Commander Legends, released on November 20, 2020, was the first Magic: The Gathering set designed specifically for drafting the Commander format. It combined the multiplayer excitement of Commander with the strategic depth of Limited, introducing a new way to experience the format through booster packs. The set introduced new mechanics like encore and partner (returning), and featured a massive roster of legendary creatures—over 70 in total—including Jeweled Lotus, Hullbreacher, Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait, and Opposition Agent. With both collectible value and gameplay depth, Commander Legends was a landmark release that expanded the boundaries of what a Commander set could be.
