![]() While expecting a mana base of fetch lands and shock lands in a $40 precon deck isn't reasonable, the current mana bases don't really offer very much value to players picking up the decks. If we looked at just the value of reprinted lands, the Abzan Keyword deck would move from second place in our ranking to down near Sultai Mutate at the bottom of the list. Meanwhile, the value of the Abzan Keyword land slot is inflated by Nesting Grounds-the only new land of note in Commander 2020-which is currently close to $7. ![]() In terms of land value, Mardu Humans is the clear winner, mostly because along with a bunch of random dual lands in the $1–2 range, it also got the $5 Path of Ancestry (which is a solid reprint and a very playable land in Commander). While it is nice that every deck comes with Command Tower and Exotic Orchard, they have been reprinted so many times that they aren't that hard for players to obtain at this point. Only lands worth at least $1 are shown in the price calculation above, which leaves the Sultai Mutate deck with very close to no value from the land slot. Sadly, the lands in Commander 2020 aren't all that inspiring. As such, even if you tear apart your Commander 2020 precon to build other decks, if the deck came with decent lands, you'll find a place to put them to use. Lands are some of the most important cards in a Commander collection because they form the foundation of every Commander deck you'll build and play. Here, Kalamax, the Stormsire and Gavi, Nest Warden top the list, with Otrimi, the Ever-Playful lagging far behind. To try to keep our rankings as objective as possible, the way we are ranking the face commander from Commander 2020 is based on how many decks MTGGoldfish users have submitted featuring each commander since the set was fully previewed. As you can see, there is about a $50 range in prices, with Abzan Keywords at the bottom (mostly because it has the least valuable of the new "free if you have your Commander" cycle), while Jeskai Cycling is at the top for the exact opposite reason: Fierce Guardianship is currently around $40 on TCGplayer. More important is how the decks compare to each other. $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 C20-Most Value Rankįirst off, don't pay too much attention to the actual numbers lists-thanks to the pandemic messing with preorders and the supply of Commander 2020, the numbers are still very inflated and will drop a lot once the set finally hits the market en masse. Take a gander at the decklists, and then we'll jump into the rankings! Then, after going through all 10 categories, we can tally up the scores and see which Commander 2020 deck really is the best! Oh yeah, one last thing: for the rest of the article, rather than calling the decks by their proper names, we'll be going with their themes and color combinations, which are shorter and easier to type (as a refresher, Sultai Mutate is the Enhanced Evolution deck, headed by Otrimi, the Ever-Playful Abzan Keywords is Symbiotic Swarm, with Kathril, Aspect Warper as its leader Jeskai Cycling refers to Timeless Wisdom and Gavi, Nest Warden Temur Spells is the Arcane Maelstrom deck, with Kalamax, the Stormsire at the helm and finally, Mardu Humans is Ruthless Regiment, with Jirina Kudro as the face commander). A first-place ranking gives a deck five points, with second in a category being worth four, third three, fourth two, and last just a single point. Instead, we'll turn to 10 categories and rank each Commander 2020 deck from first to worst. If you only have $40 in your Magic budget, which deck should you buy? For this, we'll try to be as objective as possible-while the cycling deck is my personal favorite since it draws a lot oWf cards, drawing a lot of cards isn't a very good criterion for ranking the decks. While everyone could just buy every Commander 2020 deck in Magical Christmas Land, considering that the decks are selling for around $40, not everyone has the extra money lying around to spend on cardboard, no matter how sweet the decks may be. Today, we're trying to figure out one thing: which Commander 2020 deck is best! Commander 2020's uniqueness, however, is a story for another time. In some ways, Commander 2020 is the most unique Commander release yet, being the first group of Commander precons tied to a specific set (in this case, Ikoria) and having five decks when last year only had four. We got the full spoiler and complete decklists for Commander 2020 last week, and the lists are overflowing with sweet new cards and spicy legends to use in the command zone.
