Your deck is built around a single legendary creature (the “commander,” which can be cast multiple times), and can use only cards within that creature’s color idenity.
A Commander deck must be exactly 100 cards, and can’t contain more than one copy of any card other than basic lands, making it a fun challenge for a creative deck builder. Play in a multiplayer free-for-all and maximize your commander’s strengths to make sure you’re the last one standing! Commander (2018 Edition) brings back a very special category of commanders: planeswalkers! Yep, instead of a creature, each deck is led by a powerful planeswalker and built to take full advantage of their unique abilities. Most planeswalkers can’t be used as commanders, but these four have been designed specifically to fill that role, so you can battle with a true legend of the Multiverse by your side.
