Character Background
Mysterious Stranger reads like a red rogue who lives to steal other people’s tricks, and in play it best supports a tempo/control shell with heavy value and occasional combo upside: flash lets you ambush opponents or answer threats while the ETB can net you a free high-impact spell. It’s especially powerful in multiplayer/Commander because more graveyards raise the odds of exiling multiple instants or sorceries and therefore copying something worth casting, but the random choice adds variance—so build to maximize consistent targets. Deckbuilding tip: include cheap self-seeding spells and discard/mill cantrips (to ensure you have worthwhile instants and sorceries to target from your own yard) and prioritize high-impact instants to be present in opponents’ graveyards (big burn, mass removal, or combo pieces). Also consider pairing with graveyard tutors and recursion engines so you can select which cards end up vulnerable to exile and increase the Stranger’s expected value.
