FAQs

What is Surge Foil treatment?

Surge Foil is a special holographic foil treatment applied to the cards in this Collector's Edition deck, giving them a distinct, premium appearance compared to standard cards.

How many cards are in the Doom Prevails Commander Deck?

The deck contains 100 cards, all featuring the Surge Foil treatment. It also includes 10 Surge Foil double-sided token cards.

Are the 30 new cards exclusive to this deck?

Yes, each of the 30 Commander cards included in this deck is entirely new to Magic: The Gathering and is specifically designed for this product.

Can I use this deck in formats other than Commander?

While you can use the individual cards in other Magic: The Gathering formats where they are legal, the deck is specifically constructed and balanced for the Commander multiplayer format.

What does 'play the villain' mean in this context?

It refers to the theme of the deck, allowing players to use cards and abilities inspired by iconic Marvel villains, such as Doctor Doom, and employ strategies often associated with antagonistic characters.

Is this deck suitable for beginner Magic players?

While the deck is ready to play, the Commander format itself can be complex. New players might benefit from learning the basics of Magic and Commander rules before diving into a specialized deck like this.

What is the 'connive' mechanic?

When you 'connive,' you draw a card, then discard a card. If you discarded a nonland card, each creature you control with power 2 or greater gets +1/+1 until end of turn.

What other items are included besides the cards?

The box contains 10 Surge Foil double-sided token cards, 1 deck box, 1 strategy guide, and 1 reference card.

Troubleshooting

Contact the retailer where the product was purchased for return or exchange options. For Collector's Edition specific issues, refer to the Magic: The Gathering customer support resources.

Unsure how to play a new card or mechanic (e.g., 'connive')

Refer to the included strategy guide for explanations of new mechanics and card synergies. Consult the official Magic: The Gathering Comprehensive Rules or online resources for detailed rulings.

Missing token cards

Check the main deck and packaging thoroughly. If still missing, contact the retailer or Wizards of the Coast customer support for assistance.

Deck feels inconsistent in games

Ensure the deck is properly shuffled and that you are using the correct Commander. Review the deck's synergies and consider how to best utilize the 'connive' mechanic and other villainous strategies.
