Gonti, The Thief by DomSanctus

Format: Commander

Commander: Gonti, Canny Acquisitor

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Sultai deck wins by attacking with unblockable, shadow, and fear creatures to trigger Gonti, Canny Acquisitor and draw engines. Gonti discounts spells you don't own and exiles the top card of each damaged opponent's library for you to cast with any mana. The evasive board provides steady card advantage and incremental damage. Secondary paths swarm with landfall tokens from Avenger of Zendikar, Rampaging Baloths and Scute Swarm, or steal a win with Villainous Wealth and Heartless Conscription. Thief of Sanity and Nightveil Specter act as hidden Gontis when the commander is offline.
