The new cards are evenly distributed amongst the five decks.[10]
Notable cards
- True-Name Nemesis is the first card to have protection from a player. It saw significant tournament play in Legacy because it is very difficult to remove and it is unblockable.
- Toxic Deluge is one of the strongest boardwipes in the entire game and sees heavy play in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander.
- Oloro, Ageless Ascetic is the first legendary creature to have an Eminence ability, although it is not called as such yet. It would become a heavily played and powerful Commander due to its ability to influence the game even with no mana investment.
- Nekusar, the Mindrazer, Derevi, Empyrial Tactician, and Roon of the Hidden Realm would become some of the most heavily played commanders in their respective color identities
- Ophiomancer received minor notoriety for being a heavily played card but having no official token printed for its effect until Commander Collection: Black nearly a decade later
- Bane of Progress would become a staple for green decks in Commander due to its powerful effect to wipe the board of artifacts and enchantments while adding a significant body to the battlefield
- Darksteel Mutation is one of the most played removal spells in Commander thanks to its ability to shut off commanders permanently without allowing them to be returned to the command zone
