[[File:Display commander card stock.jpg|right|thumb|Comparison of the card stock of the display commander with a regular card]] A '''display commander''' is a non-legal ''[[Magic]]'' card introduced for ''[[Commander 2021]]'' in April, 2021. ==Description== The display commander depicts the main [[Commander (designation)|commander]] of the [[Commander deck]] and is printed on a significantly thicker [[card stock]]. It is therefore not a [[tournament]]-[[legal]] ''Magic'' card.<ref>{{YouTubeRef|Txi-2O3DcpQ|Strixhaven Commander Unboxing|channel=[[WeeklyMTG]]|date=April 9, 2021}}</ref> Some display commanders may be [[foil-etched]]. It can be used in [[Commander (format)|Commander games]] to designate the special status of the [[Commander (designation)|commander]]. Great for showing off and celebrating your deck but not legal in sanctioned Commander play. ==History== Display commanders replaced the [[oversized]] card of previous Commander products. Its introduction was part of the push for an updated packaging with increasing recyclability and decreasing amounts of plastic.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/check-out-new-packaging-commander-2021-edition-and-beyond-2021-04-08|Check Out The New Packaging for Commander (2021 Edition) and Beyond|[[Adam Styborski]]|April 8, 2021}}</ref> After ''Commander 2021'', the Display commander was added to each subsequent product in the [[Commander series]]. Starting with ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'' they received their own [[collector number]]. As of ''[[Murders at Karlov Manor]]'' the [[Showcase]] style for display commanders was named "Vanity".<ref name="Aftershow">{{YouTubeRef|mPYIidIMzyc|Murders At Karlov Manor Debut Aftershow.|channel=[[Magic: The Gathering]]|date=January 16, 2024}}</ref> With ''[[Outlaws of Thunder Junction]]'' [[Wizards of the Coast]] moved away from the foil-etched display commanders, because player feedback showed that folks would rather have regular-sized cards that matched the rest of their decks.<ref name="Collecting OTJ">{{DailyRef|feature/collecting-outlaws-of-thunder-junction|Collecting ''Outlaws of Thunder Junction''|[[Max McCall]]|March 26, 2024}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} {{Commander|selected=misc}} [[Category:Cards]]
