Challenger Decks — Magic‘s line of preconstructed Standard decks — are back for 2021! While tabletop organized play is on pause due to COVID-19, you can still battle with these ready-to-play decks at home with family and friends.
Each Challenger Deck includes a 60-card deck and 15-card sideboard, plus a storage box and five double-sided tokens. All four decks are modeled after competitive Standard decks and are designed to be playable right out of the box.
Challenger Decks hit game stores on April 2, 2021, and you can preorder them now from Card Kingdom.
Wizards of the Coast’s Gavin Verhey gave us a look inside the new decks on his YouTube series, Good Morning Magic. Check out the video below, and get full decklists after the jump.
