For the complete overview of the release, see our Marvel Super Heroes pre-release guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n The deck offers two commanders to choose from, both embodying Black Panther. T'Challa, the Black Panther takes the lead commander slot, on the front of the box, while Shuri, the Black Panther offers a more aggressive alternative for players who prefer to pressure their opponents.<\/p>\n\n T'Challa creates a Vibranium token when he enters the battlefield and each time he attacks. This artifact token taps to produce 1 colorless mana, usable only to cast artifacts. For each artifact spell with mana value 4 or greater, T'Challa gains two +1\/+1 counters.<\/p>\n\n In practice, T'Challa rewards a deck packed with expensive artifacts: the more you cast, the bigger he grows and the more Vibranium he generates to chain spells together. He's a \"value\" commander that snowballs as the game goes on.<\/p>\n\n Shuri, for her part, is confirmed by Wizards and StarCityGames as the precon's second legal commander, on a more aggressive axis. Since her full rules text isn't verifiable yet, it's best to wait for her Scryfall page after release before locking in a game plan around her.<\/p>\n\n The backbone of Wakanda Forever is the \"artifacts matter\" theme: stockpiling artifacts to feed T'Challa and trigger his bonuses. The Vibranium tokens act as dedicated ramp, specifically accelerating the deck's most expensive artifacts.<\/p>\n\n The deck also includes the Monarch mechanic. The player designated as the Monarch draws an extra card at the end of their turn, until an opponent takes the title from them by dealing combat damage. In Selesnya, defending that status with wide creatures and tokens becomes a steady card-draw engine.<\/p>\n\n To evolve the precon, the natural path is to deepen the artifact base and the green ramp, then add protection against removal and board wipes to keep T'Challa in play. A precon improves card by card: there's no need to change everything at once. Budget-minded players will find other ideas in our selection of cheap Commander precons<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n A Commander precon often gets played dozens of times: without protection, the cards wear out fast. The first move is to sleeve all 100 cards with quality opaque sleeves. Dragon Shield Matte (pack of 100) are the go-to choice for a Commander deck: a single pack covers the entire list.<\/p>\n\nT'Challa or Shuri: which Black Panther commander should you choose?<\/h2>\n\n
Strategy: artifacts, Vibranium tokens and the Monarch mechanic<\/h2>\n\n
