Rachel Weeks piloted the Notary Hobbits deck, which exploited massive mana generation to fuel big plays, including a finisher that leveraged the game’s graveyard interactions. The One Ring grants protection from all damage, and Malone ultimately won the match, underscoring his genuine passion for MTG beyond collecting.

Tolabow, Loch Rascal Gets Clarified Oracle Text for Commander Play

Tolabow, Loch Rascal's rules text has been clarified in the Oracle database for commander play: you choose one non-blue color, and your deck may include instant and sorcery cards that are blue and/or that color in their color identity, but no other colors; basic lands are allowed. This is a functional change from the printed text, and the update is documented in Mystery Booster Commander Edition release notes and Gatherer rulings.

Cat-Themed Secret Lair Drops Hint at Infinite Combos and High-Value Reprints

MTG Rocks previews Wizards of the Coast’s Cat-themed Secret Lair Superdrop, Cats Are The Best, highlighting reprint-heavy cards with strong Commander appeal and potential infinite-combat combos. Key spoilers include Aggravated Assault, a costly enchantment capable of infinite combat steps when paired with mana engines like Old Gnawbone, and Dark Ritual, a quintessential Ritual spell with Legacy/Vintage and Commander use. Sovereign Okinec Ahau and Sheltered by Ghosts are also showcased for cat-themed synergies.

Wizards released three early Secrets of Strixhaven spoilers: Together as One looks like the best of the bunch but may only see play in Limited or Commander rather than Standard; Heated Argument and Banishing Betrayal are draft fodder with limited competitive value; more spoilers arrive with tomorrow’s debut livestream, including Emeritus of Ideation, as the set looms large.

Old Ice Age relic that can exile key cards in any Commander game

An Ice Age artifact called Jester’s Cap can exile cards from an opponent’s library; with recursion or reanimation (e.g., via Toph, the First Metalbender or other artifact-reanimators) it can repeatedly remove threats, potentially crippling a Commander deck. The piece compares it to other exile options (Extract, Sadistic Sacrament, Grinning Totem) and notes that in Commander the payoff is often limited by redundancy in decks. Despite its age and a low price (~$0.39), it’s rarely played (EDHREC shows under 5,000 decks), making it a surprising but risky tactic.

Miren Mystery: Secret Lair Bonus Card Emerges in Chaos Vault

Secret Lair x Brain Dead: New Earth Mentality Chaos Vault dropped, featuring 10 cards priced at $29.99–$39.99; in an unusual turn, two missing designs—Miren, the Moaning Well and Master of the Feast—show up as bonus cards on some sheets. Miren’s reprint could carry a high premium, though Secret Lair prints typically maintain value. Additional bonuses include Tidal Barracuda and Invasion Plans, but pull rates and final market prices for these extras are still unknown, and the overall value of the drop remains uncertain.

Donatello’s Technique Poised to Be the TMNT Set’s MVP

A TMNT crossover spoiler centers on Donatello’s Technique, a one-mana common that draws two cards and could enable new infinite combos. While not fitting every deck, it shines in Standard (e.g., Esper Pixie, Dimir Midrange) and looks like an easy upgrade for Commander (Yuriko ninjutsu, Blink decks), making it a strong candidate for the set’s best card.

Five-Color Turtle Power: Inside the TMNT Commander Deck

Magic designer Melissa DeTora explains Turtle Power!, a five-color TMNT Commander deck built around +1/+1 counters to emulate leveling up. The team scrapped an initial character-select mechanic in favor of a partner system to give the deck a five-color identity, while incorporating TMNT arcade-game tropes and featuring characters like Irma and Bebop & Rocksteady. The article walks through the design process, thematic choices, and the resulting flavor that goes beyond the main set.

Lorwyn Eclipsed Sparks Treefolk Price Surge

Lorwyn Eclipsed has ignited demand for Treebeard, Gracious Host (a Treefolk engine used in Commander), pushing prices up from a budget $0.57 to around $6–$7 for near‑mint copies, with market prices hitting higher highs due to dwindling supply. The surge reflects its rising role in Lorwyn Eclipsed‑themed builds (notably Doran and Food/lifegain shells) and broader Treefolk play, though volatility remains as more sets release and demand shifts.
