《万智牌》2026年所有指挥官预组牌组从最差到最佳排名

Only one Magic: The Gathering set remains for 2026, Star Trek, and four Commander precons are due to arrive with the Universes Beyond release. We also have an unconfirmed Spider-Man Commander precon in December, but we're still waiting on more details.

This leaves us with 21 unique Commander precon decks so far this year, so I'm going to look back at every deck we've had the pleasure of playing this year and rank them from worst to best.

If you love picking up Commander precons with each new set, we've got great news, as there will be at least four precons per set next year, meaning at least 24 new precons are coming in 2027.

Updated on October 15, 2026 by Niall Walsh: We're adding the Odds & Ends Secret Lair deck to our list following its release on the limited-print platform. At the time of writing, we have only four confirmed Commander precons left to release in 2026, although another deck is rumored to be coming in December.

17 Blight Curse

Auntie Ool, Cursewretch

While there are easily no terrible Commander precons from 2026 so far, one of these decks has to come in last place, and for me, it's Blight Curse.

I don't mind the Blight mechanic at all, but it's barely made an impact on Standard play, and this deck just isn't quite on the same level as many of the others released so far this year.

Blight Curse is currently worth $44.40 according to TCGPlayer.

I've played with and against this deck, and it's always struggled to keep up with the pace of the game and to have any meaningful impact. If anything, it churns away and drags games out, if only because it's the lowest threat at the table and gets treated as such.

That said, it can be quite the engine if you leave Auntie, Ool, and Cursewretch unchecked on the battlefield. Blighting creatures impact the game no matter what, either by drawing cards or by making opponents lose 1 life.

Still, it's an unremarkable deck that could use some major upgrades, and that's been made easier and more impactful by some of the cards released in The Hobbit if you want to turn it into a consistent performer at your local game night.

16 Lorehold Spirit

Quintorius, History Chaser

I'm not a fan of Planeswalker-led Commander decks at the best of times, and while Lorehold Spirit can still pop off for big damage as you swing wide with Spirit tokens, it's a fairly one-dimensional deck that can be easily frustrated.

This deck is built on the Boros Flashback mechanic and general graveyard interactions. The idea is to cast spells that can be cast again from your graveyard or ones that let you manipulate your graveyard in any way. In doing so, you'll also create Spirit 3/2 tokens.

The Lorehold Spirit deck is worth $60.87 according to TCGPlayer.

The main issue I have with the deck is that any half-decent Commander player will see what this deck is trying to achieve from miles away and just reserve removal, board wipes, and graveyard exiles to repeatedly hammer down on its controller until they're left with few strategic options.

Boros tends to do better in Standard because it's one-on-one and 20 life points. You can play as aggressively as you like, and the game's limited nature often means you can overwhelm your opponent before they have a decent answer. In Commander, games naturally go on for much longer, and a deck like this gets weaker with every turn if its battlefield isn't stacked with powerful creatures and tokens.

15 Witherbloom Pestilence

Dina, Essence Brewer

This is one of two decks that it hurts to have so low down this ranking, but Witherbloom Pestilence just isn't as powerful as I hoped it would be, especially when this Strixhaven College is arguably the best to use in the Limited format, and has seen multiple cards cross over into the Standard meta for some fringe decks.

The deck is far too creature-heavy, with 39 in total, which is somewhat understandable given there will be a lot of sacrificing, but that's typically reserved for tokens created by instants, sorceries, and enchantments. Basically, the deck feels unbalanced, and if players know your strategy is to go all in on creatures, they'll be more aware of your combos and more keen to stop them.

The Witherbloom Pestilence deck is worth $63.52 according to TCGPlayer.

I would argue that this is one of the better decks on this list for new players, as its creature-heavy nature is good for learning about combos, synergies, and how dynamic certain creatures can be, but if you hope to make it truly competitive at your game night, it's going to take quite a few upgrades.

14 Turtle Power!

Leonardo, The Balance (+ Partner)

Admittedly, I struggle with where to rank the Turtle Power deck on this list. Looking at it from a pure power perspective, it's relatively high up. The option to run a Partner Commander is also a big plus, as is the wonderful thematic storytelling behind its design. However, it just doesn't consistently become the giant mutant engine it should be.

It's a slow starter if you don't have a curated first hand, and I would say that it's such a situational deck that even pulling generally good cards off the top of your deck can feel a little jarring when you haven't got your board set up right to play and/or protect it.

The Turtle Power deck is worth $81.67 according to TCGPlayer.

WUBRG decks are always a little tricky to judge if they're not blatantly powerful right out of the box, and because the theming of this deck is so cool, it feels disruptive to try and make upgrades to it, so it's almost a case of being a precon that you shouldn't upgrade, but yet it desperately needs it.

Ultimately, I compare this deck with the other WUBRG that has been released this year, and in doing so, it became much clearer where the two stack up against each other and the rest of this list, and Turtle Power falls into the lower half as a result.

13 Doom Prevails

Doctor Doom, King Of Latveria

This is the other deck that pains me to have this low, but Doom Prevails is just ripe for upgrades and never quite gets over the line to reach its potential straight out of the box.

Conniving is the name of the game with this deck, but the creatures sometimes don't mesh well with the strategy, and instead it gets a little lost, especially if you can't get good Connive cards on the board early on. Doctor Doom lets Connive benefit you no matter the outcome: when you discard a land card, each opponent takes 2 damage, and if it's a nonland card, you still put a +1/+1 counter on the creature that Connived. But without some truly repetitive Connive triggers, this isn't as powerful as it first seems.

The Doom Prevails deck is worth $93.03 according to TCGPlayer.

Black Market Connections is also a big part of the deck, and getting it onto the board early, but still struggling to put some of the combos together, just results in the deck bleeding you dry of life points while your opponents sit and laugh.

Upgrades can make this deck very good, but without that refinement, it's a little hit-and-miss, so it can't quite crack the top half of this ranking.

12 Wakanda Forever

T'Challa, The Black Panther

We're getting into the decks that are largely separated by fine margins now, with Wakanda Forever being a very good artifacts deck that just focuses a little too much on mana artifacts for my liking.

Given how T'Challa works, you won't be short on colorless mana to cast artifacts, yet a quarter of the 24 artifacts in this deck are mana generators. Beyond the basic Arcane Signet and Sol Ring, artifacts that produce mana feel wasted in this deck, so it could have leaned harder into card draw, equipment, or vehicles to really power up this strategy.

The Wakanda Forever deck is worth $84.23 according to TCGPlayer.

The instant and sorcery spells in this deck could also use some refinement. It has the expected removal and looting, but I would like to see more token generation or boosting for existing creatures to add another deadly element to the playbook.

Finally, 12 forests and 12 plains leave plenty of room for more powerful or impactful lands, which feels like an obvious starting point for upgrades.

What this deck does well, however, is stick to its core artifact-based attack, and it can become a problem very quickly if you get T'Challa churning out the Vibranium tokens as soon as possible.

11 Foundations Starter Decks

Gaida, Gisa, Sai, Lathliss, and Ghalta

Okay, so the Foundations starter decks are actually a whole lot better than I thought. Each of the five mono-color decks brings a ton of value to the table, not necessarily in the cards, but in how it teaches the basic principles of Commander as a format, while still making it incredibly fun. Oh, and each deck is competitive, too. You won't need to upgrade these decks to earn your first win in casual settings, and that arguably makes them the perfect starting block for anyone new to the format.

It's been ages since the last Commander starter decks were released, and the game has changed a lot in that time. I wasn't initially a fan of these decks being mono-color, but after reading through the decklists, it's the right play.

Taking everything into account, these are great Commander decks to start your journey with, especially for under $30, and if not for the quality of precon we've seen this year, they would have ranked much higher.

10 Hatsune Miku Secret Lair

A Slick Selesnya Offering

While the hype for the Hatsune Miku Secret Lair deck may have been high, when you take a step back and really look at the deck, it's nothing special, not in the same way that Goblin Storm was such an obvious win.

That said, Trostani, Selesnya's Voice is an interesting Commander who works well in token, Populate, Lifelink, and +1/+1 counter decks, and this deck list has a little bit of everything.

The Hatsune Miku deck has a market value of $447.21, according to TCGPlayer.

Taking almost the opposite approach to Goblin Storm, this Secret Lair precon is less about winning and more about having fun, so bear that in mind if you pick one up.

9 Odds & Ends

Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign

Another deck I really went back and forth on, Odds & Ends is great on paper and valuable too, but in reality it's a little one-dimensional, leaning far too heavily on odd spell costs and trying to get Yennett into play to attack and cast spells for free. When ranking these decks, I have to consider how fun they are to play, how effective they are in casual play, and how much they cost. At $149.99, this deck is too expensive to justify for many players, and the fun you'll have playing (and winning) with it doesn't quite offset that.

Yennett is a fun Commander, though, and this deck is structured really well, so if you managed to secure one of these decks for early shipping during its print-to-demand window, you'll have plenty of fun playing with your pod. If you're hoping to take things a little more seriously, the deck's power level is comfortably in bracket two, with no major game-changers, so don't go thinking it'll run the gauntlet at a cEHD event.

Its general playability and casual power level put it in the top half of decks released this year, but I'm not confident we'll be talking about Odds & Ends the same way we'll be talking about another Secret Lair deck that hasn't shown up on this list yet (spoilers).

8 Prismari Artistry

Rootha, Mastering The Moment

The biggest compliment I can pay to Prismari Artistry is that, in the times I've played it since its launch, players have often underestimated it as a simple spellslinging deck. In reality, there's far more nuance to this deck, and Rootha is quite a brilliant Commander when played right.

You'll be slinging spells, sure, but Rootha creates flying Elementals with Haste and power/toughness equal to the highest mana value spell you cast in your first main phase. This means you want to reserve a single spell for this phase, if possible, before moving into combat. You also don't want to waste spells on your opponents' turns when possible, because churning out these Elemental tokens is quite key to victory.

The Prismari Artistry deck is worth $68.46 according to TCGPlayer.

My main gripes with Prismari Artistry are that the mana base feels a little high, likely to make the most of Rootha's ability, so I've found myself almost downgrading the deck with some cheaper spells to stay relevant in the game during earlier turns. Its spell diversity is also great, but it could do with some more high-cost spells with alternative casting methods. Delve is used to great effect on a few cards, but more ways to cast huge spells for less while still triggering the higher cost for Rootha is an easy upgrade.
