The Commander format is all about picking your hero and building a deck around them! In this casual, multiplayer format, you choose a legendary creature or artifact to serve as your commander and build the rest of your deck around their color identity and unique abilities. Players have a limit of one of each card in their deck, with the exception of basic lands, but they can use cards from throughout Magic’s history. A card’s color identity can come from any part of that card, including its casting cost and any mana symbols in its text. Every card in your Commander deck must only use mana symbols that also appear on your commander. Colorless cards are allowed as well.
