100 cards, one Commander deck
The highly anticipated Magic: The Gathering – Final Fantasy expansion is due on June 13, and preview season have shown off plenty of incredible cards for every MTG format. The most popular format, though is Commander–where players builds decks of 100 cards, with no duplicate cards outside of basic lands, all themed around one legendary creature–so we thought, why not try our hand at building a deck of our own with one of the Final Fantasy set’s many legendaries?
This gallery will run through the deck we’ve built during this exercise, including some of its key themes, strategies, and cards. While there are a few “staples” missing–we can already think of a few omissions that may seem like blasphemy among Commander players–this is a first draft; every Commander player knows that playtesting and tweaking are key to finding the right formula for any deck.
The full decklist, for reference, can be found here.
