The Best MTG Commander Precon Decks You Should Buy in 2026

Your journey into Commander starts here.

Figuring out what the best Commander Precons Decks are is close to a full-time job these days. Not only does every set lean into Commander in general, but we also receive new decks with almost every release. We’re also getting closer to a properly defined power system thanks to the Commander Format Panel, with the exciting Brackets and Game Changer system being worked on regularly.

• Buy Now: Lorwyn Eclipsed Dance of the Elements Commander Precon Deck
• Buy Now: Lorwyn Eclipsed Blight Curse Commander Precon Deck
• Buy Now: Lorwyn Eclipsed Precon Deck Display (Set of Two)

Lorwyn Eclipsed has brought us back to the wonderful plane of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor, and with it comes a whole host of amazing new typal cards for some of the most popular creature types in Magic. The set brings with it two Commander Decks, with the first being Dance of the Elements with Ashling, the Limitless, a five-color Elemental typal deck all about sacrificing creatures and creating token copies. 

Arguably, the more interesting one out of the two is Blight Curse and Auntie Ool, Cursewretch, a black, red, and green deck focusing on -1/-1 counters and getting an absurd amount of value whether you place them on opposing creatures or your own. They’re both a lot of fun, and it’s nice to have some new Commander Decks for the first time in a while. 

Edge of Eternities Magic: The Gathering Commander Decks

• Buy Now: Edge of Eternities World Shaper Commander Precon Deck
• Buy Now: Edge of Eternities Counter Intelligence Commander Precon Deck
• Buy Now: Edge of Eternities Commander Precon Deck Display (Set of Two)

Edge of Eternities brings us to space. It’s a bit of a change of pace, but it’s also a set filled with some really cool mechanics and flavor, which has been well-received by players. Edge of Eternities also takes us back to only having two Commander Decks. While they both do things we’ve generally seen before, each of them also includes a legendary Spacecraft you can use as your Commander.

The two Commander decks have very different strategies from one another. World Shaper lets you take Hearthhull, the Worldseed into the realm of sacrificing lands, and has a nice mix of Landfall triggers and sacrifice synergies to muck around with. Meanwhile, Counter Intelligence lets you pilot Inspirit, Flagship Vessel and use the Spacecraft to power your other artifacts with both +1/+1 and charge counters. Kilo, Apogee Mind is the backup option here, and happens to be an infinite combo with just about anything.

Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY Commander Decks

• Buy Now: FINAL FANTASY Commander Precon Deck Display (Set of Four)
• Buy Now: FINAL FANTASY Commander Precon Deck Display (Collector’s Edition) (Set of Four)

Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY has been an absurd success for Magic: The Gathering, with it becoming the best-selling set of all time even before global release. Now that it’s out, it’s easy to see why. There’s a wealth of incredible characters to play with, the power level is high, and it brings with it four brand-new Commander Decks.

FINAL FANTASY has one of the highest legendary creature counts ever seen in Magic: The Gathering, with a large number of the classic Final Fantasy characters represented in cardboard form. Each of the decks is pretty solid here, with loads of new cards to potentially build around. The fight for top place is actually pretty close, but we think that the Counter Blitz Commander Deck just takes the lead. Tidus, Yuna’s Guardian and Yuna, Grand Summoner are pulling in the same direction in this Commander Deck, and counters in Magic have always been pretty strong in the format. However, you’ll get some really good cards and a fun time no matter which one you buy, so don’t feel bad for following your heart on this one. 

Tarkir: Dragonstorm Magic: The Gathering Commander Decks

Market Price: $42.83

Market Price: $55.65

Market Price: $165.97

• Buy Now: Tarkir: Dragonstorm Sultai Arisen Commander Precon Deck

• Buy Now: Tarkir: Dragonstorm Mardu Surge Commander Precon Deck
• Buy Now: Tarkir:Dragonstorm Jeskai Striker Commander Precon Deck
• Buy Now: Tarkir: Dragonstorm Precon Deck Display (Set of Five)

Takir: Dragonstorm is the most Magic set we’ve had in a while. Part of that’s because it takes us back to a well-loved plane in Tarkir, but there’s also the fact that it’s filled with characters from that plane and doesn’t have a gimmick like race cars or cowboy hats. Sure, there isn’t anything wrong with that, but Magic players are pretty stoked for Tarkir: Dragonstorm.

The set came with a whopping five Commander Decks, and while they’re all pretty good, the best of the bunch is definitely Sultai Arisen, which has some genuinely absurd cards in it. Teval, the Balanced Scale is one of the two options for Precon Deck, where it ramps you ahead on mana, mills cards whenever it attacks, and creates Zombie Druid tokens every time a card leaves the graveyard. Talk about value!

Aetherdrift Magic: The Gathering Commander Decks

Market Price: $26.22

Market Price: $34.65

Market Price: $62.82

• Buy Now: Aetherdrift Eternal Might Commander Precon Deck
• Buy Now: Aetherdrift Living Energy Commander Precon Deck
• Buy Now: Aetherdrift Commander Precon Deck Display (Set of Two)

Aetherdrift is an interesting set with a cast of popular characters. The racing theme felt a little out of place at times, and there’s no denying that even if you didn’t love the main set, the two Commander Decks are seriously impressive. Living Energy is easily the best Energy Precon we’ve had yet and can become a powerhouse when upgraded (pun intended).

However, the best out of the pair is Eternal Might, which despite being a Zombie-focused strategy, manages to stand out as a unique take on the archetype. It also houses the immense Hashaton, Scarab’s Fist, an awesomely fun Commander to build around.

• Buy Now: Duskmourn: House of Horror Commander Precon Deck Display (Set of Four)

We didn’t have any Commander Decks with Magic Foundations’ release and instead got an ungodly number of legendary creatures in the set. So, this means that Duskmourn: House of Horror was the final release of 2024 with Commander Decks, and while they were all pretty solid, there was definitely a standout choice out of the terrifying crop of cards. Endless Punishment had the powerful Valagovoth, Harrower of Souls at the helm and is a Commander Decks offering not only plenty of power but also some cool lines of play, too. Valgavoth is also just an incredibly cool character because how could you not love a demon living in a basement?

• Buy Now: Bloomburrow Commander Precon Deck Display (Set of Four)

Ah, Bloomburrow, how could we not love the most adorable Magic set ever made? Despite the cutesy look of the set, this thing had some absolute game-ending weapons when it comes to cards. You can’t go five minutes in basically any format without being beaten down by some cute animal in an aggressive strategy (I’m looking at you, Coruscation Mage). It turns out the Commander Decks were solid too, if not a bit mean (thanks, Ms. Bumbleflower). 

The best one is Squirreled Away, which gave players what they wanted, and what they wanted was more Squirrels! You can also look at the Animated Army Deck if you like the idea of turning your trash into treasure as well. If you want to give your Bloomburrow Commander Decks an extra cuteness factor, then we’ve got our coverage on how to upgrade these into something truly adorable (but actually quite mean).

The Best Magic: The Gathering Commander Deck You Should Buy Right Now

Market Price: $37.66

Market Price: $42.55

Market Price: $321.50

• Buy Now: Tarkir: Dragonstorm Mardu Surge Commander Precon Deck
• Buy Now: The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Explorers of the Deep Commander Precon Deck
• Buy Now: Universes Beyond: Warhammer 40,000 Necron Dynasties Commander Precon Deck

If you’re looking for something different, then we would recommend the Mardu Surge Commander Deck from Tarkir: Dragonstorm. Aggressive decks aren’t uncommon when it comes to Commander, but they can often feel like they lose momentum quickly. Mardu Surge manages to have a very cool vibe (thanks to the color purple) but maintains plenty of staying power without the need to be overly aggressive.

A lot of that is thanks to Zurgo Stormrender, a three-mana creature that creates tokens but lets you either draw cards or drain your opponents whenever a creature token you control leaves the battlefield. It’s a remarkably fun concept and great for newer players who want to turn things sideways, along with veteran players who want to turn things sideways. It’s worth mentioning The Lost Cavern of Ixalan’s Explorers of the Deep Commander Deck, which cares about Merfolk and +1/+1 counters but if you aren’t fussed about budget, Universes Beyond: Warhammer 40,000’s Necron Dynasties is an incredibly strong Commander Deck, especially if you’re a fan of the Games Workshop franchise (or Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2). 

The Best Budget Buys Magic: The Gathering Commander Decks 

Market Price: $34.93

Market Price: $30.15

Market Price: $157.61

• Buy Now: First Flight Starter Commander Precon Deck
• Buy Now: Token Triumph Starter Commander Precon Deck
• Buy Now: Starter Commander Precon Deck (Set of Five)

Now, while it’s nice to grab the latest Commander Decks, sometimes you want to pick up a deck without spending a ton of money. Thankfully, the Starter Commander Decks are a massive boon in that respect. Token Triumph is a green and white deck that’s all about creating tokens and generating an impressively wide board state. It’s an easy one to upgrade if you decide to do so due to the sheer power of tokens in Commander, so that’s always a nice bonus.

If you prefer drawing cards over a massive board state, then you’ll want the First Flight Commander Deck. This one lets you draw a silly amount of cards, but allows you to soar over the competition and take your victory from the skies themselves.
