Commander: Gonti, Canny Acquisitor

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Gonti, Canny Acquisitor leads a Sultai theft deck that wins by hitting opponents with small unblockable Rogues and turning their libraries into your hand. The commander discounts stolen spells by {1} and exiles the top card of each player you damage, letting you cast opponents' cards with any mana. Secondary paths use big X spells like Villainous Wealth and Outrageous Robbery, plus passive engines such as Mind's Dilation and Brainstealer Dragon that steal without combat. Ramp from dorks, Wild Growth effects, and Cultivate effects powers out the 5-mana commander early, while draw engines like Ohran Frostfang and Black Market Connections keep you fueled. The deck grinds value until stolen bombs and incremental combat close the game.
