Magic’s TMNT Commander deck almost rewrote the rules of Commander

Wizards of the Coast knows that most of the people interested in buying cards from the upcoming Magic: The Gathering – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set grew up playing video games based on TMNT. The main set depicts a unique version of the Turtles that draws inspiration from 40 years’ worth of cartoons, comics, live-action movies, and games. To set the preconstructed Commander deck apart from the rest of the set, the design team went all-in on video game nostalgia. But they almost went too far and destroyed the fundamentals of Commander.
