Gandfall by Boralin

Format: Commander

Commander: Gandalf, Shadow's Foe

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a mono-blue landfall and Moonfolk bounce engine built around Gandalf, Shadow's Foe. Gandalf's ETB flickers lands to immediately trigger landfall, and every subsequent land drop draws a card while stacking +1/+1 counters on him. The deck pairs that command-zone engine with classic land-bounce loops (Retreat to Coralhelm, Walking Atlas, Oboro, Palace in the Clouds, Patron of the Moon) to generate infinite landfall, infinite draw, and infinite counters. Primary wins are table drains via Psychosis Crawler, infinite turns with Sage of Hours + The Ozolith, stolen boards through Roil Elemental, or overwhelming token/combat pressure from Meloku the Clouded Mirror and Field of the Dead. A secondary artifact axis (Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal, tutors, cost reducers) provides non-landfall lines. The deck plays as a resilient, highly redundant combo machine that turns every land drop into card advantage and inevitability.
