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]
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.[4] The themes are:
- Faceless Menace (
, Morph) - Mystic Intellect (
, Flashback) - Primal Genesis (, Populate)
- Merciless Rage (, Madness)
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.[5][6] 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.[7] The four featured abilities are populate, flashback, morph, and madness. This was later confirmed in the Magic panel at Gen Con 2019.[4]
