A couple major things have happened in the Magic world since our last quarterly update in April:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On May 13, Wizards of the Coast banned all cards that bring a sticker or attraction into the game from all tournament formats in which they were previously legal. This action did not ban stickers or attractions in Commander, and we\u2019d like to reaffirm their legality here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Modern Horizons also brought us Nadu, Winged Wisdom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>Nadu has become synonymous with drawn-out, non-deterministic turns that may or may not end the game. In a lot of ways, this card resembles Paradox Engine, but it remains to be seen whether Nadu\u2019s impact on the format will rise to that level. We\u2019ll be closely monitoring Nadu (and the online conversations about it) to see if it self-selects to tables and pods that are prepared to deal with it. If you want to share your experiences playing with or against Nadu, reach out to folks on the Commander Advisory Group or hop into our Discord and join the discussion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
No cards are being banned or unbanned in Commander at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No changes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last month, inspired by the Sticker and Attraction changes in other formats, we started a project that\u2019s focused entirely on Silver-Bordered cards. This includes UN-set cards, as well as a number of promos that are not officially legal in Commander.
The intent of this project is to equip players with the tools they need to communicate their preferences and arrive at a shared set of expectations.
We know that silver-bordered cards are often contentious (and often with good reason), but we want to put the collective expertise of the Commander Advisory Group and Rules Committee to work in classifying the cards that are generally fine, the cards that can<\/em> be fine with a little work, and the cards that people should generally steer clear of. There\u2019s a group of folks out there who love playing with silver-bordered cards, and we want to remove as much friction as possible in their pre-game conversations.
This project is set to conclude at the end of August, and we\u2019ll hopefully have more to communicate in September\u2019s Quarterly Update alongside Duskmourn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By all accounts, Bloomburrow looks to be an exciting set packed with incredible art and a strong thematic framework. We don\u2019t anticipate any format-level changes being necessary as a result of anything in this set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
