Wizards of the Coast, creators of their premier trading card video game Magic: The Gathering, exposed some new info for a much-anticipated set today at CommandFest, a tournament-slash-convention that is being held online this weekend due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Commander Legends, a new set with the objective of preparing Commander decks (or possibly Commander-style decks), will feature precisely 71 new Legendary Creatures and be packaged in twenty-card booster packs. Lets go over the exposes!

Illustrated by Seb McKinnon.First off, Gavin Verhey had actually been teasing us with a new version of Baron Sengir, the Ulgrothan vampire lord from the much-maligned Homelands expansion. Homelands was known to have definitely awful cards and was overprinted, but the Baron was a major force in the set as one of the cards that people would clamor over. As a 5/5 for eight mana with definitely no other drawback and the tendency to get a lot larger than simply a 5/5, the Baron was a huge deal then, and with the advent of Commander Legends, is a big offer now. Lets take a look at what Gavin exposed!
Sengir, the Dark Baron, a new card from Commander Legends, an upcoming expansion for Magic: The Gathering.Wait, Partner? Yes, Partner! It appears that Wizards of the Coast has actually found some way to make Partner not as broken as it typically has actually been in previous years with the inclusion of monocolored partners. There are a lot of them in this set. Here are another 2!

Other names include Undergrowth Stadium (in black and green), Rejuvenating Springs (green and blue), Training Center (blue and red), and Spectator Seating (red and white). Those looking to maximize their mana output in multiplayer games can rejoice at this completionism!
Lastly, but certainly not least on our list, we have The Prismatic Piper itself. Now, since the relatively-fresh Magic: The Gathering artist Seb McKinnon revealed his art for this card, there has actually been some wild speculation over what it does. Well, Im quite sure that every one of those guesses had actually been switched on its head from the top of this short article. Here it is!
