This Magic: The Gathering Secrets of Strixhaven Combo Breaks the Game With a Forgotten Mythic
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A new Magic: The Gathering card from Secrets of Strixhaven is pairing up with a forgotten mythic to create devastating combat loops in Commander pods.
Magic: The Gathering sets always bring fresh theorycrafting to the table, and the Secrets of Strixhaven release is no exception. As players dive into the new Commander precons and hunt down Mystical Archive cards, the Izzet spell slingers are already causing chaos. The standout culprit is Muddle, the Ever-Changing, a four-mana blue-red elemental otter shapeshifter from the Prismari Artistry deck that turns instant and sorcery casts into temporary creature copies equipped with the myriad keyword.
That effect alone opens up endless possibilities for multiplayer pods, but the community has quickly latched onto an explosive synergy with Port Razer, a forgotten mythic from Commander Legends that has seen a sudden surge in price on TCGplayer. Port Razer untaps your board and grants additional combat steps whenever it deals combat damage to a player. By using Muddle to spit out attacking myriad tokens of Port Razer across multiple opponents, you can chain extra combat phases and overwhelm the board surprisingly fast.
Combinations like this remind us why Commander remains such a vibrant format for creative deckbuilding and social play. It takes old cardboard sitting in trade binders and breathes entirely new life into it through clever design interactions. If you are building around the new Strixhaven precons, you might want to track down a Port Razer before the rest of your playgroup catches on and prices spike even further.
