Magic two-player setup planner: how many decks do you need?
This planner tells two players how many complete decks are still missing. It treats 60-card introductory Magic and 100-card Commander as separate formats, and it removes decks you already own from the recommendation.
What the result counts
The planner counts complete, ready-to-play decks. It does not treat booster packs, loose cards or a deck from the other format as a substitute. Check the exact product contents before buying.
Read the Starter Kit and Commander comparison.
Can two people practise Commander?
Two people can put one Commander deck each on the table, but Wizards’ official format page lists 3–5 players and describes the format around multiplayer play. Treat a two-person game as practice for the larger table. See the official Commander page.
Which Commander themes suit a beginner?
Wizards describes the Foundations Commander decks as ready-to-play 100-card decks with straightforward core strategies. Pick by theme after every player has agreed to Commander. See Wizards’ Foundations Commander guide.
