Minstrel Mk. II by user7261763

Format: Commander

Commander: The Wandering Minstrel

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The Wandering Minstrel leads a five-color Towns-and-Equipment hybrid. The commander's first ability untaps every Town land, turning a normally tapped nonbasic base into smooth ramp, while the second ability turns a large Town count into a mass +X/+X overrun. Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist acts as a hidden commander, moving all Equipment for free; Bruenor and Stoneforge Mystic build the suit, and Cloud/Tifa/Vincent supply the damage. The main line is a double-striking Vincent, pumped by the Minstrel and driven through Tifa's extra combat, dealing exactly 40 to each opponent. Secondary paths include wide Elemental tokens and a Voltron finish with Blackblade Reforged/Colossus Hammer, all protected by Conqueror's Flail and Clever Concealment.
