The Brothers' War/Commander decks

The The Brothers' War Commander Decks were released together with The Brothers' War. These are meant to be on-ramps to Commander, with a few new cards and the rest reprints.^[2]

Description[ | ]

The names of these Commander decks are the same as those of the prerelease packs of the set.^[3]

All cards in both commander decks use the retro frame treatment.^[4]

The two The Brothers' War Commander Decks each contain 10 cards that are not found in the BRO main set. These cards are legal for play in the Commander, Vintage, and Legacy formats. They aren't legal for play in the Standard, Pioneer, or Modern formats. Eight additional cards with the BRC code (#021/036 to 028/036) can only be found in Set and Collector Boosters. #29-38 are regular retro frame basic lands, #39-40 are the Display Commanders. #41-67 are extended art versions of the previous cards. The other cards in these decks (with printed set code BRC and collector numbers #68-211) are legal for play in any format that already allows those cards; that is, appearing in these decks doesn't change a card's legality in any format.^[5]

Cards with new art are: Bident of Thassa, Herald of Anguish, Vindicate, Traxos, Scourge of Kroog, Ancient Den, Great Furnace, Seat of the Synod and Vault of Whispers. Sphinx's Revelation has new flavor text.
