Commander 2017 - Magic: the Gathering

Commander 2017 remains a landmark release for fans of tribal strategies in the Magic: the Gathering community. This expansion was the first to introduce the powerful Eminence ability, a mechanic that allows the influence of a commander to be felt even while they reside in the command zone. The set focuses on four distinct creature types: Vampires, Dragons, Wizards, and Cats. Whether you are looking for specific Singles to optimize your current deck or you are interested in the original Preconstructed Decks, this collection offers essential components for any multiplayer environment.

The tribal power of the Commander 2017 set

The impact of the legendary creatures introduced in this set continues to shape the format. Commanders such as Edgar Markov and The Ur-Dragon have become the definitive choices for their respective tribes due to their unique mechanics and high power level. Beyond these iconic legends, the set is packed with tribal support cards and generic staples that are frequently used in varied deck archetypes. By browsing the available Singles, players can find rare reprints and unique new additions that defined the 2017 multiplayer experience. Furthermore, the set included specific Tokens/Emblems that are necessary for tracking the various abilities triggered during gameplay.
