Exclusive: Wizards of the Coast Wants Reprints of Magic’s Foundations Commander Decks, Sees It as an “Evergreen” Product

Magic’s new sets are great, but one of the most impressive (and surprising) products of the year has been the Foundations Commander decks.

The five mono-colored preconstructed offerings have just started to sneak back down closer to MSRP, but with markups across the board and some (usually the mono-green Tramplesaurus Rex deck) still hard to find, we reached out to Wizards of the Coast to confirm what the state of play with additional printings would be.

Brandon Kreines, game producer on Magic: The Gathering at Wizards of the Coast, had good news for fans looking to grab each of the precons.

“The new Foundations Commander Decks are definitely intended to be an evergreen offering,” Kreines explained.

“We can’t commit to specifics, but if players are as excited about these decks as we are, they should expect to see them get reprinted so they can be used as an introduction point into Commander.”

That’s good news for just about everyone. After all, if you want to get into Commander, you’ll want to do it for MSRP where possible, and while some decks have been marked up to over double what they should cost, more printings will mean a drop in price.

It’s also worth considering that there are no new cards in any of these decks. As a starter product, they offer a cohesive game plan in your color choice, but the more they’re printed, the more resellers will need to look elsewhere for their margins.

As we said back when these were announced, Starter Decks for Commander are not a new notion, but they’ve not been printed in so long that those ones climbed in price in the years since. If a reprint is coming, then we can likely expect more new players to the hobby which, in turn, benefits all of us.
