Magic: The Gathering – 10 Character Team Ups We Want To See In March Of The Machine

If there’s one thing that Magic: The Gathering is good at, it is building hype. And in the upcoming March Of The Machine, there is a new reason to get excited. Now Magic is taking your favorite characters and smashing them together on a card, combining their colors, abilities, flavor, and more to make brand-new creatures.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen two characters from Magic’s lore pair up on a card. There have been commanders with the Partner keyword, letting you use two cards as your commanders instead of one. There have also been cards like The Royal Scions, which features both Will and Rowan Kenrith on one planeswalker card. With an infinite multiverse worth of characters in Magic’s lore, here are some possible team-ups that Magic could release in March of the Machine.
10 Krav And Regna
Not much is known about the Angel and Demon power couple other than the two battle hand in hand in Valor’s Reach in Kylem. There was a subtle hint that maybe the two found each other back in the plane of Capenna, but it is speculative at best, unfortunately.
Together as an Orzhav card, the two lovers could combine their abilities to perhaps give them lifelink. Only letting them make tokens when they gain life through combat damage would be a fun way to balance both of their abilities for one card.
9 Tergrid And Sigrid
Coming from the frigid Kaldheim could be the duo of Tergrid and Sigrid. The two pair nicely lore-wise, Tegrid, a God haunted by a demon who has tormented her since she was a baby, and Sigrid, a mortal given protection from the Gods.
Now together on a single card, the two could exile your opponent’s creatures from their graveyard and make the two stronger, either by stealing abilities from the creatures that get exiled or by adding +1/+1 counters for each creature exiled this way.
8 Light-Paws And Tatsunari
A kitsune, a frog, and a human all come together for some Kamigawa-based enchantment shenanigans with Light-Paws and Tatsunari. These two (or three, including Keimi) together could spam the board with frog creatures for each enchantment you play. Light-Paws ability could be balanced a little by sacrificing your frog tokens to tutor up enchantments from your deck.

The two together would be a new four-color combination commander for players to experiment with, giving you access to four colors worth of enchantments to access.
7 Oona And Dwynen
The two leaders from Lorwyen come together in one card at last. While Magic rarely combines two competing creature types together on one card, Oona and Dwynen could make it work. One possible route to take with Oona and Dwynen is that when they attack, you create an Elf creature token, and your opponent mills cards equal to the number of Elves you control.
You get the best of both worlds this way, an explosive mill strategy that rewards going wide with tons of creatures. While it can seem like you’re doing two different things with this route, it does provide an alternate win condition in case the board gets bogged down with creatures.
6 Darigaaz And Rith
Sometimes you need to jam two dragons together to make an even bigger dragon, and that’s what you could have with the two Primordial Dragons Darigaaz and Rith. As the last two surviving Primordial Dragons from Dominaria, Darigaaz and Rith represent an ancient power brought to the modern world.
A really cool ability that these two Dragons could share could be returning your other creatures to play as egg tokens after they die, only for them to return to the battlefield after a few turns as newly formed Dragons with all the same abilities as the previous creature. Like hatching little Dragon clones of what they once were. The card could be another four-color combination, giving players a chance to use white, black, red, and green dragons all in one Commander deck.
5 Rafiq And Breya
Alara is the home plane of the recently compleated Ajani, and they are not going to be happy to hear that their kitty cat planeswalker has gone evil. It makes sense that when faced with a multiplanar threat that can take down their paragon, the people of Alara will be able to put aside their differences to unite against a common foe.

Who better to pair up than the stalwart knight Rafiq and a powerful Esper artificer who dabbles in magic from Jund to forge an alliance to protect the plane? The two could make flying Thopter tokens with exalted, giving you an army together that lifts up one at a time to perform greater deeds.
4 Athreos And Erebos
The reach of Phyrexia has already tainted the Gods of Theros, but that’s not to say there aren’t still those who resist. That is where the God of the Dead and the God of Passage unite in a common cause. Neither god revels in the death and misery caused by the Phyrexian invasion of Theros, likely seeing it as a disruption to the natural order on the plane.
Unified in one card, the two could work to reanimate the recently dead, reinvigorating them to fight again against the Phyrexians. They might produce a stream of Returned Zombie tokens together or accrue card value with the death of each creature.
3 Glissa And Slobad
There’s nothing to say that these two old friends can’t come together again on a card. Just because they’re compleated and devote themselves wholly to a Phyrexian doctrine on different spheres doesn’t mean they can’t be pals going on adventures.
The two could be a powerful creature and artifact sacrifice outlet, with different modes available depending on what you sacrifice. It might be unlikely to see a team-up card with Phyrexians on it, but the thought of uniting Glissa with Slobad is too cool to pass up.
2 Massacre Girl And Fblthp
Two of the best characters from Ravnica could be united against the Phyrexian invasion on one card. This Dimir card has tons of potential; with one direction, the card could distribute -1/-1 counters on all creatures when it enters the battlefield and then bounce back to your hand whenever another creature dies.
You could keep casting it, giving more creatures -1/-1 counters, and bouncing it back to your hand as a repeatable way to slowly clear the board.
1 Kiora And Marit Lage
There’s nothing saying Magic can’t print a team-up card between a planeswalker and an ancient creature of questionable status! Kiora hasn’t been seen in Magic since War of the Spark, and her return to the game, alongside one of the most mysterious and ominous creatures in the game, would be an amazing chance for fans to finally see more of the eldritch entity.
A card like this would be immensely powerful and likely hard to balance. An interesting way to take Kiroa and Marit Lage could be that once the planeswalker card has ten or more loyalty counters on it, it loses all loyalty abilities and becomes a 20/20 flying, indestructible creature. You just have to keep it around long enough to tick up those counters.
