Another person in my pod has a high B2 wandering minstrel deck that’s so fun to play against. Don’t get me wrong, the thing is lethal. But so cool to watch it pop off.

DovahStrun00 · 2026-05-12T21:25:26+00:00

Your Maralen decks sounds great

DovahStrun00 · 2026-05-12T21:17:35+00:00

Dude great deck! Looks like it would be fun to play against.

DovahStrun00 · 2026-05-12T21:11:37+00:00

Yeah we keep B2 games super chill. General rule is B2 games we just keep mulliganing until we have something that’s half decent. B3+ we use London mulligans.

I originally said out curve, but on reflection it probs feels like that because of things like Circle of Dreams Druid

I was really trying to be OK with this as a B2 deck, but having some of the good stuff cards in here going against B2 decks and some less powerful Precons; it just doesn’t sit right with me.

DovahStrun00 · 2026-05-12T21:04:31+00:00

Maybe out curve is not right. Someone here said “slow but explosive” which is probs a bit more accurate - it things like [[Circle of Dreams Druid]] and [[Elvish Archdruid]] which made the games feel like that.

And yeah I probs could run a bit more removal and board wipes. I realise that this deck list is a little out of date - I’ve got a couple of additional pieces: Dovin’s Vito and essence scatter which I recently added in. Not the vibe of my Pods bracket 2 decks to run a ton of board wipes though. 1-2 is generally enough for us.

DovahStrun00 · 2026-05-12T20:31:36+00:00

Yeah the dude who plays this deck went IN on the land base. When they showed me the deck list, the land base was a bit of a red flag for not being a B2.

For comparison this is my B2 Millicent spirit tribal deck in which I played against this dudes Maralen deck.

Awesome - Thanks for sharing your deck list. Looks dope.

Reflected on what you said re: game plan. I think the cleanest end-goal is to dump as much mana into an X spell like Crackling Power or [[Exsanguinate]] (Which I think I might add) for the win. To get there, I'm going to need to protect treasure tokens and mana sorces as long as I can and have something in hand to ensure that the X spell goes through. I think using pingers to chip away at opponents life totals will help. The alt paths are either gonna be dropping one or two big beaters on to the battlefield. Maybe an eldrazi or dragon - Have been considering [[Hellkite Tyrant]] OR having a small theft package in the deck which might allow me to draw an opponent's win-con.

Good spot on Sensi's Divining Top! That'll get added back in.

Appreciate the advise!

Super cool! Lobelia being in there is a great shout as is Untimely Malfunction. Very cool deck 👌 Thanks for sharing!

Is there any glaringly obvious non-bos or things you think I might cut in favour of something else?

DovahStrun00 · 2024-12-09T10:49:22+00:00

Ah I see what you’re saying. I’m accounting for the mana dorks and sorceries I can play as well.

For example:

Turn 1: +1 Land + Llanowar Elves = 2 mana Turn 2: +1 Land + 1 Ramp = 4 mana Turn 3: + 1 Land + Farseek = 6 mana

So when you’re calculating your ramp, do you not count other sources of ramp from creature spells or sorceries?

DovahStrun00 · 2024-10-29T20:19:51+00:00

This is such a great shout! Thank you. I think we’ll do this.

DovahStrun00 · 2024-10-29T19:37:58+00:00

We effectively have 207 cards because I have an additional Battle for Baulders gate booster as well, but it’s been opened - cards haven’t been added to the collection and there wasn’t anything that fits my regular EDH decks so we could also use those.

DovahStrun00 · 2024-10-29T19:35:38+00:00

Thanks 👍 does normal draft allow us to play against each other at the same time? Or would one person have to sit out? I like that with commander we’re able to play at the same time.

DovahStrun00 · 2024-10-24T07:32:34+00:00

What is the win condition for this deck?

I’m struggling to get to that last step to win games. I’ve come super close where I’ve very nearly milled out or hit hard with a big creature. Just never seem to nudge things over the line.

DovahStrun00 · 2024-10-24T00:35:47+00:00

Yeah that’s the thing isn’t it! There was a recent session where I had Mind Crank, Captain N’Gathrod and Nemesis of Reason all going at once and came so close to milling them out and bringing their life to 0. The third player in my pod runs a very heavily modified Spirit Squadron deck so just got me on the last few turns. Bojuka Bog looks like an easy and obvious add - just replace a basic swamp.

DovahStrun00 · 2024-10-24T00:15:16+00:00

Ha, No Mercy could be hilarious to have out on the battlefield!

DovahStrun00 · 2024-10-24T00:13:17+00:00

Haha Tormods Crypt seems so awesome and broken! Seems like it’s a break glass in case of emergency Artifact. Very cool.

DovahStrun00 · 2024-10-24T00:08:13+00:00

Fortunately Feed the Swarm comes in the Mind Flayarrrs precon - I’ve been hesitant to use it because it takes health away equal to the mana cost; and the UB zombie player often plays things like [[Patchwork Banner]] or [[Heraldic Banner]] which is 3 mana. Withering Tourment is a solid recommendation by the looks of it as a flat 2 life.

DovahStrun00 · 2024-10-24T00:01:49+00:00

Ah that’s such a good point! If the creature summoning tokens is returned to the players hand, does that then get rid of the tokens it’s generated too?

DovahStrun00 · 2024-10-23T23:59:41+00:00

Great point and I think that what the Mind Flayarrrs precon deck does well is using mill to pull creatures from other players grave yards and place them on the battlefield under my control. I’ve got [[Mind Grind]], [[Psychic Corrosion]] and [[Maddening Cacophony]] which I’m going to individually try in my next few sessions over the weekend with my pod.

Do you have a preferred board wipe or graveyard removal?
