Is Planeswalker Party worth buying?

from Commander Masters EDH Decks: Are They Worth It? by Sean Migalla

Planeswalker Party is a flashy Commander deck exploring new territory for a precon. It’s a bit too complicated for newer players, but it should be a blast for anyone with a solid understanding of how best to use planeswalkers. As with any superfriends deck, strategies like this tend to lead to prolonged games due to opponents expending resources and combat steps dealing with planeswalkers instead of threatening life totals.

The reprints value is quite good overall, assuming you’re getting this precon at a reasonable price, and the first-time card treatment for characters like Vronos, Commodore Guff, and Leori is fun to see. It’s definitely one of the splashier themes from this product lineup.

How Planeswalker Party plays

primer from Planeswalker Party Upgrade Guide: 17 Easy Changes You Can Make by Andrew Quinn

Planeswalker Party is WotC’s first attempt at a “superfriends” precon, or a planeswalker-centric deck. Planeswalkers have appeared in precons before, but they’re usually capped at one per deck. This precon has 18. Yeah, these decks aren’t being built for beginners anymore.

Commodore Guff gets its first dedicated card as the face commander of the deck. With Guff as the commander, you’re incentivized to get as many planeswalkers on board as possible and protect them. The alternate commander is Leori, Sparktouched Hunter. While it works just fine in this precon, Leori’s probably best at the helm of a superfriends deck focused on only one or two specific planeswalker characters.

The deck has pillow fort elements meant to keep your opponents from attacking your planeswalkers, and it features a number of ways to get extra loyalty counters on your team. Virtually none of the planeswalkers included have devastating ultimates, so the effects that let you “cheat” extra loyalty onto your walkers aren’t as tilting or game-breaking as they otherwise might seem.
