The three remaining decks are titled Chaos Incarnate (Black-Red), Draconic Destruction (Red-Green), and Token Triumph (Green-White) which have Kardur, Doomscourge; Atarka, World Render; and Emmara, Soul of the Accord as their commanders respectively. Unfortunately, that's all the information that Wizards of the Coast has provided on these decks at the meantime, although it does that more will be revealed before release. Unlike other Commander preconstructed decks, these are intended for absolute beginners, and are not tied into another set.
If you're someone who has wanted to get into Magic: The Gathering for a while or know someone who does, these decks are pretty much perfect for beginners. Commander is one of Magic's most popular formats and has you pick one legendary creature to act as a Commander and to build a deck around. Obviously, building an entire 100-card deck may be daunting for newcomers, but these newly revealed decks are pre-built and packed with a variety of cards, meaning you're ready to play a game as soon as you unbox them.
