Gorion, Wise Mentor by Lord-Salas

Format: Commander

Commander: Gorion, Wise Mentor

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Gorion, Wise Mentor leads a Bant Adventures value deck. The core loop is casting cheap Adventure spells from hand, copying them with Gorion (plus Chancellor of Tales or Lucky Clover), then recasting the exiled creature halves with payoffs like Kellan, the Kid, Vega, and Edgewall Innkeeper. There is no hidden commander; Chancellor of Tales is effectively a backup Gorion. The deck accumulates wide token boards and a large pool of instant/sorcery/Adventure cards in exile and the graveyard, then ends with Candlekeep Inspiration turning every creature into an X/X attacker. Secondary paths use Extraordinary Journey and Bilbo, Thief in the Night to generate extra value, with no infinite combo.
