FAQs
What is Commander and how is it different from other Magic formats?
Commander is a multiplayer format where each player has a 'Commander' – a legendary creature that can be cast from the 'command zone'. It's typically played with 4 players and uses singleton (one copy of each card, except basic lands) 100-card decks. The goal is to be the last player standing.
Can I play the foil borderless cards as regular cards?
Yes, the foil borderless cards are playable as regular cards in any Magic: The Gathering format that allows them. They are specifically designated as potential commanders for this deck.
How many cards are in the Silverquill Influence Commander Deck?
The deck contains 100 cards, including two legendary creatures designated as potential commanders, and typically includes double-sided token cards.
What does 'goad' mean?
When a creature is goaded, its controller must attack with it on their next turn if able, and they must choose a player other than you as the target of the attack. This forces opponents to attack each other.
How do I handle the 'commander tax'?
The commander tax is an additional cost of {2} generic mana that increases every time you cast your commander from the command zone after the first time. This tax remains on the commander even if it returns to the command zone.
Does this deck include lands?
Yes, Commander decks are designed to be playable out of the box and include a full mana base, which consists of lands necessary to cast the spells within the deck.
What are the double-sided token cards for?
The double-sided token cards represent creature tokens or other game elements that certain cards in your deck can create during gameplay. You can use these to track which tokens are in play.
Troubleshooting
Commander card is not in the deck.
Ensure you have correctly identified the two designated commander cards from the deck's contents. If a card is physically missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer for assistance.
Difficulty understanding card interactions.
Refer to the included strategy guide for basic explanations. For complex interactions, consult the official Magic: The Gathering Comprehensive Rules or online resources for clarification.
Opponents are attacking me directly despite my enchantments.
Review your enchantment effects and timing. Some effects might not apply if an opponent has a stronger immediate threat or if they have ways to bypass your enchantments. Adjust your board presence and political negotiation.
Running out of cards in hand too quickly.
Prioritize playing card draw spells and permanents that generate card advantage. Be selective about which spells you cast, ensuring you are getting maximum value from each one, especially in the early game.
