The next Magic: The Gathering release is almost here with Commander Masters! This unique release will feature a wide variety of both fan-favorite and brand-new cards with several variant treatments. We’ve gone ahead and created a complete breakdown of all the variants you can expect when opening packs.

Before we cover all the different card variants for Commander Masters, we’d like to go over some frequently asked questions for this release:

Q: Where can I find the exclusive Commander deck cards?

A: Unlike main set releases for Magic: The Gathering, the entire Commander Masters set consists of cards meant to be used in the Commander play format. However, cards that are exclusive to the new Commander decks will have card numbers ranging from 704-51, 779-782 and 813-1056.

Q: Why can’t I list the Release Promo, Disrupt Decorum?

A: Due to concerns from sellers and Wizards of the Coast’s policy, this card will not be available to list until release day (August 4, 2023).

Q: How can I tell if a card is a Variant Card in the Seller Portal?

A: All variant cards feature their Variant Type in parentheses after the card name. Examples of these will be (Borderless) and (Extended Art). When exporting inventory and sorting by card number, all Variants will be above card number 452.

Q: How can I tell if a Borderless card is Textured Foil?

A: There are 10 Textured Foil cards as part of Commander Masters: all 9 of the Borderless Profile Mythic Rares and the Jeweled Lotus card are also printed as Textured Foil. These special foil cards have the identifier (Textured Foil) in their card name and have card numbers ranging from 1057 to 1066 in the set.

TCGplayer Set Name:
The List

In order to make The List work well with the existing Catalog, we have set up the below guidelines:

  • If the card was previously printed as a non-foil only Mystery Booster Card, it will not be added to The List (this would duplicate the card in the Catalog) - List with caution as copies of these cards are already in the wild, and cannot be presold. 
  • If the card was previously printed as a foil-only Mystery Booster Retail Exclusive, it will not be added to The List (this would separate printings of the same card in the Catalog) - The non-foil printings will not be listable until release day (February 10, 2023), and cannot be presold. 

Cards from The List can be found in the below location for Commander Masters:

      • Set Boosters
        • Potential Slot: 1 token, ad card, or card from The List

 

TCGplayer Set Name: Art Series: Commander Masters

Art Series cards feature full art on the front and card information on the back. These cards can be found ONLY in the below locations:

  • Set Boosters
    • Guaranteed Slot: 1 Art Series card (81 potential art cards)

Five percent of the time, rather than a normal art card, you'll get one with a gold-stamped signature of the artist. Every art card exists in both its normal version and its signature version.
