Deck overview

This is a Jeskai legendary-Wizards spellslinger deck helmed by Gandalf, Party Guest, whose combat trigger free-casts an instant or sorcery with mana value up to twice the number of legendary Wizards you control. The deck floods the board with 22 legendary Wizards in the 99 - Gandalf variants, Azami, Lady of Scrolls, Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, Lier, Disciple of the Drowned, and more - to scale X, then chains enormous spells: extra turns via Beacon of Tomorrows and Temporal Trespass, massive burn via Searing Wind and Explosive Singularity, and copy effects from Double Vision, Alania, Divergent Storm, Harmonic Prodigy, and Wizard's Staff to multiply the damage. The primary win is a critical-mass turn where free-cast extra turns and tripled burn (Isengard Unleashed) eliminate the table, with Enter the Infinite as an alternate draw-the-deck payoff. It is a slow, value-driven inevitability deck with almost no tutor support and a thin mana base.
