The top of the deck page is tidierFeature
The back, search and browse buttons stay on one row as you scroll, the deck tools sit together in one bar, and the deck's numbers and buttons are laid out more clearly.

What's New
Commander Nexus is in beta, which means it changes most days. Everything we ship (new features, fixes, and problems we already know about) gets written down here, in plain language.

New Secret Lair drops land when they're announcedNews
When a new Secret Lair drop is announced, it's added to the Secret Lair pages, so they're always up to date.
Take a look →27 October 2026
Deck cards in a familiar orderFeature
Grouping a deck by type now lists your commander first, then battles, planeswalkers, creatures, sorceries, instants, artifacts, enchantments and lands, the order most deck sites use. The tokens section starts open.
Send feedback from any pageFeature
The Send feedback box opens right on the page you're on, and you don't need an account. Leave an email address if you'd like a reply.
The newest Secret Lair drops on the front pageFeature
The front page shows a row of the newest Secret Lair drops that are still on sale. Sold out drops are greyed out.
Take a look →26 October 2026
Star Trek: We Are the Borg is hereNews
The We Are the Borg ready-made deck is on the site, and cards from the new Star Trek set show up in search and suggestions. Swapping in a card that isn't out yet tells you it can't be played until its release date.
Take a look →25 October 2026
A page for every Magic setFeature
Every set has its own page with the same sections in the same order: dates, decks, where to buy, cards, related sets and mechanics.
Take a look →23 October 2026
Search reads both sides of a two-faced cardFix
Searching by color, power or toughness now checks both faces of a double-faced card, and a * in power or toughness counts as 0.
Search suggestions follow your typingFix
Card suggestions match the word you're typing, and a search with no results tells you which setting to clear.
Picking a ready-made deck is clearerFeature
In the new deck steps, each ready-made deck is one big tap target with its picture, name, a short description and a Pick this deck button.
21 October 2026
Try the deck page without signing inFeature
Paste a decklist or a Moxfield, Archidekt, MTGGoldfish or Commander Template link and see the full deck page with no account. Nothing is saved until you sign in.
See the tokens a card makesFeature
Open a card and a Makes these tokens row shows each token it creates. Tap one to see it. Deck token lists include emblems too.
Keyboard shortcutsFeature
Press ? to see them. On a deck's cards, +, -, C, S and Delete work, and Shift+Enter adds a card.
A new front pageFeature
The front page has a new look, and its shop and preorder menus work better.
Take a look →Discover is easier to browseFeature
Every tab sorts newest first, the Precons tab filters by archetype and theme with a count on each choice, and decks show their colors. The community tab is now called Community Decks.
Take a look →Searching many artists at once worksFix
A search naming a long list of artists used to fail. Now it runs, and tells you if part of a search was left out. (Just in time for Atlanta!)
Phone and desktop polishFix
On phones the deck's sort row stays visible and the buttons fit one row. On desktop the undo button no longer sits on top of the deck tools.
17 October 2026
Secret Lair pagesFeature
Secret Lair has its own home, with a page for each theme, superdrop and drop, and a Secret Lair tab in Discover. Every card in a drop shows its own printing, including 338 that were missing before.
Take a look →Mana Pool and Cardmarket in Where to buyFeature
The card window's shop list now includes Mana Pool, and every card has a Cardmarket link, which helps with brand-new cards other shops haven't priced yet.
Unreleased cards say when they're outFeature
Where a price would go, a card that isn't out yet shows its release date instead, in the card window, search, deck lists and missing cards.
Commander pages show their rulingsFeature
Each commander page has a Rulings section with the official clarifications for that card.
Take a look →Keyboard and Show what I own fixesFix
Tab works on deck pages again, and owned card marks on articles are now a Show what I own button that starts off.
16 October 2026
Archetype pages teach the deck styleFeature
All 49 archetype pages explain how that kind of deck plays, how it wins, what beats it and what to know if it's your first, with three commanders to start with.
Take a look →Meld cards no longer show as commandersFix
Meld cards (two cards that join into one) and other cards that can't lead a deck now point to our guide on what can be a commander.
Take a look →15 October 2026
Your Decks works better on a phoneFix
Folders open from one Pick a folder button, each folder's actions sit in one menu, and the card count chip no longer covers the mana symbols.
Take a look →14 October 2026
Sign in, Home and Back go where you expectFix
Signing in with Google brings you back to what you were doing. Home never opens a blank page, and Back on someone else's deck goes to Discover or Precons. Escape closes the sign in window.
Imports and undo, tidied upFix
Lines we can't match are listed under Cards we couldn't match instead of blank tiles, share links no longer repeat the address, and Undo and Redo pick up where you left off after a reload.
A card's default printing is its originalFix
Never a crossover version with a different name, and the card window shows each printing's own name.
11 October 2026
Commander pages read betterFeature
Each starts with a two sentence summary, game words explain themselves on hover, and Build a deck with this commander takes you straight into Session Zero.
Take a look →10 October 2026
Articles get extras, and an RSS feedFeature
Articles have a jump list, a read next suggestion and a copy link button, and you can follow new ones by RSS.
Take a look →9 October 2026
Hub pages grouped A to ZFeature
Tags, archetypes, themes and the glossary are grouped under letters with a jump list, precons are grouped by year, and each Discover tab says in one line what it is.
Take a look →8 October 2026
Easier to use with a keyboard or screen readerFix
Card actions show when you tab to them, popups behave like proper dialogs, moving pictures can be paused, and pages fit very small phones. Discover keeps working if one of its views fails to load.
More accurate card tagsFix
Tags like Graveyard Hate, Recursion, Fast Mana and Lifegain are checked more strictly, so the role counts on a deck are closer to right.
Take a look →7 October 2026
Hover a card name to see the cardFeature
Anywhere on the site, hover a card name to see the whole card, and click it to open the card window.
Prices and imports keep workingFix
Card prices are flowing again after a gap, a big import no longer gives up quietly, and a page that breaks after a site update reloads itself once.
5 October 2026
Sign in with a passkeyFeature
A passkey lets you sign in with your phone or computer's fingerprint, face or PIN instead of a password. After you sign in another way, the site offers to set one up.
3 October 2026
Faster deck readings and phone fixesFix
Deck readings load faster, and the bell, card menu and Secret Lair pictures work better on phones.
2 October 2026
Our own pop-up windowsFix
The site's own window replaces the browser's plain pop-ups, Escape closes the card window, and deck names with unusual characters show correctly.
30 September 2026
Discover is quickerFix
Cards keep the same picture from visit to visit, which makes Discover load faster.
29 September 2026
Session Zero decks remember their commanderFix
A deck you start in Session Zero now remembers which commander you picked.
28 September 2026
Search for cards without leaving your deckFeature
Searching from your own deck opens the card library in a panel beside it. Each card you add shows up in the deck straight away, and one checkbox keeps the search to your commander's colors. Themes and archetypes now show as filters in the deck's search bar and in Session Zero, too.
Buy the cards you're missing in one goFeature
Turn on "Show what I own", then open Missing cards and pick "See the list and buy" to see every card you still need with its price. One button fills a TCGplayer cart with the whole list and another does the same at Card Kingdom. The TCGplayer button is an affiliate link, which never changes your price.
Price over time in the card windowFeature
Open a card and, under Where to buy, Price over time shows what that printing has cost in recent weeks. It fills in as more days go by. A price marked "market price" has a hover that explains what that means.
Discover opens on CommandersFeature
Discover now starts on the Commanders tab, the easiest place to begin a new deck. The other tabs are one click away.
Take a look →Decklists import more listsFix
Backgrounds stay in the command zone, a two-faced commander typed by its front name is found, names typed without accents match (Eowyn, Nazgul), and Magic Online lists with the commander under Sideboard import correctly. Card search finds names without accents too.
Themes and archetypes in every search barFeature
Every card search bar suggests themes, archetypes and search words as you type.
Cards that only exist online say soFix
A card that only exists in a digital game, like MTG Arena, now says it was never printed on paper and explains why no shop sells it, instead of listing paper shops.
Hate speech is refused when you saveNews
Anywhere you type text we keep, like deck names and notes, slurs and hate speech are refused when you save, with a note saying why.
The deck page's top bar stops covering cardsFix
The View, Group and Sort bar is shorter and solid, so it no longer hides the top row of cards or their warnings. One Redo press now brings back one change, and a deck with two copies of a card says so at the top.
27 September 2026
50 search words, like is:shocklandFeature
Search words such as is:historic, is:shockland and is:reserved all work now. The search bar suggests them as you type, a mistyped one tells you so instead of blaming your connection, and the Help page lists every one with an example card.
Take a look →25 September 2026
The deck page shows what the deck costsFeature
Open a deck and the price of the whole list is at the top. Also new: pasting "Sol Ring" with no number in front counts as one copy, Escape closes Session Zero, and the guided tours show once per visit instead of stacking up.
24 September 2026
Decks with two commanders are read properlyFix
A deck led by two commanders now shows both of them in the command zone, counts both commanders' colors, and no longer flags its own cards as the wrong color.
23 September 2026
Tap a highlighted word on your phoneFeature
Underlined game words explain themselves when you hover over them. Phones can't hover, so tapping one now opens a small card with what it means, and you stay where you were. 26 more words got a definition too, most of them with an example card picture.
Take a look →19 September 2026
Your Decks opens fasterFix
Opening Your Decks now asks for about half as much as it used to, and a slideshow that belongs on the front page no longer keeps downloading card pictures in the background.
16 September 2026
Pasting a decklist is more forgivingFix
Basic lands from different sets stay as separate printings, and lines like "*CMDR*", "1x Sol Ring" or a bare "Deck" heading are read the way you meant them. Broad card searches that used to time out now answer in under a second.
New accounts get a neutral nameFix
A new account now starts with a name like planeswalker-1234, instead of showing the start of your email address to other people.
7 September 2026
Pages load faster on a phoneFix
Every page used to download the whole icon set, about 1,400 drawings, to show the hundred or so icons the site uses. Now it only downloads the ones it needs, so pages open faster, especially on a phone.
6 September 2026
Share a deck with a friend, and let them edit itFeature
Send someone an invitation link and they can open the deck. They arrive read-only; you hand them editing when you are ready, and you can take it back at any time. While you both have it open you can see each other on the deck, and every line of its history says who made that change. Links expire on their own, and you can cancel one before it is used.
A deck open in two places stays in syncFeature
Have the same deck open on your phone and your laptop, and a change made in one shows up in the other. No reloading, no wondering which copy is right.
A wish list on your Collection pageFeature
It sits beside All Cards and No Place Yet. It shows what each card costs, what the whole list would come to, and ticks a card off once you log it as owned.
Take a look →"Copy missing cards" does more than copyFeature
It is a menu now. Copy them as text, add them to your wish list, mark them as owned straight into your collection, or drop them into another one of your decks.
Decks and collections export as a spreadsheetFeature
CSV joins the export formats that were already there, with a proper header row, so it opens straight into Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets. The other formats are unchanged.
You have a public profile pageFeature
"Built by" goes somewhere now. Your page lives at /u/ followed by your display name, and lists the decks you have chosen to make public.
Commander Nexus has a News pageFeature
A sixth button in the menu. Articles there can name a real card, set or keyword and the site links it up for you, so you can look up anything you do not recognize without leaving the page.
Take a look →A real Help pageFeature
Questions on top, answers underneath: the things people actually ask, in plain words, without hunting around the site for them.
Take a look →The front page tells you what is happeningFeature
A new band below the header counts down to the sets due out next. Articles and any Secret Lair drop on sale will appear there too, as soon as there are some.
Every card now shows its official rulingsFeature
Open any card and the Rulings section lists the official answers Wizards has published about it, in the same wording a judge would use. They refresh themselves, so they stay current without anyone typing them in.
A plain-English explainer for card rarityFeature
The card window has a "How rarity works" button. Common, uncommon, rare, mythic: what that little colored symbol means, and why it has nothing to do with how good a card is.
Pick a light or dark look, and your own accent colorFeature
Account then Appearance lets you switch between a light and a dark site, and choose the highlight color used everywhere else.
Take a look →Guided tours on every pageFeature
A "?" button in the corner of each page walks you through what is on it. The card window has its own tour covering tags, prices, what you own, rulings and switching to a different printing.
Notifications are on by default, and arrive as they happenFeature
The bell in the header tells you what has shipped. Everyone has it switched on now, including accounts made before it existed, and you can still turn it off. If you are signed in when something lands it appears on screen for a few seconds rather than waiting quietly behind the bell.
Prices now cover every printingFeature
We used to collect price information for one printing of each card. It is collected for all of them now, so switching to a different printing shows you a real price instead of a blank.
Newly spoiled cards appear within minutesFeature
A card previewed this morning used to wait about twelve hours in line behind thirty-year-old commons before we refreshed it. Cards that are not out yet now go to the front of that queue.
The site loads fasterFeature
The last two pieces of the site that were fetched from other companies' servers now come from ours, so somebody else having a slow day can no longer hold up the page.
The site fits a phone screenFix
On a phone 360 pixels wide the site was laying itself out at 480 and zooming out to compensate, which made everything small and pushed it off center. Every page has been rechecked at 320 and 360 pixels.
"A newer version is ready" was showing to everyoneFix
That bar appeared on a first visit, and every visit after it, whether or not anything had actually changed. It now shows only when there really is a new version waiting.
Two Account pages stopped being dead linksFix
Account then Appearance, and Account then Tutorials, worked when you clicked them but gave a "page not found" if you reloaded the page or sent someone the address.
Card pictures are readable againFix
The site was sometimes choosing a special-edition printing with very dark artwork, where you could barely make out the picture. It now prefers the ordinary paper printing.
The deck page stopped drawing over itselfFix
With a side panel open, a deck's title and bracket card could spill across the statistics sitting beside them.
Opening a deck link is fasterFix
Following a link straight to a deck quietly loaded that deck three times over before showing it to you. Once now.
Deck pop-ups dim the page behind themFix
Share, Export and "Who can edit this deck" now black out the deck behind them, instead of leaving a side panel painted over a third of the dialog.
Messages were appearing behind thingsFix
The small confirmation and error messages were being drawn underneath open panels and dialogs. A message telling you something had failed could be completely invisible.
Partner decks are no longer wrongly flagged as illegalFix
A deck led by two commanders may use the colors of both. We were checking against only one of them, so five of the ready-made decks carried a warning they did not deserve.
Ready-made decks start with the newest setFix
The page promised it led with the most recent release, then showed you an alphabetical list beginning at "20 Ways to Win".
Take a look →Text pages use the full width againFix
Pages such as the legal documents were shrinking to fit their own text and sitting off to the right instead of centered.
Display names are one-of-a-kind, and say soFix
Two accounts could take the same display name, which made a public profile link ambiguous. If the name you want is taken you are now told so in plain words, instead of hitting an error.
2 September 2026
Browsing no longer bounces you to Your DecksFix
Opening a commander or a ready-made deck could throw you back to your own deck list a second later.
The Cards tab loads properly againFix
Searching a large collection could time out and show nothing at all. It does not any more.
Signed out? Your Log In button is backFix
On some pages the header hid the Log In button from people who were not signed in, leaving no obvious way in.
Cut cards no longer sit under a heading that says Cards 0Fix
Cards you had removed were being grouped under a heading claiming there were none.
Drag a deck onto a folder to file itFeature
Your Decks now lets you drag a deck straight onto a folder. Long folder names are no longer chopped in half either.
The sharing label tells the truthFix
A deck can be private, unlisted, or fully public. The label was only describing two of those three states.
The footer is a real map of the siteFeature
Every section is now linked from the bottom of every page, so nothing is more than one click away.
Your own picture shows on browsing pages tooFix
The header showed a generic gray figure on the public pages even when you were signed in.
Every form field says what it is to a screen readerFeature
If you use a screen reader, each box, toggle and menu on the site now announces its own name and purpose.
A wrong web address says soFix
A mistyped or dead link used to load an empty version of the site, which looked broken. It now shows a proper page telling you it does not exist, with a way back.
Theme and tag pages show their descriptions properlyFix
Those pages were printing their formatting marks on screen instead of applying them.
Prices follow one rule everywhereFix
Different parts of the site were choosing card prices differently, so the same card could appear to cost two different amounts. There is now one rule. Tokens no longer show an empty price box either. We do not hold a price for token printings, and a box reading N/A answered nothing.
Our legal documents have been rewrittenNews
The terms, privacy policy and affiliate disclosures are in plain language, and say honestly what the site does and does not collect.
1 September 2026
Every page has its own web addressFeature
Commanders, ready-made decks, themes and tags are now proper addresses you can bookmark, share, or send to someone, instead of everything living at a single address.
