Dumbledore - Budget by Bigboots22

Format: Commander

Commander: Gandalf, Party Guest

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck is a Gandalf, Party Guest-led spellslinger build that leans heavily on a critical mass of legendary Wizards to amplify the commander's free-casting trigger. At the beginning of combat, Gandalf lets you cast an instant or sorcery with mana value twice the number of legendary Wizards you control. The primary game plan is to deploy a handful of legendary Wizards, then chain extra-combat spells (Relentless Assault, World at War, Full Throttle, Waves of Aggression, Savage Beating, Great Train Heist) and copy effects (Repeated Reverberation, Alania, Divergent Storm, Summon: G.F. Cerberus) to overwhelm opponents with combat damage from buffed Wizard tokens and flying spirits. The deck also runs a modest selection of counterspells and removal to protect its turn. Wins come from overwhelming combat damage across multiple combats, not from infinite combos.
