Eternal Might Precon: Decklist, Value, and Verdict

Eternal Might might’ve won me over. I’m not thrilled about “zombies-matter” as the theme of a 2025 Commander precon, but at least they did something different. The focus on discard payoffs and tokens sets it apart from previous zombie precons, the art is excellent, and the reprint value’s great. While it’s not exactly novel, it’s still very good, and it has the more powerful commanders of the set. I’ll give it my seal of approval. And hey, Eternal Might’s a pretty easy precon to upgrade, too.

It’s a zombie deck, folks! You’ve seen this before, though the twist here is that the deck cares more about discard synergy and creating tokens than it does about sacrifice, like the Undead Unleashed deck from Midnight Hunt Commander. If you’ve ever played anything even remotely resembling a zombie Commander deck, Eternal Might should look very familiar.

The face commander is Temmet, Naktamun's Will, which seems insanely powerful to me. Not only are zombies very capable of going wide, but it’s also just not that hard to draw a bunch of cards and pump your creatures, even if you’re just looting. Between your draw for turn and the loot when you attack, zombies are usually getting a base +2/+2 on your turn, and often more than that. Hashaton, Scarab's Fist also looks powerful, allowing you to make 4/4 copies of creatures that you discard. Hashaton is an excellent commander that’s likely to branch away from this precon and do its own powerful things, but Temmet’s definitely a contender for top-tier zombie commanders now.

Strategically? Play zombies and attack. There are token synergies in the mix here, but this is more of a go-wide beatdown deck than an aristocratic zombie strategy. I’m happy to see that because it takes a tired theme and reimagines it, even by just a little bit, whereas the energy deck just feels like more of the same all the way through.

I had a few goals for my 15 incoming cards: I don’t think it had enough ramp for such an expensive commander, I wanted to bolster the discard synergies, and I wanted more mass draw in the deck to really maximize the buff Temmet offers. I also slipped in an additional zombie support card or two to aid the main theme. Incidentally, Hashaton benefits from these changes as well if you want to swap commanders.
