Commander 2019, officially styled as Commander (2019 Edition), is a product in the Commander series released by Wizards of the Coast on August 23, 2019.[5][6]

Set details

Commander 2019 consists of four preconstructed theme decks, and features twelve premium foil commanders. The four 100-card decks contain 302 different cards in total. There are 59 new cards legal in Vintage and Legacy.[7] The set is available in English, Japanese, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian. Each deck comes with a deck box, 10 double-sided token cards, a strategy insert and a rules reference guide. Each deck also comes with an oversized premium card that corresponds to the face commander of that deck. The basic lands of the set use the panorama art by Alayna Danner that was first used for the Core Set 2019 Standard Showdown.[8]

There is no pattern of colors between the decks.[9] The themes are:

Marketing

A special Sol Ring Commander promo (foil and non-foil) with new art by Mark Tedin was released at Grand Prix Las Vegas, prior to the release of Commander 2019.[11][12] It will be available through Commander events at MagicFests throughout the year, and at select conventions in 2020.

Mechanics

The European Distributor Blackfire accidently posted the information that each deck had a returning keyword ability as its main theme.[13] The four featured abilities are populate, flashback, morph (including manifest and megamorph[10]), and madness. This was later confirmed in the Magic panel at Gen Con 2019.[9]

Other returning non-evergreen mechanics on new cards:

Card types

Commander 2019 introduces the Sculpture creature subtype unique for tokens created by Doomed Artisan.

Cycles

Commander 2019 has six cycles, one of which consists entirely of reprints.
