Welcome to Magic: The Gathering

In Magic: The Gathering, you take on the role of a powerful mage, casting spells in epic battles with your friends.

There are five primary types of magical energy you can draw on to cast your spells, each represented by a different color and each with its own philosophy and playstyle.

White: Order and Protection

Blue: Knowledge and Manipulation

Black: Ambition and Sacrifice

Red: Chaos and Aggression

Green: Nature and Strength

Each Commander Starter Deck draws on two colors of magic. Choose the color combo that suits you best or try them all!y an Un-set can deliver—strap in and enjoy the ride!

What is Commander?

Commander is a multiplayer way to play Magic—an epic, free-for-all battle full of strategic plays and social intrigue.

One legendary creature card serves as your “commander,” with unique abilities that make the rest of your plays even more powerful.

Alliances may be made, but in the end, only one player will be left standing. Until the next game begins, of course!
