Unlike the ill-fated Marvel set from last year, there\u2019s a single Commander precon here, and while we may not have been sure what to expect before launch, it turns out it\u2019s actually pretty great (with the caveat that you should be looking to find it at MSRP or lower).<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s why Turtle Power is worth picking up, whether you\u2019re a new player or you\u2019re just looking for some great new cards. <\/p>\n
What Makes A Good Precon in Magic?<\/h2>\n There are a few key considerations when picking up any deck. What does the deck intend to do as its playstyle, and does it execute on that vision? Are there any desirable reprints? Are there new cards that you\u2019d want to use elsewhere?<\/p>\n
In all of those areas, Turtle Power does a pretty good job. We\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n
Naturally, the value will drop as soon as players have picked up Turtle Power, but Fabled Passage, Wave Goodbye, Assassin\u2019s Trophy, Vigor, and Steelbane Hydra are cards that would have been pricey had they not been included here.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
All in all, there\u2019s plenty of value here in both new cards and reprints, but the real appeal is in how the deck plays.<\/p>\n
Swappin\u2019 Shells<\/h2>\n 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
