Commander: The Wandering Minstrel

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The Wandering Minstrel is a five-color landfall deck that uses the commander's 'lands you control enter untapped' ability to turn the many tapped lands into a ramp engine. The primary plan is to chain extra land drops with landfall token generators, then finish with the Minstrel's overrun, which gives all other creatures +X/+X where X is the number of Towns. Secondary paths include Felidar Sovereign and Test of Endurance life-based wins, plus counter doubling through Bristly Bill and Mossborn Hydra. The commander is the key enabler and finisher; without it, the deck is a slower but still functional landfall deck.
