Commander 2015, officially styled as Commander (2015 Edition), is a product in the Commander series that was released by Wizards of the Coast on November 13, 2015.[4][5]

Set details

“  Many will play, one will rise.  ”

Commander 2015 features five enemy colored 100-card decks (342 different cards).[6] 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.

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.[7] 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.

Magic Online

The preconstructed decks were not sold in the MTGO store. Instead, the Legendary Cube event awarded Prize Packs that contained six cards from a selection of the 56 new cards from Commander 2015 and 93 other cards from older Commander, Conspiracy, and Planechase sets. These Prize Packs were the only way for Magic Online players to obtain the new Commander 2015 cards.[8]

Mechanics

Experience counter card

Commander 2015 introduced Experience counters, player counters that will make your Commander grow in power during the course of each game.[9] Each game pack includes a card labeled "Experience" with the suggestion "Place your experience counters here." This card isn't required for play. It's simply a convenient spot to put your experience counters, which can be represented with dice, glass beads, or other small items.

Myriad is a new creature mechanic focused on multiplayer. When a creature with myriad attacks an opponent, that creature's controller gets a temporary copy of it attacking each other opponent.[10]

Bastion Protector is the first card to refer to multiple Commander creatures.

Cycles

Commander 2015 has seven cycles:
