This set has two new Commander decks for you to enjoy – each deck features ten brand-new cards plus a suite of reprints and is available for $29.99 USD each in the MTGO Store:
- Fae Dominion (blue-back)
- Virtue and Valor (green-white)
Two other Commander cards, available only via Treasure Chests – Court of Locthwain and Throne of Eldraine – will be included in a future release.
Alternate-art treatments of Wilds of Eldraine will appear in many of the usual places. These include Extended-Art, Borderless, and Showcase Rares/Mythics (Treasure Chest); Promo Cards – including Promo Pack, Buy-a-Box, and the Bundle Promo (Treasure Chest), and Jumpstart cards (Regular in Deck Builder’s Essentials, Extended-Art in Treasure Chest).
Wizards of the Coast also revealed a few other key announcements. Starting with the Deck Brewer’s Pass, a new take on All-Access that allows unprecedented usage of the newest cards in service of one goal: figuring out what cards you want to focus on collecting across all of MTGO. The Deck Bewer’s Pass is $20 USD, and All-Access privileges will last until Wednesday, September 13, at 10 a.m. PT. All Rare Event Tokens will be removed from accounts, and All-Access will be turned off on September 13.
Next, there are the Anime Borderless Bundles. They feature whimsical illustrations by Japanese artists. 20 cards on the Enchanted Tales bonus sheet have been given an anime makeover! The five colors of Magic are represented by four cards apiece. The Anime Borderless Bundles will cost $19.99 USD.
Finally, new player experiences are changing. New changes will be implemented to make the beginning of a player’s MTGO journey more intuitive, welcoming, and rewarding. By the end of September, there will be a three-pronged approach to New Player Events. Each event showcases one of Magic Online’s differentiating experiences in the digital Magic world.
First, the Modern Gauntlet will be kept intact – this helps new folks get exposed to the most popular competitive Constructed format by playing a selection of deck. The newest piece of the New Player triumvirate is Commander Gauntlet! We’re taking the five Starter Commander Decks available in the Store and pitting them against one another for new players to gain experience in a Phantom experience. After joining the event, choose one of the decks, review its contents, and then join the matchmaking queue. Super Jump will return to MTGO as an evergreen offering on September 27, as Jumpstart is the most effective format for bridging the gap for new players climbing the learning curve.
