    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!

      You're absolutely welcome! There really are a ton of ways to build her.

    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!

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

    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. :)

    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.

    Our designs have a lot in common although I think you have a much better interaction package. There are some creatures I would like to suggest though, and I’d be interested in your thoughts on them - if you’re interested in doing more flicker than sacrifice, Flaming Fist Officer or Ninth Bridge Patrol are nice supplements to Carrion Feeder, and Mortis Dogs is also a great sacrifice target, particularly if it just attacked (and hopefully connected). Because my subthemes are flicker and first/double strike I also like to run Gulping Scraptrap (and all the other Orzhov proliferate) to try and ramp counters.
    The weirdest thing I run are a bunch of cards with return-to-hand activated effects like Cage of Hands, Conviction, Mourning, Shackle and even a card from my childhood, Foul Familiar. Deep down, I know that they’re both expensive for what they do and slow. But what’s PDH without a little eccentricity?

      Cool suggestions! Minthara is so interesting with all the different directions you can take the deck.

    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

      And yeah, the right protection spells at the right time are definitely a good thing. lol

      Hi! Those are the results from searching up Minthara as a PDH commander in Moxfield. :)

      The link to our discord is in the sidebar of the PauperEDH subreddit. Currently, most of the channels are for patrons only, but we're working on opening some of them up to the general public. :)
