Overview:
A high-powered Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes deck that combines explosive mana acceleration with both combo potential and commander-centric aggro strategies, capable of both grinding value and executing quick wins through various synergistic lines.
Primer:
The deck operates on multiple axes, leveraging both fair and unfair strategies. The primary gameplan involves rapidly deploying Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes through extensive mana acceleration, then either pursuing an aggressive strategy by pumping Boo or other creatures with the +1 ability, or setting up various combo lines. Key combo pieces include Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker with Zealous Conscripts, and Protean Hulk lines.
The deck features extensive mana acceleration through creatures and enchantments, allowing for consistently early deployment of threats. The inclusion of powerful tutors like Natural Order, Green Sun's Zenith, and Worldly Tutor provides reliable access to key pieces. The deck can pivot between aggressive beats with commander damage through pump spells, or combo kills through various creature-based interactions.
Weaknesses:
Heavy reliance on creatures makes the deck vulnerable to board wipes and removal. The mana base could be improved with more dual lands and fetches for better consistency. The deck can struggle against heavy control strategies that prevent creature-based plays from resolving. The relatively low land count could lead to consistency issues in longer games.

- Consistency: 7/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a higher power level than typical casual builds due to its efficient tutors and combo potential, but falls short of true cEDH territory due to its reliance on creature-based strategies and somewhat inconsistent mana base. It can threaten wins as early as turn 4-5 with optimal draws but typically operates in the turn 6-7 range. The deck's ability to switch between aggressive and combo strategies provides flexibility, but its relatively low interaction suite prevents it from consistently competing with the highest-powered decks.
Final power level rating: 6.5 - 7.0
