MTG: Best Commanders Reprinted In Double Masters 2022

The popularity of the Commander format in Magic: The Gathering means that even when a set is not entirely devoted to it like the recent Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate releases, players will still pick through the legendary creatures to see who they can tap to lead their new decks. In the case of Double Masters 2022, Commander players were not disappointed. The wide variety of legends offered in the set means that no matter what playstyle someone may have, there is likely a commander for them in the set.

Magic: The Gathering's Commander format works by first picking a card to serve as the «commander» of a deck. This card will be a legendary creature and will determine the colors available to pick from in the deck. This and many other features make it one of the best Magic: The Gathering formats for new players. Once the commander is picked, players then build a 99-card deck of individual cards (excluding basic lands) around that commander that synergizes well with their abilities. Four players then battle each other in a four-way fight to be the last one standing.

The best commanders from the set have a wide variety of abilities that synergize well both within and without the set.
