Magic: The Gathering Commander Legends Global Launch Date Delayed


Wizards of the Coast has announced that due to the production challenges related to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, they're pushing back the full global launch of Commander Legends to November 20, 2020, just a few weeks after its original Nov. 6 launch date.

The delay affects all Commander Legends products: Draft Boosters, Collector Boosters, and Commander Decks. Prerelease events will start November 13 (Prerelease promos will have the previous date printed on them. In regions where in-store play is paused, organizers may host at-home and remote Prereleases only). Previews for the set will begin on October 26.

"We continue to adapt to a world transformed, and we appreciate your continued patience as we manage these new challenges. We plan to deliver our products as soon as it is both feasible and safe, and we will continue to prioritize the health and safety of our employees and partners."

Commander Legends is the first-ever Commander set designed to be drafted.
