What is Commander?
Commander is a beloved format of Magic the Gathering known for its epic multiplayer battles, diverse deck constructions, and social gameplay. Each player chooses a legendary creature as their 'Commander' and builds a 100-card singleton deck around its colors and abilities. The result? Unique, dynamic games where every decision matters and every match tells a new story. It’s less about competitive winning and more about creative expression, intricate plays, and shared fun.
