Gandalf the White

Gameplan

Gandalf the White is a mono-white flash deck that doubles every legendary/artifact enter-or-leave trigger you control while letting you deploy those permanents at instant speed. You hold up mana, cast key legendaries and artifacts on opponents' turns, and snowball value through doubled ETB/LTB triggers until you grind the table out. The deck plays like a reactive value engine that punishes opponents for tapping out.

Key Cards

• Solemn Simulacrum — Its ETB ramp and death draw both get doubled, and you can flash it in for value.
• Sun Titan — A legendary-and-artifact recursion engine whose attack trigger and constant returns synergize with blink loops.
• Skullclamp — An artifact whose draw can fuel the deck, while its presence supports white's token bodies for cards.
• Karmic Guide — Doubled reanimation ETBs plus blink loops generate repeatable value and combo potential.
• Cloudstone Curio — Bounces legendaries/artifacts to retrigger ETBs an extra time each, enabling loops with Gandalf.
• Conjurer's Closet — Repeatable end-of-turn blink that doubles your best ETB creature every turn.
• Heliod, Sun-Crowned — A legendary that thrives on the value engine and provides a lifegain combo backbone.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana and white ramp like Smothering Tithe, Mana Crypt, and Sol Ring, plus card advantage engines such as Esper Sentinel and Welcoming Vampire to offset mono-white's draw problem. Tighten the blink package with Restoration Angel, Felidar Guardian, and reanimation pieces to assemble doubled-trigger combo loops. Protect Gandalf with Swords to Plowshares, Teferi's Protection, and Lightning Greaves so the engine stays online.
