Mystery Booster Commander legality splits across two dates. Commander legality lands November 13 at MagicCon Atlanta. Legacy and Vintage don't get these cards until January 1, 2027, and Wizards has a supply-chain reason for the gap. This breaks down what's legal where, what stays banned no matter what, and why Standard, Pioneer, and Modern players never see this set at all.

Five Foundations Commander decks release October 2 alongside Reality Fracture, each mono-colored, each $30, each built around a simple theme like angels, dragons, or zombies. That price point almost guarantees a reprint-heavy deck list, and the stripped-down design is exactly what gets new players into Commander without overwhelming them. This breaks down all five decks, why the low price is a genuine opportunity, and how it stacks up against everything else Wizards has relea

Wizards surprised everyone at MagicCon Amsterdam with Mystery Booster Commander, a 2026 set built entirely for Commander Draft with 59 new legends and a wild new Rulebreaker mechanic. I'm a Commander player through and through, and my first reaction was pure excitement. My second reaction was remembering that a huge chunk of the Magic player base doesn't touch this format, and this set is one more data point in a trend they're right to be tired of. Here's my honest take.

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is a mono-green legendary creature from MTG Marvel Super Heroes that may be one of the strongest token Commanders ever printed. She creates a Squirrel every time she enters or attacks, and her doubling ability never taps, letting you activate it as many times per turn as you can afford. This guide covers the full strategy across every stage of the game plus five must-include cards, including the genuinely busted Earthcraft infinite combo.

Bruce Banner and the Incredible Hulk is a double-faced card in MTG Marvel Super Heroes. Bruce Banner starts as a 1/1 who draws cards until you pay six mana and flip him into an 8/8 with Reach, Trample, and Enrage. Whenever the Hulk takes damage while attacking he gets a counter and gets another combat phase. He literally gets stronger every time he gets hit. And players already found the combo that makes him go infinite. Here is everything you need to know about this exciting

Mjolnir, Hammer of Thor arrives in MTG Marvel Super Heroes with a brand new Worthy mechanic restricting who can equip. Thor qualifies. Captain America qualifies. Jane Foster qualifies. And so does a horse from Lord of the Rings, a corgi, a haunted doll, a frog who happens to be red, and Deadpool who loses three life every upkeep. Here is exactly how Worthy works, every rule that governs it, and five of the funniest commanders in Magic history who are apparently up to the task

Power-up is the marquee new keyword mechanic in MTG Marvel Super Heroes, releasing June 26, 2026. It's a once-per-game activated ability whose cost is reduced by the creature's mana value if used the same turn the creature entered.

We break down exactly how Power-up works, why it's stronger than Exhaust, and which decks it changes.

MTG Reality Fracture is the climactic conclusion to Magic's Metronome Arc and the what-if set players have been asked for years. Jace Beleren has constructed the Echoverse, an alternate version of the entire multiverse centered on Hexhaven, a twisted allied-color version of Strixhaven.

This guide covers the full strategy and five must-includ

This guide covers the full strategy and five must-include cards with direct TCGPlayer buy links.

Witherbloom the Balancer is an Elder Dragon from Secrets of Strixhaven that gives every instant and sorcery you cast affinity for creatures, meaning your whole deck gets cheaper the more creatures you have in play.

This guide covers the full strategy plus five must-include cards with direct TCGPlayer buy links.

Secrets of Strixhaven gives each of the five colleges its own exclusive mechanic for the first time, and each one plays very differently from the others.
