Wizards is officially working on bringing Commander to MTG Arena — the most-requested format finally getting the digital treatment. That’s the headline, but there’s also a nasty new combo brewing in Standard worth your attention.
Magic: The Gathering
Commander is coming to MTG Arena. After years of players asking, Wizards is working on adding the game’s most popular multiplayer format to the client, which could be a huge deal for anyone who wants to jam EDH without wrangling a playgroup. Draftsim breaks down what we know and when it might arrive, and MTGGoldfish’s crew dug into whether Commander on Arena is actually good for the format — not everyone’s convinced it’s a clean win.
There’s a fresh Standard combo pairing an equipment from The Hobbit with a sleeper creature from Secrets of Strixhaven that can close out games as early as turn three. If you’re tuning your Standard list or just love a spicy brew, the full combo breakdown is here.
Pokémon TCG
The Pokémon Champions Regulation Set M-C is adding 26 new Pokémon to the pool, headlined by Mega Lucario Z. New regulation sets always reshape what’s legal and what’s worth chasing, so it’s worth seeing the full list of additions before you build.
That’s the wire for today — go break that Hobbit combo before it gets patched out of the meta.
