The full list of MTG products for the release of Lost Caverns of Ixalan (LCI) was put on display today at MagicCon. Scheduled to globally launch on Nov. 17, the Standard-legal set will contain Draft, set, and collector boosters. Two bundles are also offered and there are four Commander Precon decks, with each built around a specific theme.

Unlike Wilds of Eldraine, which had only two Commander preconstructed decks, the LCI set will have four. Each has its own theme, from vampires to dinosaurs. And each LCI Commander Precon comes with one collector booster sample pack and two Legendary traditional foils.

Many moons have passed since WotC dropped a Pirate typal Commander Precon and the wait is over through Ahoy Mateys. It’s a three-color deck in Blue, Black, and Red that uses graveyard synergies to keep a steady flow of your pirates coming back to life. 


Players can look forward to cracking open the Lost Caverns of Ixalan Commander Precon decks in November.
