Commander 2021, also referred to as Strixhaven Commander[2], officially styled as Commander (2021 Edition) and marketed as the Strixhaven: School of Mages Commander decks, is a product in the Commander series released by Wizards of the Coast. The set will be released on the same day as Strixhaven: School of Mages, and is marketed as an integral part of that set.[3] It is scheduled to be released on April 23, 2021.
Set details
Commander 2021 consists of five preconstructed theme decks, similar to Ikoria Commander, and features 15 premium foil commanders. The five enemy colored 100-card decks contain TBA different cards in total. There are 81 new cards legal in Vintage and Legacy(1 uncommons, 70 rares, 10 mythic rares). These are set on the same plane as Strixhaven, though the reprints can be from anywhere.
As part of a larger push toward moving away from plastic packaging, this product features reduced plastic packaging. Each package contains 1 foil-etched display commander card (replacing the oversized cards from previous Commander sets), a 100 card deck (including 2 regular foils), 10 double-sided tokens, 1 deck box and 1 life wheel.[4] Each deck features TBA new cards, with some of them appearing in several decks.
The following cards are included in every deck: TBA
The new 70 rares and 10 mythic rares from the Commander 2021 decks are available in an extended-art version (#TBA-TBA). These may be found in a dedicated single slot of the Strixhaven: School of Mages Collector Booster.[5] These extended-art cards are only available in non-foil. Of note, the rares and mythic rares that are reprints in the Commander 2021 decks aren't found in Strixhaven Collector Boosters.
