Commander: Gonti, Canny Acquisitor

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Gonti, Canny Acquisitor leads a Sultai theft-and-grind deck. The primary plan is to stick an unblockable attacker, trigger Gonti to exile opponents' top cards, and cast those cards with a discount using any mana. Secondary paths are ninjutsu/value attackers like Nashi, Fallen Shinobi, and Thada Adel, plus a compact infinite-mana finish with Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal into Inside Information. Gonti is the value engine and cost reducer; the legendary rogues act as backup engines rather than a true hidden commander. The deck can grind with stolen cards and evasive chip damage, but its cleanest win is the Scepter loop once the three-piece combo is assembled.
