Spirit typal with graveyard recursion. Dig up ancient history, flash back instants and sorceries, and turn each cast into a Spirit token swarm.
Five colleges. Five new Commander precons. Releases April 24, 2026.
Secrets of Strixhaven returns to Arcavios on April 24, 2026, with five new college-themed Commander precons — one for each Strixhaven school. Each precon is led by a returning student now grown into a master, with a fresh strategy that builds on the original Strixhaven mechanics: spellslinger, magecraft, lessons, and learn.
Below you'll find every face commander deep-linked into Playgroup's stats pages — playrate, win rate, ELO, average game length — and every precon has a one-click Playtest in Playgroup Live button that drops you into a pickup game with the decklist already imported. No login dance, no copy-paste.
Set codes on Scryfall: SOS (main set, 368 cards), SOC (Commander precons, 426 cards), SOA (Mystical Archive bonus sheet, 195 cards).
Spirit typal with graveyard recursion. Dig up ancient history, flash back instants and sorceries, and turn each cast into a Spirit token swarm.
Big spells and Elemental tokens. Copy your most expensive instants and sorceries, then flood the board with art-fueled Elementals.
Big mana and +1/+1 counters. Ramp aggressively, draw on every land drop, and overwhelm the table with fractal tokens that double in size.
Aristocrats and life drain. Sacrifice tokens for triggered drains, gain back what you lose, and slowly bleed every opponent at once.
Auras and goad control. Suit up a single threat with cheap auras, push it through with goad, and turn the table on itself.
