Is Minsc and boo a good commander?

I already loved the creature Minsc and Boo, and this planeswalker commander is really catching my attention, so I'm trying to theory craft a little to see what I can do with the deck. any help and ideas would be highly appreciated

So far, im working with a number of ways to get use out of the Boos like Impact Tremors and Purphuros (maaaaybe Terror and Warstorm, not sure yet), Goblin Bombardment, etc. As well, getting other "hamsters" out, and having lots of ways to increase the power of creatures in general will help so when i do sacrifice a hamster, i get as much damage and draw out of it as I can.

Doubling Season and Vorinclex fit perfectly into this deck, both to give Minsc double counters on entering, and give you double boos (for Season) which doubles your etbs and death triggers.

Colossification and Rancor seem like power houses here, as colosification is essentially 7 mana to deal 21 damage to a target and draw 21 cards, and rancor is a 1 mana repeatable +2.

Anger, Hot Spring, and Kodama are ways to give all your creatures Trample/Haste, giving you more targets to put minsc's +1 counters on

Bogbonder and Ozolith obviously let me move around my counters as needed, potentially making a very big creature to then fling for a huge hit

Crawling Barens is a neat land that I can repeatedly dump extra mana into as needed, and eventually have a really big creature towards endgame to possible finish off an opponent or two with (via attacking and/or flinging)

Protean Hulk, Temur Sabertooth, and Dockside, along with anything that I can dump large ammounts of mana into make up a single combo package that I can go for if I really need it, as well as just being good individually regardless.

Wizards of the Coast is returning to the world of Dungeons & Dragons with Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate, the second draftable Commander set that will introduce dozens of new legendary creatures to Magic: The Gathering.

Commander Legends in 2020 was the first draftable Commander set that also introduced cards directly to the multiplayer format. The upcoming edition to the series brings back mechanics introduced in Adventures in the Forgotten Realms and combines them with characters and settings from the Baldur’s Gate series. Battle for Baldur’s Gate releases on June 10.

Minsc and Boo appeared in Adventures in the Forgotten Realms as a three-color legendary creature. Minsc enters the battlefield and creates a Boo token that can grow to a massive size with Minsc’s activated ability.

Similar to the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms version, Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes from Battle for Baldur’s Gate creates a Boo creature token that can quickly become the largest threat on the battlefield. It’s another flavorful rendition of the beloved Baldur’s Gate duo.

  • Rarity: Mythic Rare
  • Starting loyalty: Three
  • Static ability: When Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes enters the battlefield and at the beginning of your upkeep, you may create Boo, a legendary 1/1 Red Hamster Creature token with trample and haste.
  • First ability: +1: Put three +1/+1 counters on up to one target Creature with trample or haste.
  • Second ability: -2: Sacrifice a Creature. When you do, Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes deals X damage to any target, where X is that Creature’s power. If the sacrificed Creature was a Hamster, draw X cards.
  • Third ability: Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes can be your commander.

Minsc & Boo is a great planeswalker for an aggressive R/G deck. It works well in the 99 as a self-contained powerful card. The card also could perform well as the commander of a R/G deck that runs exclusively creatures with trample or haste.

Whichever direction you take with Minsc & Boo, it’ll be a worthwhile card that makes an impact on the battlefield immediately. This planeswalker enters the battlefield with a 1/1 token with trample and haste that can instantly get three +1/+1 counters. Any other cards with those keywords can get the counters instead, which gives Minsc & Boo solid flexibility.

The -2 ability has game-ending potential and will have a substantial impact on Battle for Baldur’s Gate Limited games. It can deal direct damage to opponents or any key creatures. You can sacrifice the Boo token and get another one the next turn. R/G decks have access to high-powered creatures that will hit for four or five damage regularly when sacrificed.

Does Minsc and boo Do commander damage?

Haste and trample both become relevant if that sword of Blackblade Reforged, easier to equip since Boo is legendary. On top of that, we can pile Xenagos, God of Revels. It's unfortunate that Boo can't kill with commander damage, because 21 in a single shot isn't out of the realm of possibilities.

How do you beat boo and Minsc?

The overall plan for the deck is to try to consistently cast Minsc & Boo on turn three thanks to one and two-mana ramp effects, use Minsc's +1 immediately to turn Boo into an early 4/4 threat, then beat down with more strong haste & trample creatures to further leverage the +1 ability.
