A Marvel Secret Lair full of Commander staples
Marvel’s History of Heroes is a 30-card countdown kit for Marvel: Darkhold Destiny, on sale November 2 for $199.99. It reprints Fierce Guardianship, Biorhythm, Tainted Pact, Opposition Agent and a first-ever Molten Duplication, plus two early Darkhold Destiny cards.

Mystery Booster Commander Edition, outside conventions
Until now, Mystery Booster Commander Edition was only sold at convention events. Festival in a Box: Atlanta ($249.99, limit two per customer, while supplies last) includes a full 24-pack box. Every 20-card pack has a reprinted commander and a brand-new commander, plus playtest cards, which makes it a great Commander draft night. The new cards from Mystery Booster Commander Edition become legal in Commander on November 13, and in Legacy and Vintage on January 1. The box also comes with four foil Secret Gallery cards (Parallax Tide, Regrowth, Viridian Revel and Assassin’s Trophy) and promos of Tana, the Bloodsower and Tymna the Weaver.
No Commander changes this month
The October banned and restricted update changed Competitive Brawl only. Commander’s banned list and the Game Changers list are unchanged: 53 cards, the same as since Farewell and Biorhythm were added. Want a printable copy for game night? Grab our free Commander Brackets Cheat Sheet.
