets you tap a bunch of tokens for a strong body, ensuring your go-wide deck can also go tall. Zephyr Singer gives your army an instant power bump reminiscent of Venerated Loxodon
