🖋️ Curator's Notes

Reach

When Gandalf enters, he deals 3 damage divided as you choose among one, two, or three targets.

"Gandalf thought of most things; and though he could not do everything, he could do a great deal for friends in a tight corner."

Official Judge Precedents

2 Precedents

2026-06-29

If some of the targets are illegal targets as Gandalf's triggered ability tries to resolve, the original division of damage still applies but no damage is dealt to the illegal targets. If all targets are illegal, Gandalf's triggered ability doesn't resolve.

2026-06-29

You choose how many targets Gandalf's triggered ability has and how the damage is divided as you put the ability on the stack. Each target must receive at least 1 damage.
