Magic: The Gathering gets a lot of new Commander Decks each year, but it’s been a while since Wizards of the Coast printed some ‘Starter’ decks.
The last time was 2022, and those decks are getting harder to find. Thankfully, one of them can be found in Amazon’s Black Friday deals, with a whopping saving of over 50% on a deck I hold near and dear to my heart – Draconic Destruction.

This Epic Commander Deck Is $25 Right Now
Amazon is offering this Red/Green deck for just $25, a steep drop from the $53.38 MSRP – although these decks were always meant to be affordable.
But, because they haven’t been printed for a while, and because this one is actually a pretty cohesive preconstructed offering, it’s hard to find new.
Draconic Destruction, as the name suggests, is all about Dragon cards, and it’s a great deck for players who want to cast big dragons and through an army of them at their opponents.
It’s a deck that plays fantastically out of the box, but can be pretty swiftly upgraded, too. Its Commander, Atarka, World Render, is super cheap these days to buy on its own, but its ability to give your dragons double-strike (when they’re already flying) is a potential game-ender.
This was actually my first Commander deck, so I have fond memories of playing my first games in the format with it, and that makes it a shame its hard to find nowadays. With this deal, though, it’s an easy one to recommend.
