Autumn is a busy time for Commander. Reality Fracture and six new precons have just landed, and more is on the way before the end of the year. Here’s what to watch.

Just released: Foundations Commander and Reality Fracture

On October 2, Wizards released Reality Fracture together with five mono-colored Foundations Commander decks. They’re aimed at newer players and are easy to upgrade:

• Calling All Angels (white), led by Giada, Font of Hope
• Keen Engineering (blue), led by Sai, Master Thopterist
• Wretched Ranks (black), led by Ghoulcaller Gisa
• Reign of Dragons (red), led by Lathliss, Dragon Queen
• Tramplesaurus Rex (green), led by Ghalta, Primal Hunger

Alongside them is the four-color Multiverse Reforged deck, led by Jace, Multiverse Architect and Nissa, Leyline Tamer. We’ve already written a Reign of Dragons upgrade guide and a Sai deck guide, and we picked out the best Reality Fracture cards for Commander.

Banned and restricted announcement

The October 12 banned and restricted announcement left Commander untouched: no new bans, no unbans and no changes to the Game Changers list, which still holds 53 cards. The only changes were to Competitive Brawl, a separate format. The next announcement is due on November 30, shortly after Star Trek releases.

November: Star Trek

The Star Trek set releases on November 13, with prerelease events starting November 6. It comes with four three-color Commander decks:

• Federation Fleet (Jeskai): Starships and card draw
• Landing Party (Bant): free spells off the top and lots of different lands
• Klingon Fury (Mardu): aggressive Warrior combat
• We Are the Borg (Esper): artifact creatures and assimilating your opponents’ creatures

The face commanders were confirmed on October 20: Jean-Luc Picard, Commander Spock, Worf and The Borg Queen. All four full decklists were revealed on October 29.

Mystery Booster: Commander Edition

Mystery Booster: Commander Edition, previously only available at convention events, got a wider release through a Secret Lair “Festival-in-a-Box” drop, which went on sale on October 19. Each 20-card booster includes cards in all five colors, a reprinted commander, a brand-new commander and a playtest card. It’s a pricey product, aimed mostly at collectors and players who love cracking packs.

Looking ahead to 2027

Next up is Nauctis: The Sunken Realm, scheduled for February 5, 2027. We’ll cover its Commander products when they’re announced.

Release dates come from announcements at the time of writing and can change. Check your local game store for availability.
