Format: Commander

Commander: Gonti, Canny Acquisitor

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Sultai theft deck uses Gonti, Canny Acquisitor to turn unblockable combat damage into card advantage. You attack with evasive rogues like Slither Blade, Triton Shorestalker, and Changeling Outcast to exile the top card of each opponent's library and cast those spells for one less and with any mana. Felix Five-Boots acts as a hidden commander that doubles those triggers, while Ohran Frostfang and Enduring Curiosity turn every hit into extra draws. Secondary engines such as Dauthi Voidwalker, Gonti Lord of Luxury, Brainstealer Dragon, and Mind's Dilation provide theft without the commander. You win by grinding incremental combat damage and finishing with large stolen spells like Villainous Wealth rather than an infinite combo.
