The 25 Best Commanders In MTG LOTR Tales of Middle-earth – 1. Gandalf the White

Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines has shown us how good a Panharmonicon can be in the command zone already, and Gandalf the White does similar for Legendary permanents and artifacts, while also giving you the extremely powerful ability to play at instant speed.

Gandalf arrives precisely when he means to, and he brings some of the best permanents in the game along with him, becoming a serious beating that can dictate the pace of the game all on his own. Similarly, Gandalf shows the power that the white slice of the color pie has been getting, really highlighting that mono white may not be the weakest option in the format anymore. Gandalf the White easily tops the rankings for power in Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, supporting Magic’s traditional underdog color spectacularly.
