Enter the Commander Format with an ready-to-go deck!

Commander is a relative newcomer in terms of Magic the Gathering formats but it stands as one of the most popular! Commander is a highly social format that involves four players and a surprising amount of politics and negotiation! The great thing about commander is the table generally decides the level of competitiveness, from a super casual game to a really competitive one! If you're looking to get into Commander, you can start off with one of the awesome pre-constructed decks.

Strixhaven, School of Mages Strixhaven introduced 5 Commander Decks, each based on the five colleges! They are all a great entry point to Commander and each use two colours!

Kaldeheim Two awesome decks were released with this set. Eleven Empire focused on flooding the board with a mass of elves, whilst Phantom Premonition utilised the Foretell mechanic.

Commander Legends This set was designed specifically for the Commander format, so its no wonder that it includes two awesome Commander Decks. Both Arm for Battle and Reap the Rides are great choice for both a new and experienced player.

Zendikar Rising Zendikar Rising introduced two epic decks with Sneak Attack and Land's Wrath. Sneak Attack was a tribal Rogue deck that focused on milling your opponents, wheareas Land's Wrath focused on brining out a ton of land and massive creatures.

Commander follows the regular magic rules with a few exceptions:

  • The game has four players, each trying to come out on top
  • Each of the players starts with 40 life instead of the regular 20
  • Each player has a special commander card and a deck containing exactly 99 cards

Each Commander Deck includes the following:

  • 1 Premium card
  • 99 Regular cards
  • 10 Double Sided Tokens
  • 1 information insert
  • 1 life tracker
