Gandalf, Friend of the Shire, has flash, allowing you to cast him at instant speed. He enables sorcery spells to be played as though they had flash, adding surprise elements to your strategy. Additionally, when the Ring tempts you and you choose a creature other than Gandalf as your Ring-bearer, you can draw a card, providing card advantage in decks that focus on Ring mechanics. **As a Commander:** Gandalf's abilities lend themselves to a tempo-oriented strategy, particularly in Azorius (WU) builds that leverage instant-speed spells and creature synergies. However, his ability may be better suited in the 99 of a deck due to his moderate stats and the potential for other commanders to better utilise the Ring mechanics.
