Expansion symbol

Commander Legends is the first-ever Magic: The Gathering Commander set that is designed to be drafted. It is the Innovation product for 2020, and will be released in November 2020.

Set details

Commander Legends is larger than a normal set, with both oft-asked-for Commander reprints and new cards. There are over 70 brand-new legends, and some of them are planeswalkers. The set features many known planes and characters as well as new ones. These cards can be from anywhere in space and time in the Multiverse and are legal in Eternal formats like Legacy, Vintage, and Commander.

The set contains 361 regular cards () and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. Cards with alternate card frames have another card number than the original version. The set introduces "Etched Foils".

The set is designed to play Limited Commander: you can play Draft or Sealed with it.

Storyline

The set pulls from anywhere and anytime in the multiverse. From Lorwyn to Alara, from the tales of the original Weatherlight Crew to present day.

Marketing

Commander Legends is sold in 20-card booster packs, with a foil and two legendary creatures in every single pack. The set will be available in English, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish. The cards will also be sold in 15-card Collector Boosters.
