Format: Commander

Commander: Gandalf, Goblins' Bane // Flameshape

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a mono-red spellslinger burn deck built around the creature face of Gandalf, Goblins' Bane: every noncreature spell deals 1 to each opponent while he grows. The Flameshape adventure is a secondary value tool, exiling two cards to play later if a Wizard is present. The primary plan is to chain rituals, cantrips, and removal spells in a single turn, letting Gandalf plus Guttersnipe, Fiery Inscription, and other pingers multiply each spell into 4-5 damage per opponent; Grapeshot or a giant Improvisation Capstone turn provides the final push. Ojer Axonil and Torbran serve as damage amplifiers. The deck has no dedicated hidden commander, but it relies on a cast-heavy turn rather than combat to finish.
