<p>Hey everyone! I am Command Zoe, fresh off a very successful fundraiser for Trans Lifeline and ready to dive into <a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/sos" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em></a>. Specifically I want to talk about the mechanic that has me the most excited: prepare.</p>
<p>Much like exert or monstrous, this mechanic is a state that creatures can become, and once a creature is prepared it can cast its prepared spell. This unprepares it, and it must be prepared again to cast again. The potential of this mechanic is limitless.</p>
<p>We have creatures coming that can cast <a href="https://edhrec.com/top/game-changers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Game Changers</a> multiple times. We even have creatures that can cast <a href="https://edhrec.com/banned" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned cards</a> and <a href="https://mtg.wiki/page/Reserved_List" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reserved List cards</a>.</p>
<p>So let's dive into the top 10 cards with this new effect and see just how wild the design team got with it.</p>
<h2>10. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Vastlands Scavenger" href="#" target="_blank">Vastlands Scavenger</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Vastlands Scavenger"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>This is a bear necessity.</em></p>
<p>There are several things to look for when evaluating these new prepared mechanic. How much does it cost to cast the creature and then the spell? How good is this card without the spell? Is there a way to make it prepared multiple times, or is this a one time deal? And if it can become prepared again how much work is that?</p>
<p>Well, Vastlands Scavenger is a tank. For just three mana you get 4/4 worth of stats <em>that even gets deathtouch</em>. Stompy players are going to salivate at that stat line. That is better than a lot of creatures before its spell is even cast!</p>
<p>The spell itself is also incredibly powerful. It costs five, so it curves into itself very nicely, and then it mills seven cards deep to put <em>any </em>creature it finds directly onto the battlefield. As if that weren't enough, it then puts those other six cards into the <del>second hand</del> graveyard.</p>
<p>This card is just generically strong all around. It does everything that can be asked of a green creature. Its only slight drawback is that it can't become prepared multiple times. But with a stat line and prepared spell like that, does it really need to?</p>
<h2>9. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Skycoach Conductor" href="#" target="_blank">Skycoach Conductor</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Skycoach Conductor"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Driver! Prepare my spell for me. Chop, chop!</em></p>
<p>Again we immediately are greeted with stats and keywords above their cost. Three mana for a 2/3 with <em>three</em> keywords including flying? <em>And</em> you can cast it at instant speed? Am I getting old or is that stat line just way too good for there to be more text on the card? Don't answer that.</p>
<p>The reason this card is on the list is that its prepared spell is essentially a blue <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Cloudshift" href="#" target="_blank">Cloudshift</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. The fact that the creature also has flash let's All Aboard be used as interaction. There is so much utility in this card. It can re-prepare any card that prepares on enter - which is most of them - it can re-trigger any enters effects you have, it can avoid spot-removal, it can save an attacker or a blocker, and more. The possibilities of how to use it are endless.</p>
<p>Note that it cannot target Pilots, which keeps it from targeting itself over and over. This also means all of the recent changelings from <em>Lorwyn Eclipsed </em>also cannot be targeted. Unless...</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Unnatural Selection"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Look - I don't know what I'm gonna do with this yet, but I don't like being told I can't do something...</em></p>
<h2>8. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Scheming Silvertongue" href="#" target="_blank">Scheming Silvertongue</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Scheming Silvertongue"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>They gave the popular girl a card too.</em></p>
<p>I am obsessed with this card. If this was a list of Zoe's favorite cards from the set she would be all 1o. She again is a stat-beast. At 1/3 with flying and lifelink, she very easily slots into most black decks. She dodges <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Shock" href="#" target="_blank">Shock</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>s, regains health, and chump blocks old <em>and</em> new inklings with ease. But once you get any lifegain <em>or power buff</em> going and she can draw two cards every turn with her <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sign in Blood" href="#" target="_blank">Sign in Blood</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> spell.</p>
<p>And she's a vampire!</p>
<p>Just from a design standpoint, can we talk about how she gains you that life then turns it into card draw? She turns blood into power. <em>That is so flavorful and cool. </em>But it's also really good. It is very easy to gain one more life per turn on top of her lifelink in black to make her prepared over and over. The card draw, the drain and gain, the flavor.</p>
<p>No notes. 10/10 card. Not the most powerful on this list, but you won't ever be disappointed to see this in your hand.</p>
<h2>7. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Naktamun Lorespinner" href="#" target="_blank">Naktamun Lorespinner</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Naktamun Lorespinner"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>We are playing Wheel of Fortune and I am taking a W.</em></p>
<p>I am sensing a theme. All of these cards have stats above-rate. A three-mana 3/3 with relevant creature type in red excites the 1v1 player in me. I think this card in mono-red burn will be something special, but this article is about Commander. Is it still good? Yes. Absolutely. Wheel of Fortune is a whole archetype here!</p>
<p>The clause to become prepared with this very good boy is not that difficult to achieve. Just dump your hand! Aggro and Burn decks love this card.</p>
<p>But it's not just <em>your</em> hand it counts. If you're on any kind of discard list, this looks at your opponents' hands too. Sure it gives them more cards, but if they get more cards that's more cards to make them discard!</p>
<p>The bad news is that <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Nekusar, the Mindrazer" href="#" target="_blank">Nekusar, the Mindrazer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> player you loathe just got a new toy. The good news is so long as you keep cards in your hand they can't wheel you over and over. More bad news though, keeping cards in your hand is bad against Nekusar. Wait why are they tapping out for four-</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Sheoldred, the Apocalypse"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Gulp.</em></p>
<h2>6. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Emeritus of Ideation" href="#" target="_blank">Emeritus of Ideation</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Emeritus of Ideation"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Don't do it; there is still time.</em></p>
<p>Does that say-</p>
<p>No. What? That is literally <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ancestral Recall" href="#" target="_blank">Ancestral Recall</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> printed on a card. I thought they weren't allowed to do that! Okay but how good is it really? It's a five mana 5/5 flyer with ward <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-2" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> in mono-blue? Okay what the heck, why does it also have Ancestral Recall.</p>
<p>How are there five cards higher than this?!</p>
<p>Power creep of stats aside, it is quite expensive to take advantage of this card's effect multiple times. Not only do you need to get to six mana, three of which must be blue pips, but to do it again you have to delve eight cards from your graveyard. And sure you get one free one, but ask any blue mage. Once you get a taste of low cost card draw you're going to want more.</p>
<p>Luckily blue is one of the colors that can mill itself, and drawing three cards will help you find those self-mill effects.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Loot, the Pathfinder"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Wow I can't believe they printed Ancestral Recall on a card; that's so </em>crazy<em>!</em></p>
<h2>5. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Emeritus of Woe" href="#" target="_blank">Emeritus of Woe</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Emeritus of Woe"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Is it pronounced "Woah" or "Woah-ee"?</em></p>
<p>If <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ancestral Recall" href="#" target="_blank">Ancestral Recall</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> weren't impressive enough, how about a card that can tutor for entire game winning combos <em>by itself. </em>And she's a 5/4 for four mana! A viable threat that can find you whatever you need to win the turn after it's cast will be a lightning rod for your opponents' removal.</p>
<p>Two creatures dying on your turn to re-prepare isn't too hard to get to. Keep in mind it is <em>any</em> creatures dying, yours included! Aristocrats decks will love this card.</p>
<p>Notably the check for becoming prepared is at end step, so if Tutor gets cast the turn she's played she can immediately re-prepare. I wonder how relevant that will be in the color that likes to sacrifice creatures for mana.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Wriggling Grub"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Phyrexian Altar"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Warren Soultrader"></div></div>
<p><em>Hey check out this neat sequence that conveniently let's you cast your prepared spell on curve while also re-preparing itself!</em></p>
<h2>4. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Grave Researcher" href="#" target="_blank">Grave Researcher</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Grave Researcher"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>He's researching how to kill you and he only gets tenure if he can bring you back.</em></p>
<p><em>What</em>.</p>
<p>Okay so it doesn't enter prepared and it has to survive a full turn cycle to start doing its thing, but that's where the drawbacks end. The body is powerful (stop me if you've heard that one before) and it can re-prepare every turn. Once you get to three creatures in your graveyard you can cast one of the most powerful cards ever printed every single turn. Every. Single. Turn.</p>
<p>And it helps you fill your yard to get there! And it smooths your draws! And <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Reanimate" href="#" target="_blank">Reanimate</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> isn't just <em>your</em> graveyard! And and and...</p>
<h2>3. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Emeritus of Truce" href="#" target="_blank">Emeritus of Truce</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Emeritus of Truce"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Learning to farm, but I ain't got ink.<br />
Doin harm, isn't how I think<br />
</em></p>
<p>Amazing stats, comes with a 1/1 flyer, relevant creature types, and gives you a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Swords to Plowshares" href="#" target="_blank">Swords to Plowshares</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>? All on a three-mana creature. This card is the perfect white creature. Not being able to re-prepare might hurt if it weren't in white, the color of "Exile target creature and return it to the battlefield."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Ephemerate"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lol. Lmao.</em></p>
<h2>2. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Blazing Firesinger" href="#" target="_blank">Blazing Firesinger</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Blazing Firesinger"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Sing it out, sis.</em></p>
<p>Storm didn't need help, but they gave it help anyway. This one might end up being the best card on this list honestly, just because of a certain <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Displacer Kitten" href="#" target="_blank">notorious kitten that goes infinite with it</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p>I could end up being wrong, but I think a two-card combo that makes infinite mana on turn four might be pretty strong. Any <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Flicker" href="#" target="_blank">Flicker</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> effect becomes ramp with her out, and it adds to your storm count! I'm sure that's fine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Displacer Kitten"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>:3</em></p>
<h2>1. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Yavimaya Bloomsage" href="#" target="_blank">Yavimaya Bloomsage</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Yavimaya Bloomsage"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>That's Channel on a </em>Magic <em>card...</em></p>
<p>No good can come of this. What can I say about this card that isn't covered by the card text? At least this one isn't <em>immediately </em>over-statted. It enters as a 2/2 and has to wait until end step for its third power. And at least it's seven power to become prepared. That's hard to do in green, right? So they put guard rails on this one.</p>
<p>Someone is going to get Channel-Exsanguinated at a Prerelease event, and I think that's beautiful.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Stensian Sanguinist"></div></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>If I had an 11th card, it woulda been her...</em></p>

<p>The preview season for <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em> officially ends tomorrow when Wizards of the Coast releases the full Card Image Gallery. In the meantime, however, we still have time to showcase the final two academic houses of Strixhaven University, Silverquill and Witherbloom! We covered the other three houses previously; we showcased <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/secrets-of-strixhaven-preview-recap-prismari-and-lorehold" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prismari and Lorehold</a> this past Friday, while we covered <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/secrets-of-strixhaven-preview-recap-quandrix-mystical-archive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quandrix (with the Mystical Archive)</a> on Tuesday. So, without much further ado, let's dive into these last two colleges!</p>

<h2>Witherbloom Reveals for <em>MTGSOS</em></h2>
<p>The last (but certainly not the least) of Strixhaven University's five colleges, Witherbloom's students are a motley, and occasionally mottled, contingent of fledgling black-green aligned biologists. Previously denoted in an official capacity as "swamp punks," it feels as though Witherbloom has largely shaken that connotation in many ways. Nevertheless, the cards from this college are focused on lifegain and, to a much lesser extent (when compared with Quandrix), spreading +1/+1 counters. Let's take a look!</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Tragedy Feaster"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Cauldron of Essence"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Vastlands Scavenger"></div></div>

<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>All in all, the cards in <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em> look absolutely amazing from mechanical and aesthetic standpoints alike. It'll likely be a ton of fun to play with these cards when they come out!</p>
<p>And now, as always, let us open the floor to you, dear readers. Are you excited for the Silverbloom cards from this set? How about Witherbloom? Additionally, what is your favorite Strixhaven University college? Which one did you choose for Prerelease on the 17th, if you have reserved a slot at your local game store?

<p>The previews for <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em> continue in great numbers this week! As mentioned in the previous recap article we did, Wizards of the Coast is tackling each Strixhaven University academic house one by one every day. This past Friday, we covered the houses of Prismari and Lorehold. Yesterday, Wizards revealed the blue-green Quandrix house, and today, they looked at the Mystical Archive bonus sheet. So, to recap, today we will look at both of those aspects of the set! Let's jump in.</p>

<h2>Quandrix Reveals for <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em></h2>
<p>Quandrix is an academic house full of proud mathematics nerds (or is that <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mathemagics" href="#" target="_blank">Mathemagics</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> nerds? The verdict's largely out!). This group of students is led by<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Quandrix, the Proof" href="#" target="_blank">Quandrix, the Proof</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, to be sure, but they are <em>driven</em> by the laws of physical logic and order. Their cards also look quite powerful in Limited and Constructed, something that seems like it'll be the case across the entire set's enemy-color combinations. Remember, we aren't looking at cards without confirmed English names. Now, let's look at the previews!</p>

<h2><em>SOS</em>'s Mystical Archive Bonus Sheet Reveals</h2>
<p>Since the first <em>Strixhaven</em> set, the bonus sheet known as the Mystical Archive has been a mainstay of the setting. These spells are studied and held in the fabled <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Biblioplex" href="#" target="_blank">Biblioplex</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> of Strixhaven University. And now, we have even more of them available! Well... Not until Prerelease on April 17th, but even so, we can also use the cards printed before these versions. On to the reveal!</p>
<p>But before we do that, note that a ton more of these cards are revealed than are accessible on <a href="https://scryfall.com/sets/soa?order=spoiled&amp;as=grid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scryfall</a> at the moment. To give a little hint about how the sausage is made here at EDHREC, our database links to Scryfall, so if cards aren't there, they won't show up here unless we upload renders one by one. It's a big task and one I do every time WeeklyMTG debuts a preview season. So one more time, in order to spare your favorite <em>Magic</em> journalist, please feel free to consult the list of outlets and content creators (listed above) to see more of these spells!</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Flusterstorm|SOA|18"></div></div>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>With that, this wraps up the previews for the Quandrix house and Mystical Archive. Join us on Thursday when we cover Silverquill and Witherbloom!</p>
<p>And in the meantime, let's open the floor to you, dear readers! Are you excited for <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em>? Are the cards revealed yesterday and today worth building decks around? Alternatively, what's your favorite Strixhaven University house, and which one do you think you'd fit in best among? Sound off in the comments below!</p>

<p><em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em>'s preview season is well underway, and Wizards of the Coast is doing something interesting this time around. Because Strixhaven University contains five different academic houses, Wizards has split each house's previews up to reveal them one house per day. Yesterday, Wizards' content creators and Ambassadors revealed Prismari's artists and performers. Today, the same was done for Lorehold. In this recap, we'll look at all of them! Read on for more!</p>

<h2>Prismari Reveals for <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em></h2>
<p>The Prismari cards in <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em> seem pretty great. These artisans and performers, all encapsulated within (and simultaneously encapsulating) the blue-red color identity, are going to be explosive in Limited formats, including Prerelease. (That starts on April 17th, for those not yet in the know!)</p>
<p>But let's look at those cards now, and be enraptured by the swirling colors and stunning attention to detail!</p>

<h2>Lorehold Reveals for <em>MTGSOS</em></h2>
<p>Lorehold House's white-red color identity lends itself remarkably well to history and preservation. These cards, not unlike Prismari's show-stopping cards, will be fantastic in Limited, but I surmise they'll also find several homes in Constructed.</p>
<p>Before we go on with these previews, I must reiterate from preview seasons past that I will not be sharing cards that don't have a confirmed English name yet. As such, the "Capstone" card from the Lorehold previews will not be in this article. However, having said that, let's look at all the rest of the cards!</p>

Secrets of Strixhaven Preview Recap: Prismari and Lorehold

Secrets of Strixhaven Debut Stream, Recapped

<p style="text-align: right;"><em>Lorehold, the Historian | Art by <a href="https://raymondswanland.com/magic-the-gathering-gallery">Raymond Swanland</a></em></p>
<p>On Tuesday, Wizards of the Coast unveiled the new sealed products for two upcoming sets. These sets are <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em> and <em>Marvel Super Heroes</em>. This particular set of previews was revealed at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany. With that, let's look at some of the revealed information, which includes a few preview cards!</p>
<h2><em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em></h2>
<p>For starters, let's look at <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em>, out on April 24th. Wizards of the Coast revealed the following products at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Some of these may seem obvious, but it's simply good to know that they're continuing:</p>
<ul>
<li>Play Boosters (MSRP: $5.49 per pack)</li>
<li>Collector Boosters (MSRP: $26.99 per pack)</li>
<li>Draft Night (MSRP: $89.99)</li>
<li>Bundle (MSRP: $57.99)</li>
<li>Codex Bundle (MSRP: $89.99)</li>
<li>Commander Decks (MSRP: $49.99 per deck)</li>
</ul>
<p>We expect you have a few questions. For one, what in the world is a Codex Bundle? And, how many Commander decks are featuring in <em>MTGSOS</em>? We can easily answer both of those questions for you!</p>
<p>The Codex Bundle, a similar product to Gift Bundles and the like, contains six Play Boosters, two Collector Boosters, and a Codex Booster. Like the <em>Avatar: The Last Airbender</em> Gift Bundles' innovation, the Codex Booster contains two cards out of a possible six in the following subset of cards:</p>
<p><a href="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sos-codex-bundle-packs.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-174847" src="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sos-codex-bundle-packs.png" alt="Secrets of Strixhaven Codex Bundle promos." width="600" height="559" srcset="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sos-codex-bundle-packs.png 1280w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sos-codex-bundle-packs-300x279.png 300w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sos-codex-bundle-packs-1024x954.png 1024w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sos-codex-bundle-packs-768x715.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>While this group of cards isn't the <em>most</em> exciting subset of promos ever, the Talisman cycle and <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> are still used quite frequently in Commander decks across the board. And speaking of Commander decks...</p>

<h3><em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em> Commander Decks</h3>
<p>There are going to be five Commander decks released alongside <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em>. These decks are respectively themed after the five Houses of Strixhaven, a prestigious school of magic housed on the plane of Arcavios. More details are below:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><em>Lorehold Spirit</em>
<ul>
<li>Red/White</li>
<li>Commander: Quintorius</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><em>Prismari Artistry</em>
<ul>
<li>Blue/Red</li>
<li>Commander: Rootha</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><em>Quandrix Unlimited</em>
<ul>
<li>Green/Blue</li>
<li>Commander: Zimone</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><em>Silverquill Influence</em>
<ul>
<li>White/Black</li>
<li>Commander: Killian</li>

</li>
<li><em>Witherbloom Pestilence</em>
<ul>
<li>Black/Green</li>
<li>Commander: Dina</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>There is no confirmation that <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Quintorius Kand" href="#" target="_blank">Quintorius Kand</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> will be a planeswalker commander in the <em>Lorehold Spirit</em> deck, but we'll surely find out soon!</p>
<h3><em>MTGSOS Previews</em></h3>
<p>There were a couple of cards previewed within <em>Secrets</em>. These previews also include one from the new iteration of the <em>Mystical Archive</em>. Let's take a look!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Naturally, we'd like to know if the Japanese Foil Etched cards in this set's <em>Mystical Archive</em> are a bit more standout than the ones from <em>Strixhaven</em> proper. Again, we'll know when we see more from the set!</p>
<h2><em>Marvel Super Heroes</em></h2>
<p>This brings us to the next set in the queue. <em>Marvel Super Heroes</em> comes out on June 26th. It contains the following products (shown here with MSRP included):</p>
<ul>
<li>Play Boosters (MSRP: $6.99 per pack)</li>
<li>Collector Boosters (MSRP: $37.99 per pack)</li>
<li>Bundle (MSRP: $69.99)</li>
<li>Gift Bundle (MSRP: $89.99)</li>
<li>Draft Night (MSRP: $119.99)</li>
<li>Scene Boxes (MSRP: $41.99)</li>
<li>Commander Decks (MSRP: $69.99 per deck)</li>
<li>Collector Commander Decks (MSRP: $149.99 per deck)</li>
<li>Jumpstart Boosters (MSRP: $6.99 per pack)</li>
<li>Beginner Box (MSRP: $34.99)</li>
</ul>
<p>Considerably more expensive than the cards from <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em>, <em>Marvel Super Heroes</em> continues some of the trends that other <em>Universes Beyond</em> products started, presumably based on licensing fees. But let's look at some of these products!</p>
<p><a href="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MTGMSH-commander-decks.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-174858" src="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MTGMSH-commander-decks.jpg" alt="Marvel Super Heroes Commander precons." width="994" height="559" srcset="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MTGMSH-commander-decks.jpg 1920w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MTGMSH-commander-decks-300x169.jpg 300w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MTGMSH-commander-decks-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MTGMSH-commander-decks-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MTGMSH-commander-decks-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 994px) 100vw, 994px" /></a></p>
<p>There are four Commander precons for <em>Marvel Super Heroes</em>, each priced at a solid $69.99 apiece. The decks are as such:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><em>Avengers Assemble</em>
<ul>
<li>Red/White/Blue</li>
<li>Characters pictured: Captain America, Nick Fury</li>
</ul>
</li>

<p>There are also Collector Commander decks for this set. They're the same cards as in the base decks, only included with a Surge Foil treatment. These collector-targeted decks have an MSRP of $149.99 each.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>I am super-excited for <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em>! <em>Marvel Super Heroes</em>' Commander decks look pretty neat as well. But let's ipen the floor to you now, dear readers! Are you excited for any of these new sets? What about them might drive you to picking the cards up? Sound off in the comments below!</p>
