Gandalf, Friend of the Shire, has Flash and allows you to cast sorcery spells as though they had Flash, giving you flexibility during your opponents' turns. Additionally, when the Ring tempts you, drawing a card if you chose a creature other than Gandalf as your Ring-bearer can help maintain card advantage. This card fits well in control or tempo decks that benefit from reactive gameplay and sorcery interactions. **As a Commander:** Gandalf’s ability to grant Flash to sorceries and draw cards makes him a compelling choice for a blue-based control deck. His colour identity of Azorius (WU) allows for a variety of strategies, but he may function better in the 99 of decks that can fully utilise his abilities while focusing on a different commander.
