Deck overview

This is a Jeskai spellslinger deck helmed by Gandalf, Party Guest, who free-casts instants and sorceries at the beginning of combat based on the number of legendary Wizards you control. The deck runs an extraordinary density of legendary Wizards (30+) alongside a deep bench of "whenever you cast an instant or sorcery" payoffs - Talrand, Sky Summoner, Metallurgic Summonings, Rite of the Dragoncaller, Archmage Emeritus, Veyran, Voice of Duality, and Niv-Mizzet, Parun - converting every spell into tokens, cards, and damage. Primary win conditions are overwhelming combat damage from a token army, Approach of the Second Sun as an alternate win, and massive burn from Gandalf the Grey and Chandra, Hope's Beacon. Copy effects like Double Vision, Swarm Intelligence, and Sunbird's Invocation multiply the value of every spell, while Insurrection and Mob Rule can steal a game outright.
