Commander: Strixhaven - Magic: the Gathering

The Commander: Strixhaven expansion brings the academic magic of the Multiverse to the 100-card format. Centered on the five prestigious colleges of the elite university, this set offers unique gameplay mechanics and powerful legendary creatures. Whether you are looking for Singles to optimize an existing deck or complete Preconstructed Decks to jump straight into the action, this collection provides the essential tools for any spellcaster.

Exploring the colleges of Strixhaven

This release is defined by its focus on enemy-colored pairings, each represented by a specific college with its own identity. Lorehold (Red/White) focuses on archaeology and graveyard recursion, while Prismari (Blue/Red) celebrates the theatrical side of elemental magic. Witherbloom (Black/Green) deals with the essence of life and death, Silverquill (White/Black) masters the magic of words and politics, and Quandrix (Green/Blue) utilizes mathematical patterns to grow creatures. Choosing cards from these families allows players to lean into specific Magic: the Gathering archetypes that debuted alongside the main Strixhaven: School of Mages set.

Types of products in the Commander: Strixhaven expansion

Guide to choosing your Commander: Strixhaven products
