MTG Duskmourn Spoilers – All Commanders

As a seasoned Magic: The Gathering player with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the upcoming Duskmourn: House of Horror set has me absolutely thrilled! The new commanders and preconstructed decks look incredibly promising, each one offering unique strategies that will surely shake up the metagame.

The global launch date for Magic: The Gathering’s upcoming set, Duskmourn: House of Horror, is scheduled for September 27, 2024. With just a few weeks left until this release, Magic players worldwide are eagerly anticipating the contents of this new set. Fortunately, some of the cards have already been unveiled to whet their appetite.

With that being said, here are some spoilers for the upcoming MTG Duskmourn set.

MTG Duskmourn spoilers – All commander cards revealed so far

For the upcoming MTG Duskmourn set, just as with previous releases, there will be four pre-built decks available. We currently possess the complete roster of the main commanders for these preconstructed decks.

Aminatou, Veil Piercer

Aminatou, Veil Piercer is a legendary creature that costs 4 (1 colorless, 1 white, 1 blue, and 1 black). At the start of your turn, you get to look at the top two cards of your library without putting them into your hand or graveyard. Each enchantment card you hold in your hand can be played as a “Miracle” with its cost reduced by 4 generic mana symbols.

Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls

Valgavoth, the Tormentor of Spirits, is a legendary creature that costs 4 (2 common, 1 black, and 1 red). It has the ability to fly and a Ward – sacrificing 2 life from you. At the start of each opponent’s turn, if they lose life for the first time during that turn, give Valgavoth +1/+1 counter and draw a card.

Winter, Cynical Opportunist

The legendary creature, Winter, the Shrewd Survivor, costs four (two of any color, one black, and one green). It has the special ability, Deathtouch. When Winter launches an attack, it forces you to remove three cards from your deck.

As I stand victorious in my gaming session, at the close of each turn, I have the option to sift through my discarded cards and choose any number of them, provided they contain four or more distinct types. If I do, I’ll bring one of those chosen permanents back onto the battlefield, marking it with a token of finality.

Zimone, Mystery Unraveler

Zimone, the Enigma Solver is a legendary creature that costs four (two common, one green, and one blue). It has Landfall ability – whenever a land you control enters the battlefield for the first time in a turn, reveal a sense of foreboding (examine the top two cards of your deck. Put one onto the battlefield as a face-down 2/2 creature and the other into your graveyard. You can reveal it anytime for its mana cost if it’s a creature card). If this ability has resolved before, you can flip over a permanent you control instead.

All four preconstructed commander decks

You’ll find Magic: The Gathering’s Duskmourn preconstructed commander decks at your local game stores (LGS) starting September 27, 2024. Each deck is expected to be priced between $47 and $50, depending on the specific store.

Each commander will be assigned to the following precon pack:

Aminatou, Veil Piercer – Miracle Worker
Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls – Endless Punishment
Winter, Cynical Opportunist – Death Toll
Zimone, Mystery Unraveler – Jump Scare!

Miracle Worker

According to Aminatou, Veil Piercer’s skills, it seems that the Miracle Worker preconstructed deck is designed as an enchantment-focused strategy. The primary objective of this deck is to manage the battlefield by employing enchantments at a more affordable price point. If players don’t want Aminatou to dominate their game state, it would be wise to cultivate friendly relations with them instead.

Endless Punishment

The title “Endless Punishment” implies its purpose clearly. This ready-made deck primarily aims at depleting your opponents’ life force. By achieving this, Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls gains additional abilities, and the player also receives a reliable drawing mechanism consistently.

Death Toll

It appears that the Death Toll is one of the strongest cards in this collection. Controllers of Winter and Cynical Opportunist will essentially have an unlimited way to bring their creatures onto the battlefield without paying any additional costs. Given that the deck may contain creatures with abilities that trigger when they enter the battlefield, opponents could find it challenging to manage this setup effectively.

Jump Scare!

For fans of maintaining an element of surprise, the Jump Scare! deck, spearheaded by its commander Zimone, Mystery Unraveler, is designed to keep opponents on their toes. Zimone’s strength lies in flipping cards – more lands you can get onto the battlefield, the more cards you can manifest and flip without having to pay for their morph or disguise cost. This strategy allows players to trigger multiple effects in a single turn. Utilizing fetch lands and mana-ramping spells is the most effective way to enhance Zimone’s abilities.

As a gaming aficionado, I’ve just wrapped up going through the lineup of upcoming commanders for MTG: Duskmourn. Once Wizards of the Coast unveils all the cards in the precons, I’ll be sharing the complete deck list with you. Stay tuned!
