The Commander
Whenever you cast an Adventure spell, you may copy it. You may choose new targets for the copy.
Guide
Gameplan
Build a critical mass of Adventure creatures and abuse the cast-side spells, copying each one for double the removal, ramp, card draw, or buffs while still getting the creature later. You grind value every turn off cheap adventures, then close with a wide board or a copied game-ending spell. Gorion himself is a 3-mana enabler with vigilance, so he attacks and blocks while you develop.
Strengths
- Generates massive two-for-one (or more) value every time you cast an Adventure spell
- Bant colors give access to the best ramp, card draw, removal, and protection
- Cheap commander that immediately impacts the board and is easy to recast
- Copy effects double removal and tutors, scaling well with cost reducers and free-cast effects
Weaknesses
- Heavily reliant on Gorion staying on the battlefield; vulnerable to commander removal
- Adventure card pool is shallow, forcing some mediocre includes
- Copies inherit targets, so spells without targets (or board wipes) gain less from his ability
- Can be slow and grindy against dedicated combo or fast aggro decks
Key Cards
- Bonecrusher Giant — Stomp is repeatable removal that Gorion copies to kill two creatures while you still bank the body.
- Brazen Borrower — Petty Theft copied bounces two permanents, doubling as tempo and protection in blue.
- Beanstalk Giant — Fertile Footfalls copied ramps two lands at once, accelerating your value engine.
- Lucky Clover — Stacks with Gorion to triple your Adventure spells for explosive value turns.
- Hypothesizer — Pore Over the Pages copied draws extra cards and untaps lands, fueling more adventures.
- Smaug, the Golden — Adventure-style payoff and a big finisher that benefits from copied removal support.
Upgrade Path
Add cost reducers and copy enablers like Lucky Clover, Naban-style doublers are limited but seek out more free-cast and untap effects to chain adventures in a turn. Prioritize the strongest stand-alone Adventure cards (Bonecrusher Giant, Brazen Borrower, Murderous Rider) and round out with Bant staples for ramp (Cultivate, Three Visits) and protection (Heroic Intervention, Swiftfoot Boots). Tighten the curve and add card-selection so you reliably keep Gorion online and chain value every turn.
