Try out the newest multiplayer product, Magic: The Gathering – Commander in a fun, casual setting!
Magic: The Gathering – Commander Launch Parties will use an open play format. Players will be placed into game groups of 3-5 players. When a game finishes, players can play again or be regrouped into another game with new players.
Are you familiar with EDH? If you're not, here are the absolute basics: 'Elder Dragon Highlander' is a player-created format in which each player selects a Legend to be the General, then makes a hundred-card deck based on that General's colors. And no card other than basic lands appears more than once. It's a lot of fun, and it's an entirely community-maintained format.
Magic: The Gathering - Commander is designed for multiplayer play, perfect for EDH. In fact, EDH is now officially known as Magic: The Gathering - Commander.
MTG Commander is composed of five different hundred-card decks, with no card other than basic lands appearing more than once per deck. There are a total of 51 new Magic cards spread across them. And each deck comes with three foil oversized versions of legends that also appear as regular cards in the deck. You can buy one of these decks and play it out of the box."
The 51 new cards will be legal in Eternal formats (that's Vintage and Legacy), but they will not be legal in Standard, Extended, or Block Constructed.
