MTG Marvel Commander Decks: All Four Marvel Super Heroes Decklists, Compared

There are four Marvel Commander decks, all released on June 26, 2026 with Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes. They are Avengers Assemble, led by Captain America, Team Leader in red, white and blue; Wakanda Forever, led by T'Challa, the Black Panther in green and white; The Fantastic Four, a four-colour deck with four face commanders, Invisible Woman, Mister Fantastic, Human Torch and The Thing; and Doom Prevails, led by Doctor Doom, King of Latveria in blue, black and red. Each deck is also sold as a Collector's Edition. As of November 8, 2026, our bracket checker reads all four as Bracket 2 (Core), with no Game Changers.

The four decklists are on our precon pages, linked under each deck below.

Avengers Assemble: Captain America, Team Leader

Red, white and blue. Captain America, Team Leader, {R}{W}{U}, is a 3/3 Human Soldier Hero. Whenever another Hero you control enters, that Hero gains vigilance and haste until end of turn, and you put a +1/+1 counter on it and another on Captain America. The vigilance and haste last for the turn; the counters stay. A Hero that enters before combat on your turn can attack right away, and Captain America grows with each one.

The second commander, Director Nick Fury, {U}{R}{W}, is a 2/4 Human Spy Hero. Hero spells you cast cost {1} less, and whenever you attack, you look at the top four cards of your library, may reveal a Hero card from among them and put it into your hand, then put the rest on the bottom in a random order. He has the same colour identity, so he can lead these 100 cards with Captain America in the 99 (Comprehensive Rules 903.3 and 903.5c).

Of the 99 cards beside the commander, 26 are Hero creatures, so the trigger rarely misses. The list runs 29 creatures, 14 artifacts and 38 lands, and has the lowest average mana value of the four, 3.4. Bracket 2 (Core) in our checker. Pick it if you want to attack with a team that gets bigger every turn. The full Avengers Assemble decklist.

Wakanda Forever: T'Challa, the Black Panther

Green and white. T'Challa, the Black Panther, {1}{G}{W}, is a 2/2 Human Noble Hero. Whenever T'Challa enters or attacks, you create a tapped Vibranium token: an artifact with indestructible that taps for {C}, mana that can't be spent to cast a nonartifact spell (Comprehensive Rules 111.10w). Whenever you cast an artifact spell with mana value 4 or greater, you put two +1/+1 counters on T'Challa. The Vibranium pays for the artifacts, and the artifacts grow the commander.

The second commander, Shuri, the Black Panther, {G}{W}, is a 2/3 Human Noble Hero with lifelink. Whenever Shuri attacks, you draw a card if you control three or more artifacts; then, if you control six or more artifacts, creatures you control get +2/+2 until end of turn. Vibranium tokens are artifacts, so they count toward both numbers.

The 99 hold 28 artifact cards (24 artifacts and 4 artifact creatures), and 23 of them have mana value 4 or greater. It is the only two-colour deck of the four, with 24 basic lands among its 38 lands, and it has the highest average mana value, 3.8. Bracket 2 (Core) in our checker: the list holds Helm of the Host, one half of a two-card combo the checker knows, but not the other half, Godo, Bandit Warlord, a red card that a green and white deck can't run (Comprehensive Rules 903.5c). Pick it if you like building a board of artifacts and Equipment. The full Wakanda Forever decklist.

The Fantastic Four: Invisible Woman, Mister Fantastic, Human Torch and The Thing

White, blue, red and green: every colour but black. The box holds four face commanders, and you pick one to lead. Each of them costs a single colour of mana, but each has an ability that costs {R}{G}{W}{U}, and a card's colour identity counts the mana symbols in its rules text as well as those in its mana cost (Comprehensive Rules 903.4). So all four have the same four-colour identity, and any one of them can be the commander with the other three in the 99 (903.3 and 903.5c). None of them has a partner ability, so the deck has one commander, not four (702.124a).

All four share a trigger: at the beginning of combat on your turn, if you've cast a noncreature spell this turn, something happens. Cast that spell in your first main phase.

• Invisible Woman, {2}{W}, a 3/3 Human Hero: you create a 0/3 colourless Wall creature token with defender and reach. Whenever you attack, you may pay {R}{G}{W}{U}; when you do, target creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn for each creature you control and can't be blocked this turn.
• Mister Fantastic, {2}{U}, a 2/4 Human Scientist Hero with reach and vigilance: you draw a card. For {R}{G}{W}{U} and tapping him, you copy target triggered ability you control twice.
• Human Torch, {3}{R}, a 3/2 Human Hero: he gains flying, double strike and haste until end of turn. Whenever he attacks, you may pay {R}{G}{W}{U}; if you do, until end of turn, whenever he deals combat damage to an opponent, he deals that much damage to each other opponent.
• The Thing, {5}{G}, a 5/5 Human Hero with trample: you put four +1/+1 counters on him. Whenever he attacks, you may pay {R}{G}{W}{U}; when you do, you double the number of each kind of counter on any number of target permanents you control.

Our precon page lists Invisible Woman as the commander, as our card data does. The list is built for the shared trigger: 43 of the 99 are noncreature, nonland cards (23 sorceries, 8 artifacts, 6 instants and 6 enchantments), against 19 creatures, the fewest of the four decks. Its average mana value is 3.7. Bracket 2 (Core) in our checker. Pick it if you like casting a spell every turn and choosing who leads. The full Fantastic Four decklist.

Doom Prevails: Doctor Doom, King of Latveria

Blue, black and red. Doctor Doom, King of Latveria, {1}{U}{B}{R}, is a 3/3 Human Noble Villain. At the beginning of combat on your turn, target Villain you control gains menace until end of turn, and it connives: you draw a card, then discard a card, and if you discarded a nonland card, you put a +1/+1 counter on that creature (Comprehensive Rules 701.50a). A creature with menace can't be blocked except by two or more creatures (702.111b). His other ability pays you for the lands: whenever you discard one or more land cards, each opponent loses 2 life. So each connive either grows a Villain or costs every opponent 2 life, and Doctor Doom is a Villain himself, so he can be the target.

The second commander, Loki, the Deceiver, {1}{U}{B}{R}, is a 4/4 God Sorcerer Villain. Whenever Loki attacks, you create a tapped and attacking token that's a copy of another target Villain you control, except it isn't legendary and it's an Illusion in addition to its other types, and you sacrifice that token at the beginning of the next end step. Whenever one or more Villains you control deal combat damage to a player, you draw a card.

Of the 99 cards beside the commander, 28 are Villain creatures. The list runs 31 creatures, the most of the four decks, and 37 lands, with an average mana value of 3.7. Its cards are worth the most of the four as singles in our price data, US$108.06 on November 8, 2026. Bracket 2 (Core) in our checker. Pick it if you like drawing cards and making every opponent pay for it. The full Doom Prevails decklist.

Which Marvel Commander deck should you pick?

All four read as Bracket 2 (Core) in our checker, so they should sit at the same table. What differs is the plan.

• For a first Commander deck: Avengers Assemble. It has the lowest average mana value of the four, 3.4, and one instruction: play Heroes and attack.
• For the fewest colours: Wakanda Forever, the only two-colour deck, with 24 basic lands.
• For the most choices: The Fantastic Four, with four colours, four possible commanders and a list of 43 noncreature spells.
• For card selection: Doom Prevails, where a Villain connives at every combat of yours.

Our 2026 precon ranking compares them with the year's other decks, and Commander decks by bracket shows what a Bracket 2 deck looks like.

How to upgrade a Marvel precon

Copy the list from its precon page into the deck builder, no account needed, and change ten cards rather than forty with the ten-card method. The Validation tab checks exactly 100 cards including the commander, one copy of each card other than basic lands, and colour identity against your commander (Comprehensive Rules 903.5a, 903.5b and 903.5c).

You can also swap leaders. Director Nick Fury, Shuri and Loki each share their deck's colour identity and sit in its 99, so any of them can lead with the face commander in the 99 (903.3, 903.4 and 903.5c). Then paste the list into the bracket checker: one to three Game Changers move a Core deck to at least Bracket 3.

For Doom Prevails, every extra connive improves your hand, and is another chance to discard a land for Doctor Doom. We asked Scry, our card search by effect, for more of them.
