Wandering Minstrel Deck Review | Sleeve it or Leave it? (Christian’s List Breakdown)

Tim and Tanner here with a brand new series for the shop: Sleeve it or Leave it! 🎬

In this series, we take lists submitted by our community and break them down card by card to see if they’re truly worth sleeving up — or if they should be left behind.

For Episode 1, we’re kicking things off with a Wandering Minstrel list submitted by our friend Christian (yep, the same Christian that helped us snag the Spider-Man decks). Since Tim already has deep experience piloting Minstrel, this was the perfect deck to start with.

We cover:
• 🧙‍♂️ Key creatures like Hermit Druid, Aftermath Analyst, and Lotus Cobra
• 🌍 Land package choices including Strip Mine, Shifting Woodlands, and Port of Karfell lines
• 💀 Combo engines from Sevinne’s Rec + Breach loops to Thassa’s Oracle + Consultation
• ⚔️ Interaction pieces like Silence, Fierce Guardianship, and Gifts Ungiven
• 🤔 The questionable inclusions… like Ad Nauseam in Minstrel (Christian, we need answers!)

At the end, we each give our verdict: Leave It or Sleeve It ✅

This is a fun, competitive, and interactive way to spotlight community decks while sharing our thoughts on meta calls, combos, and tech choices.
