Our current focus
This first edition covers Mystery Booster Commander Edition. We explain the October 19, 2026 update bulletin, relevant earlier corrections, Commander Draft exceptions, and the current product schedule.
How we work
- Use official Wizards of the Coast articles as primary sources.
- Separate functional changes, clarifications, and earlier Oracle corrections.
- Keep MBC Draft exceptions distinct from general Commander rules.
- Show the date content was checked; do not imply continuous live verification.
Corrections and conflicting text
This site is an explanatory aid. If our summary differs from current Comprehensive Rules, Oracle text, or an event organizer’s rules, use the applicable official source. Each guide links its references so you can verify it directly.
For this edition, the updated product overview is our source for legality dates. Older release notes remain useful for mechanics and individual card rulings.

Maintenance and revisions
Maintained by MTG Rule Changes. Our editorial contact accepts source-backed corrections. A checked date means a review on that date, not continuous live verification.
