MTG Aetherdrift is on the way and coming with it are some incredible cards, not to mention Commander precons. We know that there will be four, as that’s the tradition these days. As they get revealed, we’ll update this article with complete decklists as well. Wizards of the Coast has also confirmed that in each of these 100-card decks, 10 will be new-to-Magic, which sounds interesting. We’ll have to see how these decks shake out.
The only decks revealed so far are Living Energy (Green/Blue/Red) and Eternal Might (White/Blue/Black). Both of these look strong, with some interesting commanders to go in the MTG Aetherdrift precons. Wizards even revealed two of the potential commanders to be available in these decks. Here’s what we know so far about these precon decks.
Note: We will update this as the other precons are revealed.

All revealed Commander precons available for the MTG Aetherdrift expansion
The following decks have been revealed so far:
- Living Energy (RUG)
- Eternal Might (WUB)
Each of the Commander precons for MTG Aetherdrift comes with a 100-card deck containing one traditional foil face and one traditional foil-featured commander — both with borderless art. They also come with the following items:
- 10 Double-sided tokens
- 1 Collector Booster Sample Pack
- 1 Reference card
- 1 Deck box
1) Living Energy (RUG)
Living Energy is a fascinating Commander precon for MTG Aetherdrift. The commanders are Saheeli, Radiant Creator, and Pia Nalaar, Chief Mechanic. Saheeli grants Energy when you cast Artificers/artifact spells, which is nice. You can then pay 3 energy during your combat, to create a token that’s a copy of the target permanent you control, except it’s now a 5/5 artifact creature.
You have to sacrifice it at the end of the turn, but it also gets Haste. I really love the potential in that. Pia Nalaar grants 2 energy when your artifact creatures deal combat damage. You can then pay 1 or more energy during your end step to make an X/X colorless Vehicle artifact token named Nalaar Aetherjet. It has Flying/Crew 2, and the X is the amount of energy spent. There are a lot of fun potential combos you could set up in this MTG Aetherdrift Commander precon.

2) Eternal Might (WUB)
White/Blue/Black (Esper) is my favorite way to play MTG, and Aetherdrift didn’t disappoint with the Eternal Might Commander precon. Interestingly enough, while it shows two legendaries for the deck, one of them, Hashaton, Scarab’s Fist is White/Black only, so it really can’t be the deckleader without some significant changes to the deck. Wizards of the Coast still featured it as an important part of the deck, so we’ll still discuss it.
Hashaton, Scarab’s Fist does use Blue in its text, though. Whenever you discard a creature card, you can pay 2U, and if you do, create a tapped token that’s a copy of that card, except it’s a 4/4 black Zombie. That is an incredibly useful ability, especially when you factor in how easily decks like this can trigger discard effects.
Temmet, Naktamun’s Will has Vigilance/Menace, and whenever you attack, draw a card, then discard a card. That leads neatly into Hashaton. Additionally, whenever you draw a card, the Zombies you control get +1/+1 until the end of the turn. This deck likely also drowns in card draw, so you can make some impressive combat turns, if you should wish thanks to this MTG Aetherdrift Commander precon.
