Grand Larceny Commander Deck List

Here's the full Grand Larceny deck list broken down by card type.

Grand Larceny Commander Deck Themes

The main theme for Grand Larceny is right there in the name. This deck aims to steal everything that isn't nailed down, whether that's coming directly from your opponent's library (Dream-Thief's Bandana), cards that are already in play (Hostage Taker), or cards in your opponent's graveyard (Diluvian Primordial, Arcane Heist).

Exactly how you steal those cards will come in a few different flavors. The main way is by exiling the top card of your opponent's library and allowing you to cast that spell using mana of any color. Another way is by manifesting your opponent's cards (such as with Thieving Amalgam or Orochi Soul-Reaver) and then paying their casting cost to flip them over. There are also a few cards that let you steal until the end of the turn (such as Nashi, Moon Sage's Scion or Stolen Goods).

But best of all are the cards that just allow you to play your opponent's spells without paying for them. Cards like Diluvian Primordial, Villainous Wealth, and Mind's Dilation all allow you to play your opponent's cards without needing to tap any additional mana.

The great thing about theft as a strategy is that your deck's win condition essentially becomes your opponent's win condition, whether that's making a bunch of tokens, playing a bunch of damage spells, or comboing-off with several cards. Even if you don't necessarily steal enough cards to fully adopt your opponent's strategy, it's often enough to disrupt their plans and let you pull ahead.

If your "steal everything" plan doesn't quite pan out, you can always fall back on Grand Larceny's secondary theme of unblockable creatures. There are plenty of creatures in Grand Larceny that either have evasive keywords like menace or flying, or flat-out can't be blocked (like Slither Blade and Silhana Ledgewalker).

These unblockable creatures provide you with further avenues for theft via Gonti, Canny Acuisitor, Dream-Thief's Bandanna, or Arcane Heist.

They're also the perfect way to insert ninjas like Silent-Blade Oni and Orochi Soul-Reaver for surprise damage.

Speaking of Gonti, Canny Acquisitor, this Aetherborn Rogue is your box-topper choice for commander, and it's not hard to see why. With all your evasive creatures, you'll be sure to get immense value out of Gonti's ability to turn every creature that deals damage to a player into opportunities for taking your opponent's spells.

Next is Gonti's second in command, Felix Five-Boots. This Ooze is an extremely potent commander choice that could easily substitute for Gonti in Grand Larceny. That said, Felix would be best served by a deck 🔯built specifically around getting as triggered ability activations as possible, which would make theft-specific cards like Thieving Varmint and Sage of the Beyond less useful.

Your third option would be the partners Cazur, Ruthless Stalker and Ukkima, Stalking Shadow. While these cards would maintain the blue, black, and green colors and provide a decent escalating threat, they don't quite fit Grand Larceny's theme when used as commanders.

For the purposes of this guide, stick with Gonti, Canny Acquisitor as your commander.

Grand Larceny Commander Deck Analysis

Grand Larceny is pretty good straight out of the box. The deck is mostly creatures that play well with your commander's ability, with a supporting cast of instant-speed answers, board sweepers, and ramp spells. A solid base of artifacts and lands provides sufficient mana to keep the whole thing rolling.

While it's great to steal your opponent's cards, having plenty of your own cards in hand is not a bad idea. And while most of the creatures in Grand Larceny are good, a few stinkers could be replaced for something better.

Finally, a few more threats in Grand Larceny would give the deck win conditions of its own rather than relying on whatever you stཧeal🐻 from your opponents.

Underperforming Cards

Void Attendant is the first recommended cut. Turning stolen cards into 1/1 tokens that could later be turned into mana isn't a bad ability, but it's not likely to be your best option all that often.

Bladegriff Prototype isn't bad, but its effect doesn't always help you as much as it helps others, and once a multiplayer game is down to two players, it's basically just your opponent sacrificing permanents, which might not be that impactful in the late game. Better to cut it for something that's more consistently helpful.

The Mimeoplasm is a good card, but it's mostly graveyard hate with the potential to be a big monster. As with the Bladegriff, we can substitute for something more consistent and also more on-brand with Grand Larceny's thieving theme.

Sage of the Beyond is fairly expensive and doesn't provide a lot of power to back up its price tag. Yes, making stolen cards cost two mana less is good, but you already get a discount from Gonti. There are better options here.

Culling Ritual is a decent board sweeper and ramp card, but we've got enough ramp and there are better sweepers out there. A single act of theft isn't as good as repeatable theft, which gives Stolen Goods the boot, and Chaos Wand is just really expensive thievery when we could just tap an unblockable critter, so it's cut too.

Slither Blade and Triton Shorestalker are both fine cheap unblockable creatures, but they aren't very good for the late game. We've got two much better options to discuss in the budget upgrades section below.

Grand Larceny Commander Deck Budget Upgrades

More consistency, more power, more thieving, and more flexibility—these are the cornerstones of any good Commander deck, plus thieving. These cards will give Grand Larceny that extra oomph to take games as🍸 well as spells.

Other Budget Upgrades To Consider

• Some might consider Grand Larceny a little light on instant-speed removal. Beast Within, Pongify, Rapid Hybridization, and Assassin's Trophy are all great options.
• Swiftfoot Boots and Whispersilk Cloak are good ways to keep Gonti alive, which can be a problem.
• Wayfarer's Bauble is a bit better than Prismatic Lens as a mana artifact.
• Nightveil Specter and Grima, Saruman's Footman are both great creatures that totally fit Grand Larceny's theme.
• If you feel you can spare a basic land, Rogue's Passage gives you another option for making a creature unblockable (that might even be better than Access Tunnel).
