Gandalf's Wrath: The Wizard's Wisdom

Unleash the might of the Istari with Gandalf's Sanction, a sorcery that embodies the cunning intellect of Middle-earth's greatest wizard. For just {1}{U}{R}, this card allows you to deal X damage to a target creature, where X corresponds to the number of instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard. Imagine the look of dread on your opponent's face as you channel your vast knowledge of spells—every card you’ve cast is a stepping stone to unleashing devastating damage. This synergy with cards like Archaeomancer or Past in Flames can lead to explosive turns, maximizing your graveyard's potential to turn the tide of battle.

The clever spellcaster knows that knowledge is power, and with Gandalf's Sanction, you become a master of the battlefield. Just as Gandalf stood against the darkness, so too can you wield this spell to eliminate threats. Remember, excess damage will be redirected to the creature's controller, adding a strategic layer to your play. Make sure your graveyard is stocked; your enemies will have no idea what hit them!
