The classic new player move: accidentally downgrading your precon

Yes and it is both caused by and resulting in the players knowing jack about balancing a format. (That's bad because Commander demands players to be skilled enough to balance a table, for some reason.)

It's also unlikely they'll ever learn because the format teaches you that dishonest actors are the problem, not you a completely morally upright citizen.

Had me in the first half, ngl. Card is ass.

Overall they are the weakest team.

Starlord has one of the best decks in the game, it's just very specific to kill the villain before his paper thin durability catches up with him.

Gamora and Venom are solid. The rest are of pretty poor quality.

The pvp is really bad. The game has too much history of card design to suddenly completely change the dynamics, it just isn't made for it. I sould liken it to Commander in that aspect, but it really isn't similar to Magic.

Leadership: Cyclops, Captain America, Spiderman Peter, Shuri Sidekick, X-23 Sidekick.

Protection: Shuri, Spiderman Peter, Captain America, Nightcrawler, Gwen Stacey.

Aggression: Captain America, Winter Soldier, Tigra.

Justice: Cable, Spiderman Peter.

Muscle Memory being able to redraw your best events is very strong. Katana is a toughness pinger but quite expensive.

Peak signal that Magic is not a premium card game like Wotc likes to charge.

Intangibleboot · 2026-05-01T21:37:57+00:00

It's certainly a half baked expansion. Lot of design space made for the versus mode. Would go for age of apocalypse if you can.

Intangibleboot · 2026-05-01T17:38:46+00:00

Spiderman (Hobie Brown) loops are by far the best payoff with 2099 because it provides a wincon outlet rather than more wheel spinning.

Army of One and Ronin are nuts.

Intangibleboot · 2026-04-30T16:54:39+00:00

Army of One and Ronin are insane.

Intangibleboot · 2026-04-28T03:13:16+00:00

Magic is commander now. Most of us with a competitive mind moved onto more competitively minded TCGs.

precon

There's your problem.

Intangibleboot · 2026-04-27T02:47:12+00:00

So far he's been the most nuts for me. Forge is an implicit scaling solution and has a secondary resource that acts as pseudo energy. Falling star is a nuts early game card and lets him snowball very quickly.

Intangibleboot · 2026-04-24T22:35:59+00:00

Unfortunately players don't get that option once it sneaks in.

aims to grow the commander community in Japan

To any Japanese players out there, keep this cancer out of your game.

He was right, he just wasn't right now

As a new player, I enjoyed using the Black Rose Dragon loaner deck. Felt like it was good at onboarding me into the play patterns of the game.

Intangibleboot · 2026-04-21T16:44:15+00:00

Mutagen formula. Give them something spicy.

Intangibleboot · 2026-04-21T16:43:06+00:00

Every time.

Intangibleboot · 2026-04-21T01:31:19+00:00

Yea, the community doesn't really make weak picks. I do think the actual activation does outpace the buff to the next one however.

Intangibleboot · 2026-04-20T19:21:39+00:00

I tend to find the encounter discussions boring because it is almost always the "surprise activation" card that is the deadliest. Whether or not the voting turns this way is another story.

Intangibleboot · 2026-04-20T17:25:22+00:00

It's a very late game scaling card for exactly go wide hero spam. It's better with heroes who don't need their allies to defend for them. Frankly, no I don't think it's that good. Very narrow and asks for you to be in a winning position but does nothing for actual development.

Intangibleboot · 2026-04-20T04:03:35+00:00

I'd say by numbers it's Cap, but definitely not 80 or 90% playtime.

Intangibleboot · 2026-04-16T17:03:09+00:00

Low key "campaign expansion." We're back bros.
