Cards that fit this commander

Cards are grouped from existing roles, support-package notes, and attached market context. These are cards to check, not a full decklist.

8 groups
Legendary Wizards4 cards

Only permanents that are both legendary and Wizards count. Nonlegendary Wizards help the deck but do not raise X.

Threshold Spells6 cards

Group spells by current mana value and combat-window usability; do not treat every counterspell as a free-cast payoff.

Trigger Multipliers2 cards

Separate increasing the Wizard count from doubling or copying the beginning-of-combat trigger.

Extra Combats and Turns1 cards

Extra combats on your turn retrigger Gandalf if the relevant object is present when that combat begins.

Spell Payoffs and Draw2 cards

Gandalf casts the spell, so cast triggers, magecraft, storm count, and spellslinger draw can matter.

Protection and Mana2 cards

Mana rocks and protection matter because Gandalf needs to be on the battlefield before combat and the Wizard count is checked at resolution.

Combo Context3 cards

No Gandalf-required Spellbook combo is verified; keep contextual and generic lines separate.

Versions and Products2 cards

HOC #2 is a borderless scene card tied to Crack the Plates Scene Box and Collector Booster distribution. Art cards are not playable copies.
