Gandalf by VaderTotz

Format: Commander

Commander: Gandalf, Party Guest

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Jeskai Wizard-tribal spellslinger deck built around Gandalf, Party Guest, who casts a free instant or sorcery at the beginning of each combat with a mana value up to twice the number of legendary Wizards you control. The deck packs 17 legendary Wizards to balloon that X value, then chains extra-combat spells - World at War, Savage Beating, Great Train Heist - so each additional combat re-triggers Gandalf and casts another free spell. The kill comes from pumping the Wizard team with Surge to Victory, Haze of Rage, Adeliz, the Cinder Wind, Balmor, Battlemage Captain, and Jeskai Ascendancy, then swinging for lethal across multiple combats. Chance for Glory offers an extra turn, while Gogo, Master of Mimicry and Harmonic Prodigy multiply the trigger count.
