Four Modern Horizons 3 Commander Decks, a.k.a. MH3 Commander, are released together with Modern Horizons 3 on June 14, 2024.[2][3]

Description

Each deck introduces 15 never-before-seen Commander cards to Magic: The Gathering. Several reprints in the Commander decks have new art: Basilisk Gate and Legion Loyalty (both originally from the D&D crossover set Battle for Baldur's Gate), Crib Swap, Drowner of Hope, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, Eldrazi Temple, Magus of the Candelabra, Mana Reflection, Skullwinder and Stitcher's Supplier.

The four decks each allude to a popular or infamous Modern archetype: Jund, Urzatron, Energy, and "Eldrazi Winter" respectively.

Contents

Each package contains:

Legality

Despite using the Modern Horizons branding, these Commander decks were designed similarly to the Commander decks accompanying Standard set releases. The mechanically unique cards printed in these decks are not Modern-legal and the reprints aren't being added to Modern if they weren't already legal.[4] All cards in the decks are Eternal-legal.

Collector's Edition

A special Collector's Edition of the Commander Decks is released for this set. In the Collector's Edition, all 100 cards are foil, and every deck contains two showcase Borderless Profile cards.[5]

Mechanics

The MH3 Commander decks use Energy and Devoid from the main set.

Some other rare mechanics that are reused in the MH3 Commander decks on new cards are: Cascade, Encore, Escape, Fabricate, Flashback, Lieutenant, Myriad, Overload, Proliferate, Populate, Reconfigure, and Regenerate.

Counters

MH3 Commander sees the return of Experience counters.,

Card types

Like the main set, the Eldrazi Commander deck features the Kindred card type.
