Precons

Upgrading a precon?

Our kits are 10–15 singles that fix a named precon, with a list of what to cut. Tell us yours.

Choosing a precon

Start with the commander

The commander sets the plan. Read its card first: if that plan sounds fun, the deck will be.

Check the colours

More colours means more options and a shakier mana base. Two-colour decks are the smoothest out of the box.

Older precons cost more

Once a precon is out of print, sealed copies get scarce. The singles from its list are often cheaper: check its page.

Questions

Good to know

Which precon should I buy to play out of the box?

Pick by how you like to play, not by price: go wide with tokens, attack with big creatures, or combo off with spells. Every precon page shows its commander, colours and full list so you can see the plan before you buy. On r/EDH, World Shaper and Explorers of the Deep come up most often as strong out of the box.

Which precon is good for a beginner?

One with a single clear plan and a commander that does one thing well. Some of the strongest decks are the hardest to pilot: players say Blight Curse is a favourite but not one to hand a new player.

What should I cut and upgrade first?

Start with the lands and mana: swap tapped lands for untapped ones and add cheap ramp. Then cut the cards that don’t help the commander’s plan. Our upgrade kits come with a cut list, and Deck Check prices any upgrade we have in stock.

Why is an older precon so expensive?

Once a precon is out of print, the sealed decks left get scarcer and the price follows. Often the singles cost less than the sealed deck: check the list on its page and price the cards you want in Deck Check.

What bracket are precons?

Most precons sit around bracket 2, a casual power level, out of the box. A few upgrades lift a deck into bracket 3; that’s what our kits aim for.
