Four Murders at Karlov Manor Commander Decks are released together with Murders at Karlov Manor on February 9th, 2024.[2][3]

Description[ | ]

Each deck introduces 45 never-before-seen Commander cards to Magic: The Gathering. Ransom Note has four different art variants.

Murders at Karlov Manor Commander cards with the MKC set code and numbered #1–48 (and their alternate versions numbered #312–358) are permitted in the Commander, Legacy, and Vintage formats. Cards with the MKC set code numbered 53–311 are legal for play in any format where a card with the same name is permitted.

Several reprints in the Commander decks have new art, suited to Ravnica: Comeuppance, Necromancy, Twilight Prophet, Brash Taunter, Spectacular Showdown (originally from the D&D crossover set Battle for Baldur's Gate) and Vengeful Ancestor (originally from Forgotten Realms Commander.
