Commander: Gonti, Canny Acquisitor

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Gonti, Canny Acquisitor leads a Sultai theft deck that turns unblockable rogues into card advantage. The primary plan is to land Gonti, attack with cheap unblockable creatures, exile opponents' top cards, and cast those spells with Gonti's {1} discount. Secondary paths use Thada Adel, Thief of Sanity, Nashi, Fallen Shinobi, Dauthi Voidwalker, and Mnemonic Betrayal to steal from libraries and graveyards, while Edric, Toski, and Ohran convert combat damage into cards. Finale of Devastation is the main deterministic closer, turning the wide board into a lethal swing. Felix Five-Boots and Roaming Throne multiply every combat trigger. Commander dependency is moderate: many theft and draw pieces work without Gonti, but his discount and trigger density are the engine that makes the deck tick.
