About Gandalf's Sanction

Gandalf's Sanction, Sorcery, designed by Tatiana Veryayskaya first released in Jun, 2023 in the set The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.

This card would benefit a deck focused on casting a high number of instant and sorcery spells to fill up the graveyard quickly, such as a spell-heavy control or tempo deck. While Gandalf's Sanction can be powerful in the right deck, there are potentially better options like Electrolyze which can also deal damage to a target creature or player, draw a card, and doesn't require the graveyard to be filled to be effective. Whether Gandalf's Sanction should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck it's being considered for.
