Wakanda Forever is the green-white artifact deck from Marvel Super Heroes, led by T’Challa, the Black Panther. T’Challa makes indestructible Vibranium tokens whenever he enters or attacks and rewards you for casting artifacts, so the deck wants a steady stream of artifacts and ways to turn them into value.
Below you’ll find the full interactive decklist, what the deck does well, where it struggles and our recommended upgrades, split into budget ($7.57), mid-range ($28.77) and premium ($69.70). Start with the cheapest swaps and work your way up.

What the deck does well
- Strong artifact ramp like Gilded Lotus, Thran Dynamo and Coveted Jewel
- Big payoffs such as Metalwork Colossus and Divine Visitation
- Good removal including Generous Gift and Dispatch
Where it struggles
- The deck tries to do three things at once: big artifacts, the monarch and tokens
- Several cards that only care about taking the monarch back
- Some slow land searchers
