: Add one mana of any color.'"
Whenever Preston Garvey attacks, untap each enchanted permanent you control.

Preston Garvey, Minuteman turns every token you create into a land-fetch trigger, accelerating your mana base while going wide — the engine is immediate and doesn't ask for much setup. The catch is a four-mana 2/2 body that does nothing the turn it enters, which makes it a liability against fast tables; pair it with Aggravated Assault or run it under Dogmeat, Ever Loyal to justify the slot.

Dogmeat, Ever Loyal
Dogmeat, Ever Loyal's Junk token generation feeds Preston Garvey, Minuteman a steady stream of land-fetch triggers, letting the deck ramp while it Scrounges — Preston essentially converts Dogmeat's go-wide plan into an accelerating resource engine at no extra cost.

Commander is where Preston Garvey, Minuteman actually lives — the payoff on a 100-card singleton deck is real, since fetching basics off every token trigger smooths your mana across a long game without spending extra cards. Outside Commander, the card is legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but there's no meaningful competitive context for a four-mana do-nothing-immediately creature in any of those formats. Treat this as a Commander card that happens to have broader legality on paper.
