Commander: Gonti, Canny Acquisitor

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Gonti, Canny Acquisitor leads a Sultai theft deck that wins by hitting opponents with evasive creatures and casting their cards. The primary plan is to ramp to five mana, deploy unblockable rogues like Slither Blade, Triton Shorestalker and Changeling Outcast, then cast Gonti to make stolen spells cost one less and exile cards on combat damage. Secondary paths use independent theft engines such as Brainstealer Dragon, Thief of Sanity, Hostage Taker and Opposition Agent to generate value without the commander. Felix Five-Boots acts as a hidden commander that doubles all combat damage triggers. Doc Aurlock and Savvy Trader further reduce costs for spells cast from exile. The deck closes by overwhelming the table with a growing board of evasive threats and opponents' own bombs.
