Gandalf, Party Guest (Unexpected Party) by GeminiTwaine

Format: Commander

Commander: Gandalf, Party Guest

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Gandalf, Party Guest leads a Jeskai deck that splits between a legendary-Wizard spell-slinging engine and a Dwarf/treasure synergy core. The commander free-casts instants and sorceries at combat, scaling with legendary Wizards, so the deck accelerates into Brass's Bounty and value spells. The Dwarf package-Magda, Thorin, Balin, and Dwarven Recruiter-generates Treasures, tutors, and a Balin burn finish. Magda acts as a hidden commander, enabling artifact/Dragon tutoring and the Clock of Omens + Liquimetal Torque loop. Secondary wins come from pumped Dwarf combat with Thorin, King of Durin's Folk and War of the Last Alliance double strike.
