Commander 2015 features five enemy colored 100-card decks (342 different cards). [4] There are 56 new cards legal in Vintage and Legacy. Each of the five preconstructed decks comes with one oversized foil Commander card, 10 double-faced tokens, a deck storage box, a strategy insert, a rules reference card and 15 new cards. The preconstructed decks will not be sold in the MTGO store; Magic Online players will only be able to obtain the new Commander 2015 cards as part of Prize Packs awarded to winners in the Legendary Cube event.[5]
Each preconstructed deck was designed with a primary theme and a secondary theme. The main new commander in the deck matches the primary theme, while the alternate new commander matches the secondary theme.[6] For instance, the white/black deck, Call the Spirits, has a primary enchantments theme supported by Daxos the Returned and a secondary lifegain theme supported by Karlov of the Ghost Council.
The only new printed arts are the Boros Signet and Orzhov Signet getting their MTGO arts.
Mechanics
Experience counter is a player counter that will make your Commander grow in power during the course of each game. [7] An Experience counter card is provided to keep track of the experience points.
Myriad is a new creature mechanic, focused on multiplayer, that when they attack an opponent, the player put temporal copies of the creature card attacking all the other opponents.
Bastion Protector is the first card to refer to multiple Commander creatures.
