Commander 2019, officially styled as Commander (2019 Edition), is a product in the Commander series that will be released by Wizards of the Coast on August 23, 2019.[3][4]

Set details

Commander 2019 consists of four preconstructed theme decks and will be available in English, Japanese, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian. Each deck comes with a deck box, 10 double-faced token cards, a strategy insert and a rules reference guide.

There is no pattern of colors between the decks.[5] The themes are:

Marketing

A special Sol Ring Commander promo (foil and non-foil) with new art by Mark Tedin will be released at Grand Prix Las Vegas, just before the release of Commander 2019.[7][8] 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.[9] The four featured abilities are populate, flashback, morph (including manifest and megamorph[6]), and madness. This was later confirmed in the Magic panel at Gen Con 2019.[5]

Other returning non-evergreen mechanics on new cards:
