Magic: The Gathering's Commander format provides players a plethora of card options for decks. However, cards are not the only things players need to play Commander. Many Commander-playable cards produce tokens in the form of 1/1 white Soldier creatures, Treasure, and other things. Moreover, players need physical tokens to maintain a board state. How else will you know how many 1/1 green Elves are under your control?
​
In my recent Commander's Herald article, 10 Surprisingly Expensive Commander Tokens, I cover some of the most expensive tokens necessary for Commander. Believe it or not, limited supply and player demand can drive the price of physical tokens to more than a Play Booster. Read the article to see if any of your favorite tokens are worthy a few dollars each.

There are a ton of nonbasic lands in Magic: The Gathering, but not all are created equal. Colorless utility lands are a subset of nonbasic lands that may be played in any Commander deck. Cards like Karn's Bastion and Inventors' Fair are useful lands found in many decks.

In my recent article, ​7 Colorless Utility Lands Every Commander Player Should Own, I cover seven colorless utility lands every Commander player needs for their collection. The highlighted lands are practical, helpful, and effective. I recommend reading the article and thinking about which Commander decks you could slot one or more of the discussed cards.

Longtime players of Magic: The Gathering may recall the early days of its infancy. In the 1990s, rules, mechanics, and gameplay were much different than they are today. Legends and Antiquities are two themed expansion sets from the mid-1990s with a wide range of design choices and playability.

Thankfully, some nostalgic cards from MTG's past still see play in the Commander format. My latest Commander's Herald article, The Nostalgia of Commander, covers several nostalgic and playable cards with more recent reprintings. If you have an interest in playing cards printed over twenty-five years ago that can help you win a game, take a look at the article.

The start of a new year often comes with a slew of resolutions and proposed changes. It also marks the opportunity to try something new or different. Magic: The Gathering's Commander players have the chance to build a new deck, swap cards in existing decks, and add cards to their collection. 

Now is an excellent time for Commander players to try several new Gruul cards in 2025. Wizards of the Coast released many Commander playable Gruul cards over the past 12 months, including Peer Past the Veil and Wildsear, Scouring Maw. My recent Commander's Herald article, 6 Commander Cards to Gruul in the New Year, highlights the aforementioned cards and other RG cards for Commander. Read the article to learn more about why Gruul is the guild to play in 2025.
