Pod Dives Mega Review
Complete • 162 Cards
With the massive release of Magic: The Gathering • Marvel Super Heroes, our pod spent weeks breaking down all 162 eligible uncommon commanders for the Pauper EDH format. From devastating S-Tier Voltron engines to niche build-arounds, here is our definitive tier list breakdown from S through D tier!
Tier List Criteria (S Through D)
S Tier
The absolute BEST of the BEST from the set. Format-defining engines with game-ending potential.
A Tier
Missing one small factor from being S, but stands as an excellent Pauper option.
B Tier
Solid midrange options. Perfect to build around a specific archetype or focused theme.
C Tier
Build if you like it. Likely runs a narrow, linear strategy with limited flexibility.
D Tier
Would not recommend. High mana costs, underpowered stats, or minimal commander payoff.
