Buckle up, it‘s about time Gandalf get‘s his own Commander deck. After all, where would Bilbo and Frodo be if not for our favorite spellslinger? This is an exile-matters deck, seeking to play spells from outside your hand while giving you payoffs for doing so, e.g with cards like Wild-Magic Sorcerer or Passionate Archaeologist. Then, we enhance Gandalf‘s ping into serious burn damage or further payoff, e.g with cards like Virtue of Courage. Additionally, we play a lot of cards that are either flavorfull or that I simply consider a lot of fun, such as Call for Aid or Disrupt Decorum. Cards not fitting for Middle Earth such as Planeswalkers have not been included, although I had to include some UB cards from other IP’s as they were simply too good to leave out. The Most expensive cards are Delayed Blast Fireball, Passionate Archaeologist and Wild-Mage Sorcerer, but it also includes a fair share of cheap cards.
