Although those decks did serve the dual roles of providing a yearly entry point into the format for newer players and delivering an awesome selection of new cards to play with, I concluded that we had the right to expect better (especially given the higher price we were being asked to pay) in a number of areas. Wizards has confidently reassured us that they would do much better this time around, and so it seems only fair of me to subject C19 to the same kind of assessment. The complete set of decklists can be found here. I should, however, clarify one thing first. I am not here to tell you whether or not you should buy the Commander 2019 decks. That will depend entirely on whether you think you’ll have enough fun with the new cards and reprints to make the purchase worth it for you. All I intend to do here is to discuss, at some length, the strengths and weaknesses of these decks to help provide you with the information to determine whether they’re “worth it” for you or your playgroup.ĭespite what I’ve said before about the higher price of C18 and C19 compared to previous years’ products, I should also say that I think to look at these decks through a primarily financial lens is to miss the point somewhat.Ĭommander is a social format first and foremost, and if all you’re looking for out of C19 are some awesome new commanders and a fun night with your friends jamming the decks against each other, nothing in this article is meant to tell you that you’re doing it wrong.
