The strategy guide insert would have been a perfect way to link players to a dice roller app, be it third-party or included on a Wizards of the Coast- sanctioned application such as Magic: The Gathering's Companion app, which at present does not utilize a dice roller function. The only gripe we have about this setup is that many of the cards in this deck reference rolling dice from out of a polyhedral dice set, and none are included. This is quite helpful.Īs to the other contents of the box, they include the 100-card deck (with tokens and a thicker stand-in of the main commander Prosper, Tome-Bound included), a deck box, a cardboard life-counter, and a small strategy guide on how to play 'Planar Portal' directly out of the box. As such, when we open the box, using the easy-open tab on the bottom, inside is a fair amount of cardboard but with perforations with which to remove circular counters and a deck divider for ease of differentiation in your deck. Wizards of the Coast has clearly been making a push to use more eco-friendly packaging with these precons, as since Strixhaven this has been the form of packaging they have their hearts set on using. Here's what we think of the deck in just a bit more detail! The front of the box containing 'Planar Portal', the Commander deck coinciding with Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, an expansion set for Magic: The Gathering. So, having gotten ahold of the 'Planar Portal' preconstructed deck from the Commander decks coinciding with the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms expansion set, we can safely say that this is one of the most coherent decks they've made for the format. We've ultimately been playing this format for even longer than its official recognition by Wizards of the Coast. Anyone who has read our articles knows that Commander is our favorite format by miles. Wizards of the Coast has made something quite special, but, with some degree of collaboration with its player base, they've made something even better in the form of the Commander format.

Magic: The Gathering is a wonderful card game.
