Gandalf the White

Legendary Creature — Avatar Wizard

Flash

You may cast legendary spells and artifact spells as though they had flash.

If a legendary permanent or an artifact entering or leaving the battlefield causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.

Rhadamanthus on Does Gandalf the White cause …

Yes, that's how it will work out. A "dies" trigger is a type of "leave the battlefield" trigger, so since an artifact leaving the battlefield caused Skullclamp to trigger in this example then Gandalf the White will cause it to trigger again.

If I have Gandalf the White on board. An Artifact creature wtih Skullclamp equipped to it and that creature dies, does Skullclamp trigger twice, resulting in 4 cards being drawn?

Last_Laugh on New hubs to be added

2 weeks ago

legendofa re: double triggers. None of what you listed is a trigger. I'm talking Isshin, Two Heavens as One, Teysa Karlov, Felix Five-Boots, Yarok, the Desecrated, Gandalf the White, Drivnod, Carnage Dominus, Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines, etc.

I guess to me a hub describes a decks main focuses and when I'm unable to describe my deck this way then the available hubs might be getting too narrow.

Anyways, cheers and sorry for the bad timing... it didn't even click I tossed this at ya on a prerelease weekend.

Ok, I need help please to see if I can meld creature tokens and a focus on Historic cards for Peri Brown's convoke ability with +1+1 counters and Vedalken Orrery effects for The Thirteenth Doctor's untap ability. This is surprisingly a super unique deck idea (unless someone knows a different commander with a similar strategy)... there is literally ONE deck for this pairing on edhrec and ZERO here so I'm hoping my fellow theory crafters unite with some random ideas and suggestions. There's a decent amount of overlap with these strategies so it feels feasible.

I'm thinking of stuff like Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage / Gandalf the White / Vedalken Orrery for the ability to cast at instant speed so I can take advantage of the once per turn convoke on everyone's turn.

Thanks in advance!

Gandalf the White can't be in a deck with Jegantha, the Wellspring as a companion.

Deck Updates

These are changes based on game testing and new cards I think will improve the deck significantly. My goals are to increase the synergy but also the flow of the deck.

Cards I took out: - Athreos, God of Passage / I prefer creatures in the graveyard - Liesa, Forgotten Archangel / I prefer creatures in the graveyard - Syr Konrad, the Grim / Doesn't trigger enough for my taste - Wrath of God / I've noticed that board whipping is less effective than I thought in this deck and out of both Damnation Will be easier to cast with our mana production - Dictate of Erebos / As good as this card is Grave Pact does it for less. Additionally, I have never used its flash ability

Cards I put in: - Archaeomancer's Map / Better ramp - Blade of Selves / Myriad is crazy in this deck and can lead to quick victories or even infinite combos (which usually lead to victory) - Mondrak, Glory Dominus / This card is WAY TOO GOOD in this deck. It double tokens! It's a sacrifice outlet that makes it indestructible!! Also it combos infinitely with Blade of Selves and Ratadrabik of Urborg - Boromir, Warden of the Tower / This card alone is really good but it combos infinitely with Ratadrabik of Urborg and can be a powerful combo with cards like Grave Pact and Proper Burial - Gandalf the White / Double death triggers means double tokens with Ratadrabik of Urborg or quick wins with cards like Kokusho, the Evening Star

Things to change in the Future - Currently trying to fit "Samwise the Southearted" and "The Golden Throne" into the deck for a few additional mana combos / stabilize the mana production. - I might try to fit in "Dictate of Erebos" if possible...
