What should you cut from the Wakanda Forever precon?
Wakanda Forever is the T'Challa, the Black Panther precon, released on June 26, 2026. We ran the stock deck through EDHTuner at bracket 2, the same check the tool runs on a deck you paste.
EDHTuner names no card to cut from this deck. EDHREC's data says other T'Challa, the Black Panther decks often play the cards that looked weakest, so it leaves them in.
The deck is short on ramp. The tool suggests cards to add there. This page shows no adds.
How this deck works
T'Challa, the Black Panther leads a monarch and initiative deck that also leans on artifacts, tokens and equipment. Its plan to win is to go wide and attack. Its 100 cards include 38 lands, 9 ramp, 17 card advantage and 9 targeted disruption.
What bracket is it?
By Wizards' bracket rules, the Wakanda Forever precon is bracket 1 or higher. It runs no Game Changers, mass land denial, extra-turn cards or two-card infinite combos.
The rules also ask how fast a deck wins and what it's built to do, and that part is for you and your table. The bracket checker page says how EDHTuner reads each rule.
How its counts compare
Each row counts the cards that do that job. The medians come from 18,414 public Commander decks on Moxfield, collected in July and November 2026. Moxfield puts 4,822 of them at brackets 1 and 2 and 6,057 at bracket 3. The deck numbers page says what each row counts. See how many lands Commander decks run, from the decks we counted.

Run it yourself
The tool opens in a new tab and runs the stock deck at bracket 2. There you also get the cards it would add.
The T'Challa, the Black Panther page shows what public T'Challa, the Black Panther decks on Moxfield run. The guide to cutting cards shows how EDHTuner picks cuts. The precons page has every other precon EDHTuner checked.
Checked on November 9, 2026 with EDHTuner v0.248.0. The tool reads EDHREC's data each time it runs, and that data changes, so it can name different cuts than this page does. The precon's cards come from MTGJSON (MIT license). Card data comes from Scryfall and play data from EDHREC.
