Four-Color Commanders in Magic: The Gathering Commander 2016

Magic: The Gathering's Commander 2016 released November 11, 2016 with four ready-to-play preconstructed decks, each built around a new four-color legendary creature commander. Commander players should care because these decks arrive fully assembled with exciting new cards, strong reprints, and clear upgrade paths, letting you sit down for multiplayer games right out of the box while exploring proliferate counters, cascade spells, focused aggression, or political group-hug strategies.

Breed Lethality

Breed Lethality is led by its face commander Atraxa, Praetors' Voice in a white-blue-black-green color identity. The deck focuses on proliferate, +1/+1 counters, and planeswalkers, with Atraxa multiplying counters across the board each upkeep. At the table it plays as a value engine and control-oriented strategy that grows threats incrementally while generating card advantage and loyalty abilities. Expect to pilot a patient midrange deck that outvalues opponents over time through persistent board growth and interaction, making it a great pick if you enjoy four-color decks that feel rewarding and dominant in long multiplayer sessions.

Entropic Uprising

Entropic Uprising is led by its face commander Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder in a blue-black-red-green color identity. The deck emphasizes cascade and high-mana-value spells, with Yidris triggering additional cascades on combat damage. At the table it plays as a spellslinger combo-value strategy that chains big spells into explosive turns and board wipes. Expect to pilot a high-variance midrange deck that rewards building a critical mass of expensive spells and using cascade for unpredictable advantage, making it ideal if you like Grixis-plus-green decks that feel chaotic and powerful in casual Commander.

Open Hostility

Open Hostility is led by its face commander Saskia the Unyielding in a white-black-red-green color identity. The deck is built around aggressive combat and focused attacks, with Saskia granting your creatures +1/+1 and extra power when they attack the chosen opponent. At the table it plays as a combat-focused aggro strategy that picks one target and overwhelms them with coordinated swings. Expect to pilot a direct, punishing midrange deck that rewards building a wide board and directing damage efficiently, making it a strong choice if you enjoy Naya-plus-black decks that feel fast and confrontational in multiplayer.

Stalwart Unity

Stalwart Unity is led by its face commander Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis in a white-blue-red-green color identity. The deck focuses on group hug, political ramp, and multiplayer politics, with Kynaios and Tiro drawing cards and giving extra lands to all players. At the table it plays as a political value engine that accelerates the whole table while setting up your own superior board or combos. Expect to pilot a friendly yet controlling midrange deck that rewards social interaction and using shared resources to pull ahead, making it ideal for players who enjoy four-color decks that feel collaborative and strategically deep in casual Commander games.
