Commander Decks

These decks have (almost) everything you need; basic land, cards, and a suitable commander, all illustrated by the same artist.

Figurehead

There are enough lands and cards in a subset of the commander's colours to make a viable deck, but you may not be able to cast the commander or use their activated abilities.

No commander

There are enough lands and cards in a colour combination to make a viable deck, but no suitable commander.

Missing basics

The artist has not illustrated enough basic lands or other mana sources to meet the requirements for this deck. If you add other basic lands, you'll have a viable deck.

Dodgy manabase

The artist has not illustrated enough basic lands to meet the requirements for this deck, but there are other mana sources which do cover the requirements.

Low Card Count

Quantity of non-land cards is too low; but with a strong enough commander, this may not matter!

Pauper EDH

Pauper EDH - uncommon creature at the helm, the rest have been printed at common at least once.

pre EDH

pre EDH - only allows cards printed before the first official Commander product.
