Commander 2017, officially styled as Commander (2017 Edition), is a product in the Commander series that will be released by Wizards of the Coast on August 25, 2017.[3]
Set details
Starting with Commander 2017, Commander sets are reduced from five to four preconstructed theme decks (without reducing the number of new cards) and will be built around themes instead of focussing on color combinations.[4] The reduction of number of decks comes forth from the idea that the best Commander play experience for a new Commander player is a four-player game.[4]
Commander 2017 features four 100-card decks. There are 56 new cards legal in Vintage and Legacy. Each of the four decks is tribal themed, based on the "most popular, and interesting, tribes".[3] Cards from Commander 2017 will be featured and distributed in connection with a future offering on Magic Online. The expansion symbol is a four-parted shield File:C17 expansion symbol.png.
Each preconstructed deck was designed with an identity for each tribe:[5]
"Draconic Domination" ("dragons matter" / ramp)[4]- "Feline Ferocity" ("cats matter" and equipment)[6] [4]
- Vampiric Bloodlust ("Vampires matter")
- Arcane Wizardry ("Wizards matter")
Mechanics
- Commander 2017 introduces eminence, an ability word that occurs on legendary creatures. It gives the creatures usefulness in both the command zone and in the battlefield.
Cycles
Commander 2017 has at least two cycles of new cards, some of them only consisting of four cards:
- Tribal commanders: Four mythic rare legendary creatures, each representing the theme of one deck —
- Curses: Five uncommon monocolored curses — Curse of Vitality, Curse of Verbosity, Curse of Disturbance, Curse of Opulence, and Curse of Bounty.
- Kindred spells: — Kindred Discovery (), Kindred Charge (), Kindred Summons ()
Theme decks
Commander 2017 consists of four multi-colored decks:[3]
