mtg illegal cards banned commander Commander Banned and Restricted Announcement – February 9, 2026 WotC Announces Banned and Restricted

Phenax, God of Deception Mono-Blue-Black Mill Commander Deck (100 Cards, EDH) Fortress of Forgotten Minds

To prove my point, let me pull an example that shares two of my passions, superheroes and television

Fabled Passage is a strictly better Evolving Wilds/Terramorphic Expanse, and I would encourage people to consider running some amount of fetch lands, even slower/cheaper ones, as they can be recurred fairly easily, help to fix mana, and can trigger certain abilities for sacrificing permanents or permanents leaving play

It happens to be five colored, which isnt much of a surprise considering youd want a way to represent the entire team of turtles and their maybe conflicting dynamics in a single deck

Considering the card right above this one loves to draw an absurd amount of cards, Orcish Bowmasters is one of the best foils for that plan

This got me thinking about who "we, the player" are in a game of commander, as I usually associate this with my chosen commander legend
