I've tried countless times to build a Minthara deck but always end up with 200+ playables and give up before getting it down to 100. Thanks for sharing your brew!
I also have a Minthara pEDH deck. However, I don't have a pEDH scene where I live. I just wanted to try building a pEDH deck and went with Minthara because there were too many Orzhov decks I wanted to build. I have played it against regular EDH decks and it can put up a fight and even win games as long as the table isn't full of fast decks ^^ I would like to suggest Gilded Pinions as a possible replacement for Commander's Sphere. It doesn't draw a card or add mana more than once, but it can help you get Minthara out a turn early while supplying your experience counter on the same turn. Then it sits there and provides flying as needed. Zentharim Bandit can do a similar thing. Play him on 2, then swing on 3 and make a treasure. Also, Blood Pet is a neat 'free' spell that can grant or benefit from your experience counters. Also a better option than the Fog Kami when sacced on your turn. Advance Scout has been another fun one for me where the threat of activation makes me hard to block or attack into.
This version doesn't have Pinions, but I think I've had it in earlier versions. I definitely like it; worth testing it again. It's just the card draw + EXP of commanders sphere is what this deck needs. Re: Blood Pet. I love that little dude. Probably worth it because Orzhov doesn't ramp well lol Re: Z. Bandit. I LOVE this card. I play it in quite a few Bx decks. Can't remember if I've tried it here or not, but it's worth another look. Thanks for the comment! Good stuff.
I wasn't actually familiar with the non Arena version of Minthara. Really interesting to see how they changed her. As a commander, it seems far better to have that ward than the permanace of Intensity. Also interesting to see how they just sort of get around the whole intensity thing by just having the player gain the counters instead.
Some weeks back, I put together a Minthara deck using only scryfall for help since I'm pretty ignorant on Orzhov. Our lists differ by about 40 cards due to some choices I made to go against with normal EDH precons, but I'm glad I mostly came to the same strategy conclusions. She's fun to play!
11/10 video 🤩 I think Hive had the right idea in that game against Mayhem Devil. Step 1 is kill the combo player and step 2 is kill the Mayhem Devil player. Drawing interaction helps

You're absolutely welcome! There really are a ton of ways to build her.
Great PDH deck tech Brad, I'll take a hundred more of these!
Thanks, Dew! I have a few more decks in mind that I could do this with. :)
Love the deck tech been looking around for minthara flicker builds and this is the first one I've liked👍👍
That's awesome! Good luck with it!

Oh nice! Yeah, I find this deck super fun to play. It's kinda aggro, midrange, and control all in one sweet package.

Thanks!
And yeah, the right protection spells at the right time are definitely a good thing. lol
I feel like this one has been a long time coming!
It really has been 😅
whats the website the decks are shown from at 01:00
Hi! Those are the results from searching up Minthara as a PDH commander in Moxfield. :)
Tried to find a link to the discord and couldn’t, is it behind a patreon tier or available to join for free? 🤓

@@thepdhpod I did try that and it says the link is expired or invalid! 😅
@@TannerCherry ah geez! Sounds like we've got some actual housekeeping to take care of. Sorry about that! All should be rectified soon!
@@thepdhpod no problem, let me know when it’s all good 😬
@@TannerCherry will do!
