# Commander 2016 Commander 2016 represents Wizards of the Coast's fourth iteration of the annual Commander-focused product line, released in November 2016. The set comprises 300 unique cards distributed across five preconstructed decks, each featuring a new legendary creature designed as a primary commander option. This release marked a significant shift in the Commander product's design philosophy, introducing partner mechanics that allowed players to select two legendary creatures as co-commanders, fundamentally expanding deck-building possibilities. The set's most impactful cards include Atraxa, Praetors' Voice, which became a format staple for proliferate-based strategies, and the partner pair Tymna the Weaver and Thrasios, Triton Hero, which established one of the format's most competitive and resilient archetypes. Burgeoning provided ramp acceleration that influenced green-based strategies significantly. Breath of Fury emerged as a powerful combat-focused card with combo potential. These cards collectively shaped Commander metagame development for years following release, establishing precedents for future design iterations.
A great Magic catalog page needs to explain finish splits, print treatments, and why the set still matters across formats.
