Sorry if this isn’t the right community, and if it isn’t hopefully someone can point me in the right direction!
I am looking for some input on an EDH deck I am working on. This is the deck and it revolves around [[Gandalf the Grey]] as the commander. So lots of instants, sorceries, and prowess. Mostly aiming for Gandalf commander damage as the win condition by combining the 3 damage to each player and then putting Gandalf back on the top of the library. I played this for the first time last night and while it has a ton of potential, I definitely feel that things are missing.
Things I am looking for are:
- More card draw. This was without a doubt the biggest issue and I’ll take any input on how to improve this!
- More counters. Less of an issue than card draw, but definitely was struggling against my buddy’s Balen/Token deck.
- Any sort of board wipe. This was definitely an issue but by the time I could’ve really used the board wipe, I had fizzled out due to no card draw.
Hopefully folk have some input! I would definitely love to keep this on the cheaper side as this deck so far has cost me $15 for a couple boosters. Most of the deck was inherited from someone in college years ago lol.
If you have cost reduction in your deck, Clockspinning

Is one of my favorites for counters, it’s one at a time but easy mana dump and works to add or remove one of any counter
Also, Vadrik astral archmage

Is absurd with buyback cards since cost reduction is the final modifier.
Sorry if you already have these in your deck, I couldn’t look since I’m at work
