Gonti, Canny Acquisitor
Legendary Creature — Aetherborn Rogue
Gonti wants a deck that plays creatures face down and flips them for a surprise. It leads the ready-made Grand Larceny deck (2024).

Spells you cast but don't own cost less to cast.
Whenever one or more creatures you control deal combat damage to a player, look at the top card of that player's library, then exile it face down. You may play that card for as long as it remains exiled, and mana of any type can be spent to cast that spell.

Cards That Fit Gonti, Canny Acquisitor
Picked for what they do in Gonti's deck. When two cards do the same job, the one with the lower comes first. All of them fit Gonti's color identity.Mana ValueThe total amount of mana a card costs, all added up. A card costing two generic and one green has a mana value of three. Wizards renamed this from "converted mana cost" in 2021, so older cards and articles may still use the old name.

Rulings for Gonti, Canny Acquisitor
explain how Gonti works in tricky situations. They come from Wizards of the Coast, the company that makes Magic.RulingThe official answer to how a card works in a tricky situation. Most rulings are written by Wizards of the Coast, the company that makes Magic, and a few are notes from Scryfall, the card database Magic players use. A ruling explains a card. It does not change what the card says.Open the full glossary
If you leave the game, any remaining face-down exiled cards remain exiled face down indefinitely. No player may look at them.
Playing an exiled card causes it to leave exile. You can’t play it multiple times.
You may look at and play cards exiled face down with Gonti’s last ability (and spend mana of any type to do so) even if Gonti leaves the battlefield. If another player gains control of Gonti, that player can’t look at or play cards already exiled with Gonti, and you still can.
You pay all costs and follow all normal timing rules for cards played from exile with Gonti’s last ability. For example, if the exiled card is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty.
