Commander Masters insert, Dominaria United archetypes.
Gavin Verhey gave teasers for Commander Masters with the following hints.[1]
- There is a card that is NOT a planeswalker, which enters with loyalty counters — Gatewatch Beacon
- There is a new card with the adamant ability from Throne of Eldraine — Desecrate Reality
- There is a card that can become a legendary 6/6 Nightmare God creature with menace and deathtouch — Cacophony Unleashed
- The colorless deck isn't just Eldrazi. For example, there's a new colorless Ikoria monster, and a new Strixhaven Archaic too! — Skittering Cicada, Abstruse Archaic
- There's a card I love that was originally designed for Commander 2018 and cut — Battle at the Helvault[2]
- There's a new titan, modeled after the M11 Titans — Titan of Littjara
- There's a card that turns planeswalkers into birds — Sparkshaper Visionary
- There's a new impetus, in the same vein as the ones we originally saw in Ikoria Commander — Ghoulish Impetus
- There's a legendary card for an obscure flavor text character we saw in Time Spiral block — Rukarumel, Biologist
- There's a card named "Guff Rewrites History" — Guff Rewrites History
- There's a legendary creature that makes you choose a planeswalker type — Leori, Sparktouched Hunter
- There is a mono blue planeswalker that has never gotten a card before. And no, it's not one of the Nine Titans! — Vronos (Vronos, Masked Inquisitor)
Art:
- Sliver Swarm: a sliver covered in lazotep with Bolas horns, illustrated by Maxime Minard — Lazotep Sliver
- Planeswalker Party: a new planeswalker card for Teyo Verada, illustrated by Kieran Yanner — Teyo, Geometric Tactician
- Enduring Enchantments: a new legendary creature from Theros, illustrated by Miranda Meeks — Narci, Fable Singer
- Eldrazi Unbound: a card with a great name, illustrated by Eli Minaya, depicting Emrakul, Ulamog and Kozilek all in one place — Rise of the Eldrazi
Callbacks
- Rise of the Eldrazi combines the cast triggers of the original Eldrazi titans from the homonym set: Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn.
Limited archetypes
The limited archetypes guide included in Commander Masters draft booster boxes was printed with incorrect draft archetypes for the set.[3] Instead it listed the ten Dominaria United archetypes by mistake.[4]
