Wizards of the Coast has designed four Magic: The Gathering Commander decks for the launch of Modern Horizons 3, featuring Eldrazi and Energy themes.
Themes and what’s new in MH3 Commander MTG decks
Four Modern Horizons 3 (MH3) Commander Precon decks are scheduled to release globally on June 14. Each deck contains 13 new MTG cards, with the remaining being reprints. The themes for the four decks are Eldrazi, Jund Graveyard, Urzatron, and Energy. Each MH3 Commander Precon has a regular and a Collector edition version. The Collector version showcases alternative art on the box and every card has the foil treatment.
All decklists for the MH3 Commander Precon decks will be updated and uploaded once the new cards have been added to Moxfield.
Eldrazi Incursion MH3 Commander deck
The Eldrazin Incursion Commander Precon features all five colors in MTG, along with non-colored support. It ramps from smaller Eldrazi creatures into monsters that destroy opponents. The face commander for Eldrazi Incursion is Ulalek, Fused Atocity.
Tricky Terrain MH3 Commander deck
Featuring Simic colors Green and Blue, the Tricky Terrain Precon uses ramp much like the Eldrazi deck, but more so through lands. It is apparently a Commander deck based on the same themes found in Modern Urzatron builds. The face commander for the Tricky Terrain Commander deck is Omo, Queen of Vesuva.
Creative Energy MH3 Commander deck
The Energy mechanic is prevalent in Modern and Commander formats. Creative Energy thrives off the mechanic through powerful payoffs in the MTG colors Blue, Red, and White. The face commander of the Creative Energy deck is Satya, Aetherflux Genius.
Graveyard Overdrive MH3 Commander deck
Graveyard shenanigans through Jund colors is a popular build in Modern, with Graveyard Overdrive providing its take within the Commander format. Colors for the MTG deck are Black, Red, and Green. The face commander of Graveyard Overdrive is Disa the Restless.
