It’s been more than four months since Marvel Superheroes released. And, like with most sets, card prices have dropped considerably across the board. If there was something you really wanted for your Commander deck, now’s a good time to pick up your copy. Unless you want…
Mythics

The Mind Stone is still over $50, though this is already half the price of its peak. As a point of reference, The Soul Stone is just under $100, but this is also about half the price of its peak.
Of the other mythics, only three will set you back more than $10 at this point.
Mjölnir, Hammer of Thor is the second most expensive card in the set at this point at $16, while the God himself is under $9.
Rares

As for the rares, well, every single one is now under $3, with the dual lands being the most costly. These are pretty good budget options for 2-color Commander decks even at $3. Assuming their price is driven more by Standard, I’d keep an eye on these after rotation and pick up my copies then.

Uncommons and Commons
Hex Magic is the most costly of the bunch at nearly $1, but in this section I’d like to highlight some of the budget-friendly cards I think could shine in the right Commander deck.
Blue

Pym Particles – Spellslinger decks are always happy to have options for cantrips. Vigilance and unblockable is pretty decent, even if it’s sorcery speed. This can easily find a home in my Narset, Enlightened Exile or Vraska, Soul of Stone decks.

Iron Lad, Diverging Destiny – as an uncommon that costs .25 cents, this is a great budget option for Mystic Forge, whose cheapest copy runs about $3.50. You won’t be able to chain together spells from the top of your library with this Human Hero, but when you’re on a budget…

Kid Loki – I considered this card when it was first spoiled for a long time and decided it didn’t do enough. However, in a X/U deck looking to put counters on things, Loki gives us a layer of protection, particularly if we’re able to put those counters on creatures at instant speed. It can also slot into my Elrond, Moon-Reader deck as another cheap creature that can grow to epic proportions.
Black

HYDRA Infiltration – I like this card for my budget Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin deck. is a lot, but we simultaneously get to attack our opponent’s hand and trigger our commander, since we’re usually interested in only attacking with him anyway.
Green

Powerful Broker – flexibility makes this a great budget option. With the empower Jace tokens recently printed, this card’s uses have only increased.

Serpent Specialist – if you have a deathtouch deck, this 1-drop can slot in over some of the other options. The Serpent Society wants cheap creatures to sacrifice if you choose to build your deck along those lines and Serpent Specialist is perfect there.

Restorative Technique – this card does everything my Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn lifegain/counters deck wants alongside ramping us. I love this kind of niche ramp card for Commander. Using the same old mana rocks gets pretty old and I very much prefer to pay an extra mana for something that synergizes with my overall strategy.
Red

HYDRA Assault Robot – I love Aristocrat strategies and this Robot Villain is a powerful support piece for an artifact-matters deck looking to ping opponents. It could even easily slot in a Vraska, Soul of Stone deck as another way to gain value from the Sculpture Treasure tokens she makes.

Stark Industries Executive – Treasure decks want repeatable ways to make Treasures. This is a great budget option for them.

Vision of Love – the sequel to Cathartic Reunion in flavor, this 2-mana card-draw spell is one of a long line of Red spells that require a cost in order to draw cards. Vision of Love is a strict upgrade to Abandon Attachments in any deck but one that cares about Lessons. This card is a great budget option for any Spellslinger deck. In a Vraska, Soul of Stone build, we can sacrifice one of our many Sculpture Treasure tokens to draw two cards and get the Sculpture Treasure token back. Now that’s value!
Multicolored

Iron Man, Master of Machines – in decks looking to churn out artifacts (Vraska, Soul of Stone, for instance), this Human Hero will easily double as both threat and card-draw engine. Oh, and it plays pretty good defense, too!
Colorless

H.E.R.B.I.E. Scout Unit – an alternative to Solemn Simulacrum. We trade the guaranteed land drop for a guaranteed card alongside a flier. I almost wrote evasive beater, but the reality is this Robot Scout will be on chump-block duty more often than not.

H.E.R.B.I.E., Lovable Robot – okay, so this is a rare, but I just want to point out that it is another 2-mana ramp spell that brings a lot of extra value, should it live. Short of a sweeper, this lowly 1/1 ought to stick around a few turns. Decks looking for synergistic ramp outside of the usual 2-drop suspects should keep this rare in mind.
What do you think? What cards from Marvel Superheroes have impressed you over the past few months?
