Jocasta, Automaton Avenger

Description

Jocasta, Automaton Avenger enters the Magic: The Gathering Commander format as a distinct Legendary Artifact Creature with the Robot and Hero subtypes. Released in 2026 as part of the Marvel Super Heroes subset, this card carries the number 439 and is classified as a Rare. The card features a mana value of three, making it an efficient early-game presence that can be cast with standard ramp strategies. As a Robot Hero, Jocasta possesses the Flying ability, allowing it to bypass ground blockers and apply immediate pressure to opponents. Its primary value lies in its interaction with your commander strategy. Whenever your commander deals combat damage to a player, Jocasta gains a +1/+1 counter, growing stronger as the game progresses and your commander remains active on the battlefield. A key feature of this card is its graveyard recursion ability. If Jocasta is in your graveyard, you may return it to the battlefield tapped and attacking whenever you attack with your commander. This mechanic allows players to reuse the card’s Flying ability and counter-gaining potential multiple times per game, provided they maintain an aggressive commander strategy. This synergy makes it a compelling inclusion for decks built around heroic or artifact-centric themes within the Marvel universe. Jocasta, Automaton Avenger stands out as a functional and thematic piece for players looking to build competitive or casual Commander decks centered around robotic or legendary artifact creatures. The card’s design and rules text offer a blend of strategic depth and franchise familiarity, appealing to both Magic veterans and Marvel enthusiasts.
