Thanks to Tuesday’s Marvel Superheroes Prologue stream, MTG players have some nice material to chew on over on the chilly nights to come. There are a bunch of interesting new cards in the batch we saw, including a number of viable Commanders. Among these, Super-Skrull stands out as a potential future MTG Commander classic.
As a five-color legend, this card is off to a pretty good start right away. On top of that, its unique ability suite separates it from other five-color options like Kenrith, the Returned King. As if that wasn’t enough already, even lends it some surprising, Wall-based infinite combo potential. Walls have never been the most intimidating creature type in Magic, but once this Villain drops in June, players may well learn to fear them.
Infinite MTG Wall Combos With Super-Skrull
To pull off an infinite Wall combo with Super-Skrull in MTG Commander, you need a few key pieces in play. Chief among these is Mana Echoes, an enchantment that generates colorless mana whenever a creature enters under your control. The amount of mana scales up with the number of creatures you control that share a type with the entering creature, which pairs perfectly with Super-Skrull’s Wall generation ability.
As you generate consecutive Walls, this quickly escalates to the point where you’re generating more mana than you used to activate the ability. The main hurdle here is that Mana Echoes only generates colorless mana, so you’ll need a way to filter that into white to keep using the Wall ability. Players online have jokingly suggested Chromatic Orrery, but Agatha’s Soul Cauldron is a much stronger option.
With this full setup in play, you can generate infinite mana and sink it into Super-Skrull’s draw ability to mill the entire table out. You can achieve this on turn six under normal conditions, or turn five with the help of Training Grounds.
There are other combo routes you can take with this Commander, too. For example, using Axebane Guardian alongside Freed from the Real or Intruder Alarm to achieve similar ever-scaling mana production. Axebane Guardian is an infinite mana piece in a lot of strategies, but Super-Skrull is a particularly good home for it. The fact that your Commander both enables infinite mana escalation and serves as an outlet for it is fantastic. While these lines aren’t as speedy as some Commander combos, they do use unusual cards, so opponents likely won’t see them coming.
A Surprising Typal Commander
These infinite combos are exciting, but they’re not the only thing Super-Skrull has to offer in the MTG Commander format. On top of that, it’s also a pretty strong Commander for the oft-neglected Wall Typal strategy.
We’ve seen a few Commanders supporting this archetype over the years. Generally, they lean into the idea of attacking with Defender creatures for tempo, as we see with Arcades, the Strategist and Felothar the Steadfast. Super-Skrull offers an alternative path, however, based more around going wide with Walls instead. Since it lets you produce Walls on demand, a number of interesting synergy pieces get a lot better.
Rampart Architect, for example, becomes a one-card way to extract all the basic lands from your deck with Super-Skrull. You can even throw in Wall of Mulch to make it a ramp/draw engine in one. Alternatively, you can also leverage cards like Rammas Echor, Ancient Shield to nab a huge number of Exalted triggers, which can allow your Flying Commander to land an easy lethal blow.
The fact that Super-Skrull allows access to all five colors is also well worth noting here. Neither Arcades nor Felothar can run Phenax, God of Deception, which is a fantastic win condition when you’re going wide with Walls. Adding red mana also allows access to Vent Sentinel, which, similarly, can leverage a big board of Walls to take players out.
Overall, while Super-Skrull isn’t the most exciting general five-color Commander we’ve seen recently, its potential with Walls specifically is excellent. If you’ve got a soft spot for Magic’s masonry, then June 2026 could well be your month.
