March of the Machine Commander in Magic: The Gathering

March of the Machine Commander delivers five ready-to-play preconstructed decks for Magic: The Gathering’s Commander format, each exploring the Phyrexian Multiverse invasion with new legendary creatures, mechanics, and Planechase integration. Released April 21, 2023 alongside the main set, these 100-card decks include reprints, ten Planechase cards, and a planar die per box for chaotic multiplayer sessions. Commander players should care because they provide immediate, thematic entry points with upgrade paths, letting you pilot invasion-themed strategies right out of the box or customize for your preferred table dynamic.

Growing Threat

Growing Threat is a white-black (Orzhov) deck in March of the Machine Commander led by face commander Brimaz, Blight of Oreskos. It focuses on Phyrexian tribal and Incubate tokens that transform into artifact creature tokens with Phyrexian creature types. Casting Phyrexian or artifact spells creates Incubate tokens scaled to mana value, while dying Phyrexians trigger proliferate. At the table it plays as aggressive token swarm combat that grows overwhelming threats and can pressure opponents with poison counters, rewarding players who enjoy building an ever-strengthening invasion force.

Cavalry Charge

Cavalry Charge is a white-blue-black (Esper) Knight tribal deck in March of the Machine Commander commanded by Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir. Sidar’s eminence ability lets you draw and discard whenever one or more Knights attack, even while he remains in the command zone. The strategy revolves around swarming the board with cheap, synergistic Knights that support one another in combat. Expect a combat-focused aggro playstyle that maintains card flow through attacks and uses recursion to rebuild after wipes, ideal for players who want consistent pressure and Knight-themed synergy.

Divine Convocation

Divine Convocation is a blue-red-white (Jeskai) deck in March of the Machine Commander fronted by Kasla, the Broken Halo. It centers on the convoke mechanic, filling the board with low-cost creatures and tokens to discount and cast expensive spells. Kasla herself offers convoke cost reduction, vigilance, and card selection. The deck plays as a go-wide value engine that transitions into powerful spell resolution or combat finishes, suiting pilots who enjoy creature-based ramp for big plays and the satisfaction of turning a crowded board into overwhelming advantage.

Call for Backup

Call for Backup is a red-green-white (Naya) +1/+1 counters deck in March of the Machine Commander led by Bright-Palm, Soul Awakener. The strategy leverages the Backup mechanic to grant abilities and +1/+1 counters as creatures enter, with Bright-Palm doubling counters on attacking creatures and preventing low-power blocks. It functions as a combat-focused beatdown archetype that rapidly scales individual threats into unblockable monsters. Players who like explosive creature growth and supportive value engines will find it straightforward to pilot and highly rewarding in multiplayer brawls.

Tinker Time

Tinker Time is a green-blue-red (Temur) artifact deck in March of the Machine Commander commanded by Gimbal, Gremlin Prodigy. It rewards creating artifact tokens of different names, generating large Gremlin artifact creature tokens with trample that grow based on your unique tchotchkes. The core archetype is artifact token synergy and value engines that convert variety into overwhelming board presence. At the table it plays as a midrange builder that rewards patient setup before trampling through with hefty artifact creatures, appealing to players who enjoy artifact creativity and incremental engine building.
