FAQs

What is the Commander format?

Commander is a popular multiplayer format for Magic: The Gathering where each player chooses a legendary creature as their 'Commander'. Players then construct a 100-card deck (including the Commander, with no duplicate cards except basic lands) that adheres to the color identity of their Commander. The game is typically played with three or more players.

What does 'Quandrix Unlimited' mean?

'Quandrix Unlimited' refers to the specific pre-constructed Commander deck that focuses on the Quandrix college from the Strixhaven setting, emphasizing themes of mathematics, numbers, and growth.

How many cards are in the deck?

The deck contains 100 cards, including two foil borderless legendary creatures and 98 other cards (96 nonfoil and 2 traditional foil borderless legendary cards).

Does this deck include token cards?

Yes, the deck includes 10 double-sided token cards that represent creatures or other permanents your spells might create during gameplay.

Can I upgrade this deck later?

Absolutely. This is a great starting point, and you can customize it by swapping cards to better suit your playstyle or to include more powerful options available in Magic: The Gathering.

Are the commanders traditional foil or nonfoil?

The two legendary creatures designated as commanders are Traditional Foil Borderless cards.

What is the best way to use X-spells with this deck?

The Quandrix deck is built to maximize X-spells. Focus on playing mana ramp cards early to generate more mana, and look for spells that reduce casting costs to allow you to cast your X-spells for a higher value.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty finding specific mana ramp or card draw

The deck includes several mana ramp and card draw spells. Ensure you are familiar with their effects and prioritize playing them early. Consider upgrading the deck with additional ramp (e.g., `Sol Ring`, `Talisman of Curiosity`) or draw options if needed.

X-spells feel underwhelming

X-spells require significant mana investment. Focus on playing mana ramp spells early to accelerate your mana production. Consider spells that reduce the cost of your X-spells or provide additional mana to maximize their impact.

Board gets overwhelmed by opponents

While the deck focuses on building its own threats, utilize the board wipes and removal spells included to manage opposing threats. Look for opportunities to combo off or deploy a large X-spell to regain board control.

Commanders are targeted and removed frequently

Use spells that protect your commanders or provide alternative ways to generate value. Cards that allow you to cast spells from your graveyard or benefit from spells being countered can help mitigate commander removal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

This deck is designed for the Magic: The Gathering Commander format. Simply remove the cards from the packaging. Identify your two chosen foil borderless commanders and place them in the command zone. Shuffle the remaining 98 cards to form your library. The included deck box is designed to hold all 100 cards if sleeved. For compatibility, this deck adheres to the Commander ban list and card legality rules. To care for your cards, it is highly recommended to use card sleeves to protect them from wear, tear, and accidental damage during play.

Regularly inspect cards for any damage and clean any dirt or smudges gently with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth.
