📖 How to build Bugenhagen, Wise Elder

Bugenhagen, Wise Elder is a two-mana green creature with reach that also taps for one mana of any color. Its main value is card draw: at the beginning of your upkeep, if you control a creature with power 7 or greater, you draw a card. The plan is to ramp into big threats and then draw extra cards each turn.

Build with plenty of ramp to reach your large creatures early. Cultivate, Farseek, Rampant Growth, Nature's Lore, Kodama's Reach, and Three Visits help put lands onto the battlefield, while Birds of Paradise, Llanowar Elves, and Elvish Mystic add early mana. Heroic Intervention can help protect your key creature, and Beast Within can help answer threats. Prioritize green creatures with power 7 or greater so the draw trigger turns on.

The main weakness is that card draw stops unless you
