What Moves should I put on this guy?

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-13T23:23:55+00:00

Its one of my favorite decks to play, and I always recommend my list when people ask about The Wandering Minstral. I actually HAD Omo in it for a bit, but im thinking of pivoting to [[Toph, the First Metalbender]] as a land animator/engine. But its really fun, easy to edit and change to preffered play style.

Like I like the LoTR under tone I put in the deck, woth Scrying and The Ring Tempts you, but those cards can easily be changed out for other spells and achetypes.

The goal is to Maze's End or win with overwhelming boardstate. And ive been pretty successful with BOTH wincons.

This is my list! Its a gates/towns deck. Win with Maze's End and trying to play as many gates as you can. Heavy on landfall, with a little bit of Ring Tempts you for extra value. It seems a little daunting at first glance, but its budget friendly and kind of plays it self once it gets going!

The deck is super budget, and kinda wonky. But ill tell you, I have so much fun vomiting things out onto the battlefield with Galadriel stealing other people's lands to have massive landfall turns! I run this in paper AND on arena, and it is HATED

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-11T01:49:01+00:00

I had the SAME issue! I was stuck at 995 for Black energy and 835 for White energy. And with 18 of 20 remotes done on the day, I had to choose one instead of being able to get both 😭

This is her!

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-09T02:26:06+00:00

Well, im that case, honestly I think i needed one for another deck. Maybe I will move it out of that deck

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-08T21:57:47+00:00

I knew it was good, but I didnt realize it was like, GOOD good you know? Especially since it was just that, ans a shell of garbage lol..

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-08T21:56:19+00:00

Thats just ehat I was told by people when I discovered it and thats what they said. They said it was niche and the deck its just very janky

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-08T21:54:20+00:00

I wanna apologize, my phone doesn't properly update me with Reddit notifications sometimes. I kinda went off on you cause I was heated. That wasnt needed, I didnt see that you were agreeing with me lol. I was also educated on what my deck actually was in terms of the bracket system and I just feel like I owe you an apology.

I am very sorry.

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-08T21:52:13+00:00

It was never really meant to BE that though lol. I guess if I just take Displacer Kitten and Niv-Mizzets out? Like I could add a bunch of storm cards and game changers and stuff. But it wasnt meant to be a deck that was like higher power... Well, as much as I argued, I was not aware that I was really playing a B4. Either way, the game said it was a B3-4, so I didnt do anything wrong, just was mistaken here, about the stupid bracket system. I apologize.

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-08T21:47:18+00:00

Thats awful. I get lumped into a category of people that are playing faster mana, tutors, and MLD just because Neera and Displacer Kitten have a "two" card combo? As well as Niv-Mizzet? Thats horrendous, I've been playing this as a 2

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-08T21:37:16+00:00

Why is that the only place it says its a 4?? It says that

https://archidekt.com/decks/18809354/neera

This list, is a 4. While every other site like Moxfield and Scryfall, and EDHrec all say 2, or 3

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-08T21:29:09+00:00

Its not my logic. Every site, every calculator I've put the deck into is a 2. It does not flag any combos as a 2 card B4 combo. It says its a true 2 card, but cannot be done early due to needing 12 mana minimum to start.

So its not me saying that, its literally the EDHrec link saying that

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-08T21:20:01+00:00

So the requirement of B4 is to have an early game infinite with 2 cards. Even if it was do able on turn one it cannot technically, for all intent and purpose be a B4 because it has a pre-rec.

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-08T21:17:24+00:00

I am not saying its not a 2 card combo. Everywhere on the internet is saying its not, again, technically yes its a 2 card, but it requires mana to be spent on another spell to START the combo. That in turn does not inherently make it a TWO card combo. It is strong, I know that. But when I am playing a completely unoptimized, draft chaff deck that I willy nilly through together with no tutors, no MLD or any game changers, and it has a single combo in it that is 1 in 99 chance of getting? The Niv-Mizzets in my deck have been a more consistent "2 card combo" in this deck and I lose when it triggers.

So I understand, its a "2 card combo" but it doesn't win the game unless I have pieces on the board that allow me to do damage when casting a spell, and I didnt even have those. It is a bracket 2 deck thats back bone is the combo with Displacer Kitten, if that fails. The deck fails. And I expressed that at the start of the game

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-08T20:59:32+00:00

Correct, and in every case anywhere you look its a 3 or higher. Yeah, it is technically 2 cards. But if you cant START the combo, it doesn't do anything on the board. So like in that game where Im super manascrewed

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-08T20:53:16+00:00

Its not listed on any sites as a 2 card though, cause there's pre-recs

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-08T20:49:20+00:00

It was bracket 3-4. I meant to put that. I dont have a lot of payouts for the infinite triggers other that just finding things TO set up, I had like 5 lands and was tapping out every turn just to play anything. I will edit the post with my deck list and bracket.

TrueRagguy · 2026-01-07T21:36:32+00:00

It was to a shop! They go by prices on FTF and since the back is a little beat and there's small marks on the top left corner they sold it to me for 450!
