Summary

Wizards Unleash Infinite

Wizards of the Coast released the Golgari commander Tom, Bert, and William.
The commander lets you sacrifice a creature to draw cards equal to its mana value and discard a card.
Because the creature returns as an artifact after death, it can be repeatedly sacrificed, enabling infinite loops with sacrifice triggers.
Collector Boosters will feature a Dwarven-language Arcane Signet and 500 Smaug, the Magnificent headliner cards with a rare foil portrait.

History

Historical Context

The 2026 release at a major gaming convention extends the Commander branding that first appeared with the Jeep Commander debut in 2005 and the online game War Commander launch in September 2011, which had over 9,000 concurrent users by July 2024. This pattern shows how the “Commander” label has become a cross-industry marker for flagship products.
