What is the most popular commander in MTG right now?
As of 2026-10-23, Jace, Multiverse Architect is the most-built commander of the past week with 3,611 new decks on EDHREC, followed by Y'shtola, Night's Blessed and Giada, Font of Hope.
Which commanders are rising right now?
Recent risers on the weekly chart include Varina, Lich Queen (#83 on 2026-10-17), Tidus, Yuna's Guardian (#51 on 2026-10-17), Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver (#60 on 2026-10-17). The rising commanders log on this page keeps every big jump from the last 30 days, with the date, the rank move and that week's deck count.
How is this list calculated?
It counts decks added to EDHREC over the trailing 7 days for each commander, refreshed daily. Movement arrows compare each commander's rank to the previous day's snapshot of the weekly list.
Why is a commander's rank different on EDHREC's own page?
Different time windows. This list ranks by decks built in the past 7 days, so it tracks what is hot right now. EDHREC's commander pages display rank over a much longer period (roughly the past two years), so an evergreen favorite can sit higher there while ranking lower on this week's list, and a brand new commander can top this list before it climbs the long-term one.
What do the prices mean?
The price shown is the cheapest regular printing of the commander card itself (TCGplayer market, Near Mint), not the whole deck. To cheapen a deck, look each expensive card up in the free card search on this site and take one of the cards it lists as doing the same job.
