The Promos of Strixhaven

The Promos of Strixhaven

April 11, 2026

Commander players, get ready - there's something extra waiting for you at the table!

For a limited time (while supplies last), players who participate in select special Commander Events will receive an exclusive Access Tunnel promo card. These events are a great way to play, connect, and walk away with something special. We've got four opportunities for you to earn your promo:

May 2nd - Two-Headed Giant Commander (Free to play, 6 PM start time)

Grab a partner and take on another team of two in this cooperative Commander format. Communication is key - and deck synchronization helps!

Decks should fall within Brackets 1-3.

May 6th: Commander Party (Free to play, 6 PM start time)

Step into a unique, themed Commander experience inspired by Secrets of Strixhaven! At the start of each pod, players will choose one of five colleges to join - no restrictions based on your commander's color identity.

During the event:

At the beginning of your end step, you become prepared if one of the following happened during that turn:

You attacked with two or more creatures

You cast two or more non-creature spells

An opponent lost 3 or more life

When you become prepared, you may choose one of your college's spells and create a copy of it in exile. You may cast the copy of the spell as long as you're prepared. Once cast, you're no longer prepared.

As you cast your college's spells, mark them off - once you've cast all spells, your college's thesis ability becomes active.

Decks should fall within brackets 1-3.

June 6th: Two-Headed Giant Commander (Free to play, 6 PM start time)

Missed the first one? No worries! This event runs the same as the May 2nd Two-Headed Giant Event.

June 10th: Commander Party (Free to play, 6 PM start time)

Another chance to experience the Strixhaven-themed Commander Party with all the same special rules and gameplay twists as the May event.
