Commander: Gandalf, Goblins' Bane // Flameshape

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a mono-red spellslinger/burn deck helmed by Gandalf, Goblins' Bane, whose core plan is to cast as many noncreature spells as possible while a swarm of pingers - Guttersnipe, Firebrand Archer, Coruscation Mage, and Gandalf himself - drains the table. The deck layers every available damage multiplier (Torbran, Thane of Red Fell, Solphim, Mayhem Dominus, Fiery Emancipation, Artist's Talent at level 3, Hawkeye, Young Avenger) on top of that pinger engine, turning each cantrip and ritual into a miniature burn spell. Wins come from incremental table-wide damage accelerated by big X-spell finishers like Crackle with Power and Electrodominance, a storm kill via Grapeshot, and a compact infinite-copy combo between Dualcaster Mage and Return the Favor. The adventure side, Flameshape, offers a small card-advantage trick when a Wizard is on board.
