Is there any printed way to target Multani, Maro Sorcerer?
Commander Deck Help forum

Multani, Maro-Sorcerer has always been a favorite of mine, I've been toying with building a commander deck around him and can't find or think of a way to target him if I wanted to. ie equip him or enchant him and figured maybe the community would come up with a way to beef him up aside from the obvious global effects or symmetrical/asymmetrical effects.
An opponent activating Arcane Lighthouse will remove shroud, but that's not really something you can build around. Auras entering from a zone other than the stack don't target, so the copy of Gigantiform from kicking it could be attached, but that doesn't help too much with this deck idea. If you like the character rather than the card, Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar doesn't have shroud.

Gonna save some time on that step 4 Omniscience_is_life and just recommend Homeward Path or Brooding Saurian

Hero's Blad would work. There are multiple cards with a similar trigger:
With a Maskwood Nexus , Multani could trigger any of these.

This scryfall search should give you some useful results. 159 cards aren't unreasonable to go through. You could also try looking EDHrec for options from Haktos the Unscarred that aren't colour specific.

After going through the list, there are some that are useless, unfortunately. But it still seems kind of useful.

Thank you for the Ideas guys! Neotrup I own Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar , I just didn't fall in love with the card Multani, Maro-Sorcerer has just always been a favorite card, that and Kamahl, Fist of Krosa are probably my two favorite cards of all time. Multani just always looked awesome on that card, and the flavor text is my second favorite to OG Raging Goblin .

Am I missing something in what Gauntlets of Chaos does? Because the way I read it you would never be able to target Multani, Maro-Sorcerer to give it to an opponent, and it would destroy all auras attached to him when you switched control back. Or was what Omniscience_is_life said a joke that I just misunderstood?

Gidgetimer both are correct. I misread Gauntlets of Chaos while making a joke :)

This is not a rules question, but rather a general commander deck help question - I am going to move this thread for you.
I also want to provide another option - if you cheat an aura into play, you can attach it to a creature with hexproof or shroud. Auras only target when spells on the stack - when you cheat them into play, you attach them without targeting.

Reanimate some enchantments. If I recall correctly, auras (ex. Trollhide ) only target on CAST. If you reanimate them, you do not cast them, they just come into play attached to whatever you want them on. If you can get them out of your graveyard and into play (I can't think of any non-white spells that do an Obzedat's Aid or Retether impression), you can get them onto your Shroud'ed creatures.

It’s honestly super hard to attach auras to him, and even harder to do that with equipment. The best card I can think of is a big Genesis Wave putting a bunch of auras into play and attaching them to Multani. It’s a one time deal, though. I’d say white is much better at doing this than green is.

Greater Good and Nim Deathmantle works pretty well.
Find a way to get it into your hand, and use Scroll of Fate or Illusionary Mask , then use equipments and/or auras.
Yedora, Grave Gardener and any way to turn lands into creatures, then use Tawnos's Coffin .

Step one: Use Gauntlets of Chaos to give Multani, Maro-Sorcerer to an opponent.
Step two: Use Arcane Lighthouse to remove shroud from him.
Step three: Enchant him with everything you want.
Step four: Use Eternal Witness to get back the Gauntlets.
Step five: Use the Gauntlets once more to get your commander back!
