Gandalf burn ya by nikkedog

Format: Commander

Commander: Gandalf, Goblins' Bane // Flameshape

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The deck is an aggressive mono-red burn/storm deck built to use the front face of Gandalf, Goblins' Bane as the primary engine: every noncreature spell is another 1-damage trigger in addition to the other pinger creatures. The Flameshape adventure is a conditional card-access mode, not the face the deck is built around, and there is no hidden second commander. The deck uses cheap pingers, red cantrips, rituals, and card loot to cast many noncreature spells in one turn. Damage multipliers such as Torbran, Solphim, Ojer Axonil, and Fiery Emancipation convert small pings into lethal table damage. The realistic win is a large red-spell turn, normally closed by Grapeshot, without an infinite combo.
