The Turtle Power Deck Is the Perfect Way to Get Into Commander, Here’s Why

In all of those areas, Turtle Power does a pretty good job. We’ll comment on how fun it is to play (and the myriad ways to do so) shortly, but for now, there are some decent reprints here.

Naturally, the value will drop as soon as players have picked up Turtle Power, but Fabled Passage, Wave Goodbye, Assassin’s Trophy, Vigor, and Steelbane Hydra are cards that would have been pricey had they not been included here.

For new cards, Continue is an awesome low-cost recursion instant that brings you four creatures back from the graveyard following a board wipe, while Krang, the All-Powerful, gets you double draw triggers and counters.

All in all, there’s plenty of value here in both new cards and reprints, but the real appeal is in how the deck plays.

Swappin’ Shells

Commander Decks have multiple Legendary creatures inside, if you want to swap out your leading favorite for someone else, but Turtle Power goes a step further.

There are six borderless foil cards that cover the Turtles individually, Splinter, and then Heroes in a Half Shell as the team comes together. That means you can swap them around as you see fit, but there are plenty of other Legendary Creatures to use as a Commander, too.

That means you can rotate elements of the deck to fit your playstyle, or try out new cards to find some synergies, while the Partner mechanic lets you play a pair of Commanders.
