<p>If you're a fan of the Marvel Comics, this set is just for you. There are so many memorable comic book characters that haven't yet made it into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but there are a ton of cards and characters in <em>Marvel Super Heroes</em> set that we're all excited to see. Here 's what EDHREC writers are putting in their decks.</p>
<h2><a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/author/joshua-nelson">Josh Nelson</a></h2>
<p>Josh is adding <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Thor, God of Thunder" href="#" target="_blank">Thor, God of Thunder</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> to their <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Auntie Blyte, Bad Influence" href="#" target="_blank">Auntie Blyte, Bad Influence</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> deck. They said, "The deck thrives on noncreature spells to make Auntie Blyte more and more huge, and Thor likes those a lot. But on top of that, Auntie Blyte also really enjoys Equipment that gives her lifelink, so to have Thor act as recursion for those cards seriously ticks many important boxes for me." Targeting yourself with Thor's ability is actually really neat tech here.</p>
<p>It's not the only card from the set that Josh is adding to their Auntie Blyte deck: "<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Panther Habit" href="#" target="_blank">Panther Habit</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, from the Commander precons. Another Equipment card that can protect Auntie Blyte from being the victim of her own mass-damaging spells? Sign me up!" This card is such an interesting little deterrent against blocks against Auntie Blyte because it makes her pop for more. It also puts opponents between a rock and a hard place. It's a pseudo <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Vigor" href="#" target="_blank">Vigor</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> for decks without green.</p>
<p>The last card they want to add to their decks is <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Ten Rings" href="#" target="_blank">The Ten Rings</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. "I would like to put it into <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Daretti, Scrap Savant" href="#" target="_blank">Daretti, Scrap Savant</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (provided I find the prerequisite cut in the deck first). The reason is a bit of a meme overall but I am already running <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The One Ring" href="#" target="_blank">The One Ring</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and to have eleven rings plus <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sol Ring" href="#" target="_blank">Sol Ring</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> would be my idea of living the dream." I love a deck with a little flavor and an inside joke.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Thor, God of Thunder"></div></div>
<h2><a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/author/owain-roberts"><span data-sheets-root="1">Owain Roberts</span></a></h2>
<p>Owain is starting off with the kind of sass I like, "I'm eyeing up <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mjölnir, Hammer of Thor" href="#" target="_blank">Mjölnir, Hammer of Thor</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> for <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lara Croft, Tomb Raider" href="#" target="_blank">Lara Croft, Tomb Raider</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. The deck sorely needs some more interaction, and this provides it. And yes, a Tomb Raider is definitely worthy of the Hammer." Being able to exile Mjölnir with Lara Croft is pretty neat. Giving her double strike is nice as well because as Owain mentions, she is worthy.</p>
<p>"For my last deck, featuring <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Nathan Drake, Treasure Hunter" href="#" target="_blank">Nathan Drake, Treasure Hunter</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, I'm definitely looking to add <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Nico Minoru, Runaway" href="#" target="_blank">Nico Minoru, Runaway</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, but I'm torn between <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Black Widow, Super Spy" href="#" target="_blank">Black Widow, Super Spy</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Klaw, Master of Sound" href="#" target="_blank">Klaw, Master of Sound</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. I might add both, but I only have room for one for now. I've been trying to shift the deck as more of a "theft from exile" kind of deal, and this is part of that shakeup. I'm also flipping and flopping on <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Extract Power" href="#" target="_blank">Extract Power</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, so nothing solid yet."</p>
<p>I think Nico is really interesting because it'll ping for each spell from exile, but I might suggest <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Unstable Amulet" href="#" target="_blank">Unstable Amulet</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> for a cheaper option. I think Klaw guarantees its effect a little more readily than Black Widow, but both would be really interesting.</p>

<h2><a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/author/kara-blinebry"><span data-sheets-root="1">Kara Blinebry</span></a></h2>
<p>Kara started with, "<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Extract Power" href="#" target="_blank">Extract Power</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is going into my <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Cormela, Glamour Thief" href="#" target="_blank">Cormela, Glamour Thief</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> deck. It basically functions as another <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Dream Harvest" href="#" target="_blank">Dream Harvest</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>-y theft effect but it can actually make use of instant-speed interactive cards I might rip off of a player's deck." This is such a cool addition to this deck because of how much Cormela discounts instant and sorcery spells. Get a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Training Grounds" href="#" target="_blank">Training Grounds</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> in there and you're off to the races.</p>
<p>"<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Dismissive Denial" href="#" target="_blank">Dismissive Denial</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> will be going into both <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Yorion, Sky Nomad" href="#" target="_blank">Yorion, Sky Nomad</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Cormela, Glamour Thief" href="#" target="_blank">Cormela, Glamour Thief</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. This counterspell can just replace a land in a lot of cases, making the opportunity cost near zero. It gets my average mana value up for Cormela's <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Parker Luck" href="#" target="_blank">Parker Luck</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> effects, and the flavor text is hilarious. Automatically going into most blue decks of mine that aren't trying to get the game over with in a hurry."</p>
<p>"<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Stark&#039;s Ingenuity" href="#" target="_blank">Stark&#039;s Ingenuity</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is going into my <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Temmet, Naktamun&#039;s Will" href="#" target="_blank">Temmet, Naktamun&#039;s Will</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> Voltron deck. This Aura is sneakily a modal spell, where the primary effect that boosts Temmet's power and dramatically reduces the required effort to kill a player and the secondary effect is just a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Braingeyser" href="#" target="_blank">Braingeyser</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. That makes it great both in the early to mid game where I don't need help drawing cards and awesome to top deck in the late game where I need a little more juice to close things out." I agree a hundred percent with this. This addition is so sick for a deck that cares about drawing.</p>

<h2><a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/author/mike-carrozza"><span data-sheets-root="1">Mike Carrozza</span></a></h2>
<p>Mike said, "<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Molecule Man" href="#" target="_blank">Molecule Man</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> in literally any deck that lets me loot or draw on my opponents' turns." I want to agree here, just because of how powerful the ability is, but six mana seems a little steep to slam it into any deck. And if you see a land as the card you draw, nothing happens. It's pretty rough, but in an Eldrazi deck, it could do something.</p>
<p>"<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Puppet Master, String Puller" href="#" target="_blank">Puppet Master, String Puller</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>’s going right into my Jeskai legendary goad deck for sure, let’s make some Treasures." This card might be <em>the</em> goad card so whatever the commander here is, I would recommend it.</p>
<p>"<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kang Prime" href="#" target="_blank">Kang Prime</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> slots perfectly in my <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Ninth Doctor" href="#" target="_blank">The Ninth Doctor</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>/<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Clara Oswald" href="#" target="_blank">Clara Oswald</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> Grixis upkeeps deck. I’ll be cheating plenty of stuff into play." Oh wow, yeah cheating upkeeps will make this very playable!</p>
<p>"<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Nico Minoru, Runaway" href="#" target="_blank">Nico Minoru, Runaway</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is just a slam dunk for from exile decks like my beloved fallen <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Prosper, Tome-Bound" href="#" target="_blank">Prosper, Tome-Bound</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> but also my new pal <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sanar, Innovative First-Year" href="#" target="_blank">Sanar, Innovative First-Year</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>." Combo decks will love Nico, so it's no surprise to see Sanar in this lineup. Prosper was my thinking too, when I saw that card.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Puppet Master, String Puller"></div></div>
<h2><a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/author/brian-cain"><span data-sheets-root="1">Brian Cain</span></a></h2>
<p>Brian noted, "<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Molecule Man" href="#" target="_blank">Molecule Man</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is nuts in my <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Belbe, Corrupted Observer" href="#" target="_blank">Belbe, Corrupted Observer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> Eldrazi deck, since he can come down as early as turn two and let me miracle Eldrazi on subsequent turns." Belbe Eldrazi would love a way to get Eldrazi even easier, so I agree wholeheartedly. "<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Ten Rings" href="#" target="_blank">The Ten Rings</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> also works great in that deck, I can use my resources to get it out early and get immediately refilled for more fun." Card draw is something we all need so no arguments from me, especially when Belbe can discount them.</p>
<p>"<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mole Man, Moloid Master" href="#" target="_blank">Mole Man, Moloid Master</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is worth looking at for <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Gitrog Monster" href="#" target="_blank">The Gitrog Monster</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, the tokens milling lands to draw more cards makes them more attractive than something like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rampaging Baloths" href="#" target="_blank">Rampaging Baloths</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>." This card is the insane power creep of landfall decks striking again. It would be perfect for Gitrog.</p>
<p>"<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="HYDRA Assault Robot" href="#" target="_blank">HYDRA Assault Robot</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is another <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Reckless Fireweaver" href="#" target="_blank">Reckless Fireweaver</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> effect for my <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rose, Cutthroat Raider" href="#" target="_blank">Rose, Cutthroat Raider</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> artifact aggro deck. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Iron Man, Tony Stark" href="#" target="_blank">Iron Man, Tony Stark</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> also gets the nod in that deck for obvious reasons." I agree; in any deck that's running "artifact enters"-effects, it would be worth adding. I like Fireweaver a little better because it hits everyone though.</p>

<p>Nicholas started with, "<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="H.E.R.B.I.E. Scout Unit" href="#" target="_blank">H.E.R.B.I.E. Scout Unit</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>; <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ultron, Artificial Malevolence" href="#" target="_blank">Ultron, Artificial Malevolence</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>; <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Castle Doom" href="#" target="_blank">Castle Doom</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>; and probably <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Jocasta, Automaton Avenger" href="#" target="_blank">Jocasta, Automaton Avenger</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> to my colorless <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Iron Spider, Stark Upgrade" href="#" target="_blank">Iron Spider, Stark Upgrade</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> deck." The ramp and card draw in H.E.R.B.I.E. might replace Sad Bot in the future. It's not as good in some ways, but it has fewer hoops and gives value a little more immediately. And it flies so putting counters on it with Iron Spider is relevant. Jocasta is just such a resilient attacker even from the grave. It's great in this deck.</p>
<p>"<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Political Triumph" href="#" target="_blank">Political Triumph</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>; <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Patriot, Shield Wielder" href="#" target="_blank">Patriot, Shield Wielder</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>; and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Night Nurse, Healer of Heroes" href="#" target="_blank">Night Nurse, Healer of Heroes</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> are all up for consideration for <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Arabella, Abandoned Doll" href="#" target="_blank">Arabella, Abandoned Doll</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>." Night Nurse and Patriot are good ways to get around the drawback of attacking with little old Arabella. If you can recur her after her trigger that same turn or make her hexproof in response to a removal spell, or even threaten it, you're doing well.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Night Nurse, Healer of Heroes"></div></div>
<h2><a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/author/gordons-kitchen"><span data-sheets-root="1">Ethan Coover</span></a></h2>

I think the reason for that is pretty obvious." Does this just go infinite? Get back to me Ethan.</p>
<p>"<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings" href="#" target="_blank">Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> will fit well in my <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Oloro, Ageless Ascetic" href="#" target="_blank">Oloro, Ageless Ascetic</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> deck as well. The deck draws quite a few cards so triggering the last ability is doable in most circumstances." Anything that will gain more life will absolutely be good for an Oloro deck.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings"></div></div>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>This set has a lot of heat. I wish it leaned less into mono-color dynamics for some of the legends, but we can't have it all. I wish <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Nico Minoru, Runaway" href="#" target="_blank">Nico Minoru, Runaway</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> was a Rakdos commander and so was <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Puppet Master, String Puller" href="#" target="_blank">Puppet Master, String Puller</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.

Marvel Super Heroes Cards EDHREC Writers Are Putting In Their Decks

<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mjölnir, Hammer of Thor" href="#" target="_blank">Mjölnir, Hammer of Thor</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> | Art by <a href="https://scryfall.com/search?q=a%3A%E2%80%9CWayne+Reynolds%E2%80%9D&amp;unique=art" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wayne Reynolds</a></em></p>
<p>The legendary sledge known as Mjölnir is a mighty hammer. It allows its wielder to harness thunder and lightning, fly by holding its strap, and absorb energy attacks. It's also a highly selective weapon, only wielded by those deemed most worthy.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Mjölnir, Hammer of Thor"></div></div>
<p>Of course, even though Marvel has the lion's share of "worthy" characters capable of lifting Mjölnir, so too does <em>Magic: The Gathering</em>. This article will detail the five creatures most worthy of arming themselves with the legendary hammer of Thor himself.</p>
<h2>What Does "Worthy" Really Mean?</h2>
<p>The term that pervades all talk of Thor's hammer is "worthy". The <a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/worthy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Merriam-Webster Dictionary</a> defines this word as such:</p>
<blockquote><p>Worthy (adjective) wor-thy</p>
<p>1a: having worth or value : estimable</p>
<p><em>a worthy cause</em></p>
<p>1b: honorable, meritorious</p>
<p><em>worthy candidates</em></p>
<p>2: having sufficient worth or importance</p>
<p><em>worthy to be remembered</em></p></blockquote>
<p>This is a <em>very</em> broad term, but in the context of Marvel's canon, "Worthy" takes on a very specific meaning. In essence, an individual is deemed worthy of wielding Mjölnir if they exhibit the following traits truly and wholly:</p>
<ul>
<li>The wielder must display courage in the face of adversity.</li>
<li>The wielder must be resolute in their convictions and display no self-doubt.</li>
<li>Despite being a warrior, they must display compassion and empathy.</li>
<li>Finally, they must prioritize the greater good of society over the individual.</li>
</ul>
<p>We see a few examples of this in Marvel's canon, such as <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Thor Odinson" href="#" target="_blank">Thor Odinson</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, naturally, and Steve Rogers, also known as <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Captain America, Steve Rogers" href="#" target="_blank">Captain</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<h3>Mjölnir Beyond <em>Magic</em></h3>
<p>In this article, I would like to set a ground rule that we will not be looking at "worthy" figures from <em>Universes Beyond</em>. The <em>Universes Beyond</em> suite of legendary creatures sets the subset of mechanically eligible legends too broad for anyone to sanely examine in its entirety.</p>
<p>That said, here is a short list of eligible (non-Marvel) <em>Universes Beyond</em> legendary creatures one might deem "worthy" (noting that I can't profess to know all of these canons perfectly):</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards side-by-side"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Avatar Aang"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Cloud, Planet&#039;s Champion"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Gandalf the White"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Kassandra, Eagle Bearer"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Lightning, Army of One"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Longshot, Rebel Bowman"></div></div>
<p>At this stage, there are still an absolute metric ton of eligible legends. What's more, a ton of them are really valid to wield Mjölnir from a mechanical standpoint. Even removing <em>Universes Beyond</em> <em>and</em> the less-relevant legends won't narrow things down to the five most worthy legendary creatures. What's a poor author to do?</p>
<h3>The Morals of Mjölnir</h3>
<p>At this stage, we're going to have to narrow things down the same way the Marvel writers did when originally penning the character of Thor: by determining characters' subjective morality. I will stress that this is a weird line, and some of <em>Magic</em>'s most morally corrupt characters exist in red, white, and multicolor in all manner of measures. For instance, <span class="edhrecp__link side-by-side"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Nicol Bolas, the Ravager" href="#" target="_blank">Nicol Bolas, the Ravager</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is one-hundred percent not worthy of wielding Thor's hammer.</p>
<p>For the sake of reasonable completion, however, the following legendary creatures within the red and white color identity are also unworthy of Mjölnir:</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards side-by-side"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Archangel Avacyn"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Arabella, Abandoned Doll"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Auntie Blyte, Bad Influence"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dragonhawk, Fate&#039;s Tempest"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Gisela, Blade of Goldnight"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Godo, Bandit Warlord"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Heartless Hidetsugu"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Konda, Lord of Eiganjo"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Purphoros, God of the Forge"></div></div>
<p>I know this was a super-lengthy explanation to specifically exclude a ton of legends from this listicle. I also excluded non-red, non-white creatures from the final list. To look over all of them would lead me to madness, to be certain. However, this was all necessary before we get into the nitty-gritty of examining those who <em>are</em> worthy. So, without any further ado, let's do exactly that! Our first worthy legend is...</p>
<h2><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Aurelia, the Warleader" href="#" target="_blank">Aurelia, the Warleader</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Aurelia, the Warleader"></div></div>
<p>The Ravnican guildmaster Aurelia is an exemplar of the conviction and confidence needed to be a Boros Legion guildmember. She is resolute in her values, and those values are exactly what Mjölnir values in a wielder. In essence, her zeal and devotion towards the guild are exactly what would make her worthy of arming herself with the fabled Asgardian hammer.</p>
<p>Mechanically, Aurelia's ability to create additional combat steps makes her a prime candidate to equip with Mjölnir. Doubling damage all over the place is a great effect to put on something that can continue to double things all around. (See <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Heartless Hidetsugu" href="#" target="_blank">Heartless Hidetsugu</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, who, despite not being morally worthy, is <em>very</em> mechanically worthy.) This list will only include Aurelia in terms of double phases, but doubling damage in other ways is still applicable. Take, for instance...</p>
<h2><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kellan, the Fae-Blooded" href="#" target="_blank">Kellan, the Fae-Blooded</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Kellan, the Fae-Blooded"></div></div>
<p>Kellan is a character who is relatively mutable in his convictions over the course of his character development. He's done a helluva lot of different things and taken many different roles in his life. As an illegitimate child of Oko, one might assume that he is unworthy of wielding Mjölnir. However, I want to stress that Kellan is just as noble and resolute as the hammer mandates in its wielders throughout his plotline.</p>
<p>Mechanically speaking, Kellan's card comes with an Adventure that can search up Mjölnir from the deck for use later on. Furthermore, Kellan boosts the board's power simply by attaching the hammer to him. That seems like a pretty good way to convey selflessness, if you ask me!</p>
<p>Now, when we talk about character arcs shifting and shaping characters in a way that deems them worthy of Thor's mighty hammer, there are a lot. In fact, there's one truly mighty character who, while not immediately worthy, becomes worthy later in his life.</p>
<h2><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kamahl, Pit Fighter" href="#" target="_blank">Kamahl, Pit Fighter</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Kamahl, Pit Fighter"></div></div>
<p>If there's one storyline that I know well, it's the twin blocks of <em>Odyssey</em> and <em>Onslaught</em>. The Mirari Cycle is a huge favorite of mine, mostly due to the character of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Chainer, Dementia Master" href="#" target="_blank">Chainer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (who is <em>definitely</em> not worthy). But also of note is his best friend and the protagonist of five of these six stories, the Pardic barbarian Kamahl. Kamahl succumbs to the wiles of the <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mirari" href="#" target="_blank">Mirari</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and that's decidedly not a worthy thing to do. However, he grows past this and abandons his violent ways for a time as a druid of the Krosan Forest. Eventually his destiny leads him to destroying a (practical) goddess, the being called Karona, to restore Dominaria's magic. If that isn't remarkably selfless and with the greater good in mind, I don't know what is.</p>
<p>Mechanically, however, we have to look at his older iteration. This card existed while he was, in essence, a soldier of fortune, looking for glory and riches through gladiatorial combat in the Otarian pits. But let's shelve that discussion and look at his card from <em>Odyssey</em>. Kamahl is a 6/1 with haste who can tap to deal 3 damage to any target. With Mjölnir in hand, Kamahl can make that 3 damage into 6. Add to that the fact that he's a 6-power creature, and you're able to deal a <em>lot</em> of damage at virtually any time.</p>
<p>Moving on, we have the most worthy humanoid on this list:</p>
<h2><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer" href="#" target="_blank">Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer"></div></div>
<p>The Mirran Goldwarden Jor Kadeen was one of the characters from the Mirrodin-New Phyrexian war who survived through the full corruption of the metallic plane. This character never gave up on Mirrodin even while his kinsmen succumbed to the <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Glistening Oil" href="#" target="_blank">Glistening Oil</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Truly, Jor Kadeen is a true force in the context of that iconic conflict.</p>
<p>When we talk about mechanical prowess, Jor Kadeen is great because he's already a fantastically strong creature in his own right. He doesn't <em>need</em> Mjölnir to make things hard for his opponents. While he does need three artifacts out, Mjölnir just helps - it isn't necessary. Nevertheless, dealing 16 damage per attack is a great justification for Jor Kadeen to wield the hammer.</p>
<p>Finally, we have probably the most worthy creature I can think of.</p>
<h2><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd" href="#" target="_blank">Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd"></div></div>
<p>Mjölnir doesn't particularly care what creature wields it, as long as it is worthy of doing so. That's likely why Throg (of the <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Pet Avengers" href="#" target="_blank">Pet Avengers</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>) is at all allowed to exist in the <em>Marvel</em> canon. So, what's to say that <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd" href="#" target="_blank">Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is an unworthy creature? In terms of <em>Magic</em>'s canon, this information is largely irrelevant. Dogs are <em>clearly</em> inherently kind souls, and often fiercely loyal to others. I will thereby stand by my statement that Phelia is the single most worthy creature to wield Mjölnir, from a moral standpoint.</p>
<p>Mechanically, Phelia is very able to blink the Equipment on a pretty consistent basis, dealing a hefty 4 damage to something in the process. Fetch! <em>Good girl</em>. That's something that really works in thematic ways, but also proves highly effective in the context of the game itself. And morality aside, that really works as another reason that Phelia is worthy.</p>
<h2>Honorable Mention</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Ragost, Deft Gastronaut"></div></div>
<p>I don't know <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ragost, Deft Gastronaut" href="#" target="_blank">Ragost, Deft Gastronaut</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>'s moral leanings, so I have to give the Lobster Chef an Honorable Mention here, sadly. I know a lot of you may be shocked that he's not on the list proper, but them's the breaks! Mechanically, however, much has been said in a bunch of places about how good Ragost is with holding Mjölnir, especially when sacrificing Food for fun and profit. I defer to the experts here, but he's not necessarily worthy by the canonical definitions of the terminology. Regardless, Ragost has the gameplay aspect of things going for him!</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Regardless of what your values lead you to believe, I think I can speak for all of us when I say these creatures are all worthy in some way or another of lifting Mjölnir. It's definitely a fun thought exercise to consider what's available, at least.</p>
<p>So now, I'd like to open the floor to you, dear readers! What red, white, or red-white creatures in <em>Magic</em>'s canon did I neglect to mention? I know I neglected plenty of creatures, including those that include blue, black, and/or green in their color identities. Like I said before, that way lies madness. But within the context of red or white, are there any characters I may have glossed over? Sound off in the comments below!</p>
