Gandalf by Kestis

Format: Commander

Commander: Gandalf, Goblins' Bane // Flameshape

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Gandalf, Goblins' Bane // Flameshape leads a mono-red spellslinger deck that turns every noncreature spell into damage. The front face is the primary engine: Gandalf pings each opponent and grows as you cast spells. Flameshape is a value setup, exiling two cards that you can play once Gandalf is on board, and it feeds Passionate Archaeologist. Torbran, Thane of Red Fell acts as a hidden commander, amplifying all the pings. Secondary paths are extra-combat loops with Aggravated Assault, Neheb, Cavern-Hoard Dragon, and Reaver Cleaver, plus a Dualcaster Mage/Twinflame token kill. The deck wins by chaining cheap spells, Past in Flames, and damage doublers.
