Deck overview

This deck is a mono-white artifact and legendary midrange engine piloted by Gandalf the White. The primary strategy focuses on deploying low-cost utility artifacts, mana rocks, and value creatures during the opening turns, then casting Gandalf to grant flash to historic spells while doubling all entering and dying triggers from artifacts and legendary permanents. This trigger doubling turns modest cantrips like Ichor Wellspring, Lembas, and Circuit Mender into substantial card-advantage engines, while supercharging high-impact permanents such as Myr Battlesphere, The Mightstone and Weakstone, and Sun Titan. The deck controls opposing threats with efficient exile interaction (Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, Dispatch) and flashable artifact removal (Meteor Golem, Angel of the Ruins). It closes the game by amassing a resilient army of artifact tokens and oversized creatures, delivering lethal combat and direct burn damage across multiple attack steps while using Boromir, Warden of the Tower and Faith's Reward for protection.
