Wandering Minstrel is an Action card from Dark Ages. It's one of the few villages that doesn't have anything like "Village" in the name. It's also got some filtering ability to make sure your engine keeps drawing Actions.

It seems like a reasonably straightforward village to use. It discards all your non-actions, finding you your other actions to keep your engine running. Sure, it discards Golds and Platinums and other fancy Treasures, but that's probably okay - if it helps you find more villages and smithies, you'll draw them anyway. It's best when you're aiming to draw your whole deck and really don't mind discarding even your top-notch Treasures.
On a / opening, you probably shouldn't buy it right away before your first reshuffle or until you have some good actions you actually want to play with it or other engine components, such as card draw, which you need to play the actions you left on top of your deck, anyway. Otherwise, the chances that it discards your early coppers instead of the estates are a little too high to be worth it. If you draw WM and 2 or 3 or more estates on turn 3 and play the WM, there's only a small chance you draw the other action you might have bought in the opening (which will be a at best), but you'll likely discard 2 or 3 coppers and thereby reduce your next turn's buying power significantly. If you choose not to play it, you pretty much wasted a turn by reducing your buying power during this turn by at least .
So don't buy Wandering Minstrel too early. This should be recommended with most villages, but this one is especially trimmed to set up engines which, as is well-known, takes some time, and it might really hurt your early buying power. And of course it has no business in Big Money decks. For the former purpose, however, it excels vanilla villages (including Border Village, Fortress) by far.
It is particularly important to manage your reshuffles when using Wandering Minstrels. Once you've drawn all your actions and discarded all your treasures, green cards, and curses make sure not to cause a reshuffle mid-turn unless you can draw everything that's left. Otherwise you may be hit with one or more turns with no actions at all as you wade through all the non-actions that your Minstrels threw out.
