Gandalf, Goblins’ Bane by Cosmic009

Format: Commander

Commander: Gandalf, Goblins' Bane // Flameshape

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The deck is a mono-red spell-slinger burn deck built around Gandalf, Goblins' Bane as a repeatable 'noncreature spell' pinger and eventual Voltron/finisher. The creature face is the primary engine: every instant or sorcery grows Gandalf and drains each opponent. Backup Wizards and Shaman pingers such as Firebrand Archer, Kessig Flamebreather, and Coruscation Mage multiply that trigger, and damage amplifiers like Solphim, Torbran, Ojer Axonil, and Twinflame Tyrant turn small pings into lethal chunks. The Flameshape adventure gives card selection from the command zone when a Wizard is present. Secondary paths are Grapeshot/X-spell storms, Chandra's Ignition, or infect via Grafted Exoskeleton. No hidden commander exists; every line feeds the same noncreature-spell trigger.
