Marvel Super Heroes has arrived, and the Commander community is already neck-deep figuring out which of its absolutely massive commander pool actually matters. Add a fresh Pokémon TCG art reveal and a new AI Battle Challenge out of Japan, and there’s plenty to chew on today.
Magic: The Gathering
Marvel Super Heroes is here, and the headline for Commander players is the sheer volume — the set has more commanders than even Final Fantasy by a wide margin, with many being uncommon signposts and Limited filler but plenty worth building around. Draftsim breaks down the 34 best Marvel Super Heroes commanders ranked to help you cut through the noise.
The set also introduces a brand-new enchantment subtype called Plans, which is worth understanding before your next deck-build. Draftsim covers the rules, history, and best Plans cards, and if you’re sorting by color, they’ve also ranked the 27 best black cards in Marvel Super Heroes across the Standard, Commander, and Jumpstart products.
