Mina and Denn, Wildborn

📖 How to build Mina and Denn, Wildborn

Mina and Denn, Wildborn is a Gruul Elf Ally that rewards a land-heavy game plan. Its static ability lets you play an additional land on each of your turns, so you can get more lands onto the battlefield faster. Its activated ability costs {R}{G} and returning a land you control to its owner's hand, and it gives target creature trample until end of turn.

Build around ramp and effects that put lands onto the battlefield or into your hand. Cultivate, Rampant Growth, Farseek, Nature's Lore, Three Visits, and Kodama's Reach fit the plan, and Birds of Paradise and Llanowar Elves can accelerate it. Blasphemous Act and Beast Within offer interaction, while Heroic Intervention and Chaos Warp can protect your board or reshape the game.

Watch out for the extra land drop, which only matters if you have lands to play, so the deck needs enough lands and ramp to use it. The trample ability costs {R}{G} each time and lasts only until end of turn, so it is a situational tool rather than a lasting upgrade. Because the commander's own text is limited to these two abilities, the deck relies on its support cards for most of its power.
