Setup, Compatibility & Care
This deck is designed for the Commander (EDH) format and is compatible with any standard Magic: The Gathering deck. To maintain the longevity of your cards, it is highly recommended to sleeve the 100-card deck using professional-grade matte sleeves to protect the borders from fraying during shuffling. Store the deck in a dedicated deck box to prevent moisture damage or bending. Before your first session, verify the card list against your local format ban list, though this deck is entirely legal for standard Commander play.
