Hobbit Precon - Gandalf, Wandering Wizard
deck Gandalf, Wandering Wizard
Aug 11, 2026
Lost your Gandalf? Replay him from the command zone! A wizard is never late... Enjoy this Gandalf and Bilbo themed deck where cards from the two lotr sets meet cards from throughout Magics history. The deck has been carefully crafted such that every card references something from the fandom that has sprung from Tolkiens fantastical world. Swing spells or take to the sword as Gandalf, the Wandering Wizard as reimagined in the modern age (or as they call it in lore, the third age). The deck plays by playing enchantments, artifacts, ramp and other long-term value cards until Gandalf, Wandering Wizard can be cast. Use your mana wisely, but do not be afraid to let Gandalf wander off with his ability to protect him. Remember to put him in the command zone instead of shuffling him into your deck, there is plenty of ramp specifically to play him again and again. How does the deck win? There are several avenues to which the deck can win. Firstly Gandalfs' draw can ensure that you have powerful artifacts or enchantments out on turn 7-8 as the deck is full of them. Secondly, The Lord of the Eagles and other fliers can present a strong beat down deck from the air. Thirdly, there are no wizards in the deck except for Gandalf. And Gandalf, Shadow's Foe (to represent that there were only five istari ((also, this make it so that there are two blue wizards in the deck :))) ). Gandalf, Shadow's Foe fuels a secondary theme of the deck. Landfall. Return 3 lands every time Gandalf, Shadow's Foe gets bounced and we're in value town.
