Avatar: The Last Airbender Preview Cards! | 707

From the format’s inception, color identity has been a core part of Commander, creating deck diversity by forcing players to work within restrictions. But should those limits be loosened for hybrid mana? In most formats, hybrid mana makes cards more versatile, but in Commander it actually holds them back. Lately, the Commander Format Panel has floated changing how hybrid mana works with color identity. Would this help the game, or hurt it? Don’t miss our in-depth breakdown.

The New, NEW Commander Brackets | 705

Want some high-impact, low-cost cards that you can run in ANY deck? You’ve come to the right place! 

It’s time for another 10 for $10, where we bring you 10 cards you can pick up for a grand total of $10. This time, all those cards are colorless! But just because they don’t have any color doesn’t mean they won’t have a huge impact on the board. So come on in and bring a crisp 10 dollar bill!
