Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes

Legendary Planeswalker — Minsc

When this enters and at the beginning of your upkeep, you may create Boo, a legendary 1/1 red Hamster creature token with trample and haste.

+1: Put three +1/+1 counters on up to one target creature with trample or haste.

-2: Sacrifice a creature. When you do, this deals X damage to any target (creature, player, planeswalker or battle), where X is that creature's power. If the sacrificed creature was a Hamster, draw X cards.

This can be your commander.

Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes do not show up in playtest v1 in a deck I made. Tried both versions, deleting image cache...etc

Cube somehow got over 450. Strangleroot Geist was the last card. Still need to fit it in. And it's hamster time.

Well the last salty situation I was in was playing someone's Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes deck against them. They had a Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm deck popping off & Terror of the Peaks to boot - those megathreats all got returned to hand by someone else (with onboard haste). Instead of using the draw function I just aggro killed him somewhat early with the hamster... It is funny, sometimes I just acknowledge someone with a "yep"/"killing you is still the plan" & when I just acknowledge, then move on they will almost start to talk themselves into a really convincing argument for why player elimination was the right move. Often enough I get the "I had X & Y waiting in hand" & I just go: "you are not making me feel worse about making sure that didn't happen" :) It is just kindof funny how 80% of these individuals just want to vent some sort of closure & when they've said their piece, usually, you can let their own words sink in. This is an outlier situation as well, I usually just use equal Machiavellian strategy without cutting any deals & usually without needing to offer much rationale & typically it is just an accepted thing.

I think they are getting to be pretty 'meh'. Wizards seem to have learned the lesson from Oko that making them really powerful can be a big mistake. There are some interesting designs still, but they are far less impactful compared to what they used to be. Personally I have a Dihada, Binder of Wills deck and I enjoy the interplay between her +2 and -3 abilities, but it takes a deck built around using that which I think is good. Generically good planeswalkers aren't great for the game usually. I also really like the design of Tasha, the Witch Queen and Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes as well.

I don't think planeswalkers are necessarily a problem in the formats I play (commander and limited) but I don't think it would be super healthy to give them a bunch of new tools either. I'm slightly concerned that the amount of proliferate in All Will Be One could end up being problematic.

Removed: Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes, Blades of Velis Vel, and Volatile Claws

Too gimmicky and hard to use, and we really needed to the following cards to make the deck that much more vicious!

Added: Mage Slayer, Rhythm of the Wild, and Stalking Vengeance

My thoughts Show

Wand of Wonder: Deluxe Chaos Wand for one more mana to cast (but the same for actually activating). Even if you can't rely on getting more than one spell (it'll "only" happen 55% of the time), the fact that you don't have to guess which opponent has the best spell cards in their deck (hell, you get to reveal quite a bit of information for everyone to see) and get to choose among three cards makes the risk of whiffing with stuff like Torment of Hailfire or Elvish Promenade much less likely. Prosper obviously enjoys this, even if the exta red pip makes it a bit harder to reliably cast off an impulse draw. Oh and note that whatever spell cards you don't choose to cast stays exiled.

Ancient Brass Dragon: I was annoyed about the color assignment of the chromatic dragons and I'm annoyed about this. Hell, now the visual color doesn't even apply; how is a shiny Chaotic Good creature mono-black? The actual card is an OK Timmy creature. No haste or self-protection along with unreliability isn't super great, but it'll occassionaly be quite funny when it gets in hits multiple turns in a row.

Elder Brain: Not a dnd expert but I though these were supposed to be immobile? Anyway, obviously funny with Notion Thief

Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes: I don't see much appeal for running him as a commander beyond fan-service. Anyway, changelings are also Hamsters so you could fling e.g. a Taurean Mauler to net the draw. Oh and with a Mirror Box you can make extra Boos!
