smack80 on Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes

For Minsc and Boo, don't sleep on the land Gnottvold Slumbermound, it destroys a land (maze of ith, etc) as well as making a creature with trample.

I find that Vigilance is Minsc and Boo's best friend. I swear my life on Questing Beast, Elder Gargaroth, Wilson, Refined Grizzly, and Untamed Kavu. You need to defend him against 3 attack phases every turn, you need vigilance.

Here's my list: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/minsc-and-boo-and-friends/

wallisface, no, your response is not harsh, but I was erring on the side of caution, since I believe that some creatures today are simply far too powerful (with Elder Gargaroth, Baneslayer Angel, or Phyrexian Obliterator being some key examples, and I shall think of more, later), so I can certianly modify both of these creatures, if you believe that that would improve them.

I have replaced Thought Vessel, Decanter of Endless Water, Chromatic Lantern, and Shared Summons with Steward of Valeron, Faeburrow Elder, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, and Elder Gargaroth, because this deck has a strong emphasis on creatures, and, while it is unfortunate to have one less tutor effect in this deck, I am certain that the newer cards will better suit this deck's theme, and this deck does still contain a tutor in the form of Chord of Calling, as that card is too awesome to remove from this deck.

I wonder if I should put Elder Gargaroth into this deck, as that card certainly would be an excellent match for the themes of this deck?

That's fair, didn't think about how Elder Gargaroth dodges Fatal Push and Prismatic Ending, and forgot about Goblin Dark-Dwellers recasting things.

CommanderNeyo: ragavan is too easily blocked to guarantee a land destruction spell turn 2. Elder Gargaroth is my beater of choice. drawing cards and/or making 3/3 tokens is plenty of card advantage while not being in Fatal Push or Prismatic Ending range. i only have 20 lands, so i wont be saccing one for Boom / Bust. Fulminator Mage can't be re-cast with Goblin Dark-Dwellers.

Dang, this deck seems so annoying to play against... and quite good!

A couple thoughts:

• You could include Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer as one of the 1-drop ramp spells, since he also acts as card advantage.

• Instead of Elder Gargaroth, you could play other cheaper threats, such as Seasoned Pyromancer, Dragon's Rage Channeler, Fear of Missing Out, Inti, Seneschal of the Sun, or Questing Druid that also provide some card filtering/advantage. That way, you can play them as well as your land destruction.

i'd recommend cutting birds and kinnan for Arbor Elf and Utopia Sprawl, then cutting Yavimaya Coast and adding Misty Rainforest and Breeding Pool. 7 mana cards are a bit expensive for modern, but Elder Gargaroth is pretty nice. i'd cut the Gods Willing since you have no lands that produce white. Ram Through is probably your best removal option in green if you stick to tramplers.
