If you’re a big fan of playing the Commander format in Magic: The Gathering, this is the set for you.

Commander Masters is the first Masters set created specifically for Commander, featuring iconic reprints alongside cards that were previously exclusive to Commander preconstructed decks. The goal is simple: make ridiculously rare and expensive legacy cards accessible for regular Commander play without having to sell a lung.

Every booster has the following inside:

• 15 cards

• 1 Art Card

• 1 token/ad card or card from “The List” (a special card from Magic’s history—found in 25% of packs)

• 2–6 cards of rarity Rare or higher (2: 34%; 3: 48%; 4: 15%; 5: 2%; 6:

• 3–8 Uncommon

• 4–8 Common

• 1 Land

• 1 Traditional Foil card of any rarity

While the set is predominantly made up of reprints, brand-new Commander Masters cards can be found in the preconstructed Commander decks. Each deck includes 10 new cards, for a total of 40 new cards across Eldrazi Unbound, Enduring Enchantments, Planeswalker Party, and Sliver Swarm.

Most valuable Magic: The Gathering Commander Master cards

The same rules apply here as they usually do. While there’s nothing quite like cracking a pack and pulling your grail, I’ve gone through entire booster boxes without hitting that chase card, and it can get ridiculously expensive very quickly. Take Jeweled Lotus (Textured Foil) as a prime example: the main chase card of the set is currently over $100 cheaper than the price of a booster box. If you’re chasing the top-end cards, buying singles is often the smarter move and can save you a serious amount of money.
