Complete list of Game Changers in the Commander Brackets in Magic The Gathering

The introduction of the Commander’s Bracket in Magic: The Gathering will change the way the format has worked so far, and the first list of Game Changers is also available.

Five brackets have been introduced, geared towards both competitive and casual play. Before we deep dive into the list of Game Changers, it’s important to understand how the brackets will work. While it won’t be necessary to use the bracket system, it will be perfect for those players who have been asking for a change.

All Commander Brackets in Magic: The Gathering

Despite being in the beta stage, there will be five different brackets. Bracket 1 will have the easiest set of rules, while Bracket 5 will be great for competitive play.

If the term isn’t indicative enough, Game Changers includes the big cards that will be part of the competitive Commander decks. They will have the potential to completely change the tide of a battle if played right (hence the name, I suppose), and 40 of them have been officially confirmed (spread across seven different colors).
