Precon Upgrade Guides

Commander: Jace, Multiverse Architect

Use Jace to turn small tokens into high-impact creatures and planeswalkers. Prioritize repeatable token creation, top-deck control, and protection for Jace.

Commander: Giada, Font of Hope

Giada accelerates Angels and makes each later Angel larger. Add efficient Angels and card draw so the deck can keep deploying threats.

Commander: Sai, Master Thopterist

Sai rewards each artifact spell with a Thopter. Cheap artifacts and artifact recursion turn those tokens into sustained pressure and card draw.

Commander: Ghoulcaller Gisa

Gisa turns a creature’s power into a Zombie army. Reusable sacrifice fodder and death payoffs make every activation matter.

Commander: Lathliss, Dragon Queen

Lathliss doubles down on nontoken Dragon entries. Cost reduction and haste let the deck produce Dragons before opponents can answer them.

Commander: Ghalta, Primal Hunger

Ghalta rewards early power on the battlefield. Efficient creatures, draw tied to creature power, and trample support keep pressure high.

Commander: Captain America, Team Leader

Captain America gives entering Heroes haste and counters. Favor low-cost Heroes and ways to multiply or protect those counters.

Commander: Doctor Doom, King of Latveria

Doctor Doom connives with a Villain each combat and drains opponents when lands are discarded. Add repeatable discard and graveyard value.

Commander: Invisible Woman

Invisible Woman makes Walls after noncreature spells, then turns a wide board into an unblockable attack. Cheap interaction and token makers support both halves.

Commander: T'Challa, the Black Panther

T’Challa creates Vibranium and grows when large artifacts are cast. Keep enough artifact spells to spend that restricted mana efficiently.

Commander: Quintorius, History Chaser

Quintorius makes Spirits when cards leave your graveyard. Repeatable recursion and low-cost graveyard interaction build a board for the double-strike finish.

Commander: Rootha, Mastering the Moment

Rootha turns an instant or sorcery cast before combat into a hasty Elemental. Cost reduction and flexible spells make that trigger more reliable.

Commander: Zimone, Infinite Analyst

Zimone discounts the first X spell each turn as her counters grow. Instant-speed X spells can trigger the discount on opponents’ turns.

Commander: Killian, Decisive Mentor

Killian goads creatures when enchantments enter and draws when enchanted creatures attack. Cheap Auras and protection keep the engine running.

Commander: Dina, Essence Brewer

Dina draws once each turn when a creature is sacrificed. Repeatable fodder and sacrifice outlets can collect cards across every turn cycle.

Commander: Heroes in a Half Shell

Heroes in a Half Shell rewards combat damage from Mutants, Ninjas, and Turtles. Evasion and protection help several creatures connect.

Commander: Ashling, the Limitless

Ashling gives Elementals evoke and copies them when sacrificed. Prioritize powerful enters-the-battlefield effects and ways to keep or reuse the copies.

Commander: Auntie Ool, Cursewretch

Auntie Ool rewards placing -1/-1 counters on any creature. Repeatable counter sources and counter synergies sustain cards and life loss.

Commander: Edgar Markov

Edgar Markov builds an unstoppable Vampire horde: every Vampire cast creates another attacker, and Eminence grows the whole board without casting a thing. Upgrades cut slow high-cost cards for cheap Vampire payoffs, fast mana, and protection.

Commander: Lathril, Blade of the Elves

Lathril drains the table by tapping ten Elves. The deck swarms cheap Elves, generates overwhelming mana, and converts the horde into damage. Upgrades add untap engines, Elf lords, and reliable card draw.

Commander: Szarekh, the Silent King

Szarekh mills artifacts into the graveyard and reanimates them for free. The deck grinds value from artifact synergies and recursion. Upgrades add efficient self-mill, cheap reanimation, and artifact payoffs.

Commander: Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients

Vrondiss makes Dragon tokens whenever damaged and rolls dice to burn the table. The deck plays aggressive Dragons and damage-based payoffs. Upgrades add haste enablers, extra combat, and Dragon cost-reducers.
