Wizards · Commander / EDH

Wizard Commander Decks

After Humans, the biggest tribe in the game — and the only large one that plays like a spellslinger deck rather than a creature deck. Wizards care about instants and sorceries more than about combat.

Ready-built list

Wizard Spellslinger — Cheaper Every Cast

Reduce the cost of instant and sorcery spells while utilizing Wizard synergies to draw cards, control the board, and finish the game with token swarms or spellslinger win conditions.

Commanders that care about wizards

Legendary wizards whose rules text actually names the creature type — these reward building around the tribe, rather than just belonging to it. Ordered by current market price, which is the closest thing to a popularity signal we can honestly compute.

The wizard support package

Cards that are not wizards themselves but name them in their rules text — the lords, anthems, tutors and payoffs that turn a pile of creatures into a deck. 79 of them are legal in Commander.
