MTG Marvel Super Heroes Set Reprints Kindred Discovery in Avengers Assemble Commander Deck
Magic: The Gathering's upcoming Marvel Super Heroes crossover set includes a reprint of Kindred Discovery in the Avengers Assemble preconstructed Commander deck, which was revealed by The Command Zone podcast. Kindred Discovery is a highly sought-after blue enchantment that typically costs $13-$95 depending on edition and is considered essential for creature-type focused decks. The reprint provides significant value to players interested in typal strategies, particularly those building around the Hero creature type featured in this Marvel-themed deck.
The Command Zone podcast revealed the complete decklists for Magic: The Gathering's Marvel Super Heroes crossover set, with the Avengers Assemble deck featuring 32 new cards including two Commanders: Captain America, Team Leader and Director Nick Fury. The deck's strategy centers on assembling legendary Hero creatures supported by equipment and counters, with a strong emphasis on creature-type synergies. The most valuable reprint is Kindred Discovery, a five-cost blue enchantment that draws a card whenever a creature of a chosen type enters the battlefield or attacks—a card that normally costs $13 to $95 depending on edition. The deck also includes other notable reprints like Spectator Seating ($16+), Plaza of Heroes ($8+), and Scorched Geyser ($2.62), all of which are designed to support the deck's legendary and Hero-focused strategy. The inclusion of these high-value reprints, combined with 32 new cards, suggests the preconstructed deck offers strong value relative to its MSRP.
What's missing
The article does not discuss the MSRP price point of the Avengers Assemble deck itself, making it difficult for readers to assess whether the reprints truly justify the purchase price. Additionally, there is no mention of how this reprint affects the secondary market price of Kindred Discovery or broader implications for Magic's reprint strategy.
How coverage differed
Polygon's coverage is straightforward and enthusiastic about the product value, focusing on the financial benefits to players and the thematic coherence of the reprints with the Marvel crossover theme. The article emphasizes positive aspects like 'absurd value' and 'compelling value' without presenting counterarguments or concerns about the product.
