I wonder if they'll still stick 3 commanders in each, like earlier years, or just two new ones and a reprint of the Nephs.

Wouldn't it be awful if the new commanders didn't fit your take on 4-color though?

I think I'd like that idea to build around. Take the greatest strength of a color, and make it the weakness of the 4-color.
Not-{U}: draw
Not-{W}: mass removal
Not-{G}: big creatures
Not-{R}: swarms & direct damage
Not-{B}: life drain ?

Just saw this content on the boxes pass by on Twitter:
- 100 card deck
- one oversized commander
- 10 double sided tokens
- Box
- strategy insert
- 15 new cards
Not that unusual, but the kicker:
- 4 FOIL legendary commander cards.

So that's 20 new four-color commanders coming up.

I strongly believe that they will be making a legendary that focuses on each color..for each pack . Like  a not green that focuses on the black aspect .. a not green that focuses on the blue and so on...   

Or they legendary the nephalim, make a  new 4 color, and alternative 4 color and a new 3 color. Not-G would make the best artifact commander ever... so we may see a great 3 color red blue white artifact commander
Assuming the content list is correct, 4 commanders means all 4-color ones. Else it couldn't be the commander of your precon.

Actually I mean BUG white. Flipped the two words by mistake. Till there a a real WotC name for each 4 color set I will use the term I like. And not-*color* just sounds lame to me

Oooo I love the partner mechanic. I was wondering how they were gonna make commanders other then the one 4color to lead the new decks.

Post by: redwolv on October 24, 2016, 01:20:22 PM
Here are the deck Themes.

WHITE-BLUE-BLACK-RED (WUBR) "ARTIFICE"
This is for players who want to build an intricate machine and use it to gain advantage over time.
(http://mythicspoiler.com/c16/cards/breyaetheriumshaper.jpg)

BLUE-BLACK-RED-GREEN (UBRG)
"CHAOS"
This deck is for players who prefer to "just see what happens" than to carefully plan each move.

BLACK-RED-GREEN-WHITE (BRGW) "AGGRESSION"
This deck is ideal for players who hate to durdle and prefer a play style more akin to Limited than the usual Commander fare.
(http://mythicspoiler.com/c16/cards/saskiatheunyielding.jpg)


RED-GREEN-WHITE-BLUE (RGWU) "ALTRUISM"
this deck wants everyone at the table to have a good time and is eager to see what everyone's deck can do.
(http://mythicspoiler.com/c16/cards/kynaiosandtiroofmeletis.jpg)

GREEN-WHITE-BLUE-BLACK (GWUB) "GROWTH"
This deck is for every player who is thrilled at the idea of a 64/64 Hydra.

Omg, BRGW commander is wicked.

Saskia the unyielding {B}{R}{G}{W}
Legendary creature - human soldier.

Vigilance, Haste

As ~ enters the battlefield, choose a player.

Whenever a creature you controls deals combat damage to a player, it deals that much damage to the chosen player.

3/4

going to add the 4color commanders to my deck description as they are spoiled.

Post by: redwolv on October 26, 2016, 01:05:50 PM
Altruism commander spoiled, updated the deck list on page 2 with their card. But will post here too. Only one left is the chaos commander.

I want to cascade into {Maelstrom Wanderer} so badly. Or cast it after dealing combat damage. With {possibility storm} on the board. The triggers.
Non-white chaos is definitely on my wishlist.
