Wandering Minstrel Test 500 by Avissar

Format: Commander

Commander: The Wandering Minstrel

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Towns and landfall deck uses The Wandering Minstrel to make its tapped Towns and bounce lands enter untapped, then floods the board with landfall tokens. The primary plan builds value with extra land drops from Oracle of Mul Daya, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove and Azusa and payoffs like Scute Swarm, Rampaging Baloths, Felidar Retreat and Emeria Angel, then wins with Craterhoof Behemoth, Moonshaker Cavalry, Overwhelming Stampede or the Minstrel's WUBRG anthem. Secondary paths go infinite with Retreat to Coralhelm + Springheart Nantuko + bounce lands + extra land drops for infinite tokens, or Ashaya + Magus of the Candelabra + Mana Reflection for infinite mana. Aesi and Tatyova act as hidden draw engines.
