Draft & Sealed Synergies

Best cards to pair with Wizard's Staff in The Hobbit limited

common

Gandalf, Wandering Wizard
Gandalf, Wandering Wizard
Legendary Creature — Avatar Wizard

Wizard's Staff equips to Wizards for only {1}, and Gandalf's ward ability combined with prowess and the Staff's double-trigger ability makes him an extremely difficult-to-remove, rapidly growing threat.

 Confusticate and Bebother
Confusticate and Bebother
Instant

Casting Confusticate and Bebother triggers prowess on the Wizard's Staff-equipped creature, and the draw-two mode generates card advantage to keep casting noncreature spells for repeated prowess triggers.

 Plunder the Trollshaws
Plunder the Trollshaws
Instant

Plunder the Trollshaws is a cheap noncreature spell that triggers prowess on the Wizard's Staff-equipped creature, and its flashback provides a second prowess trigger from the graveyard.

uncommon

Gandalf, Spark Starter
Gandalf, Spark Starter
Legendary Creature — Avatar Wizard

Gandalf, Spark Starter equips Wizard's Staff for only {1}, and the Staff's double-trigger ability doubles Gandalf's damage-dealing enter trigger, dealing 6 damage divided among targets instead of 3.

mythic

Gandalf, Goblins' Bane
Gandalf, Goblins' Bane
Legendary Creature — Avatar Wizard

Gandalf, Goblins' Bane already gets +1/+1 and deals damage whenever you cast noncreature spells, and Wizard's Staff equips cheaply to him while doubling his triggered ability to deal 2 damage to each opponent per noncreature spell.
