Commander 2019, released on August 23, 2019, featured four preconstructed 100-card decks, each built around a unique mechanical theme rather than color pairings or tribal identity. The decks explored strategies like morph, flashback, populate, and madness, offering a fresh twist on established Commander archetypes. New legendary creatures such as Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer, Sevinne, the Chronoclasm, Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero, and Anje Falkenrath led these thematic builds. With 59 brand-new cards and numerous synergistic reprints, Commander 2019 delivered innovative gameplay and flavorful support for underexplored mechanics in the format.
