Update: MTG Doctor 9.2.15

In this release of MTG Doctor we have added the following:

  • Added initial support for Commander/EDH
  • Added Legality checking for Commander/EDH decks.
  • Corrected Land suggestion feature to account for Commander/EDH decks.

Support for Commander/EDH decks: As of this version MTG Doctor analyses your deck to detect if it is a Commander/EDH deck. At the moment a deck is considered to be a Commander deck if the deck size is more than 50 cards and every card has only one copy. When a deck is recognized as Commander/EDH the Commander will appear at the top of the creatures list, all other creatures will continue to display in alphabetical order.  This is an extension of the Deck View feature.

Sedris, the Traitor King is the commander for the deck.

Legality checking for Commander/EDH decks: Decks can now be validated for commander compliance. This is an extension of the Deck Legality feature. The legality checker looks for the following to validate your commander deck:
  • Commander: If the deck has no commander the deck will be considered invalid.
  • Singleton: If any of the cards in your deck has more than one copy it will fail validation.
  • Colors in Commander: If any of the cards in your deck contains a color that is not part of your commander, it will fail validation.
  • Deck Size: Commander/EDH decks must be exactly 100 cards in size. If the decks has more or less card it will fail validation.
  • Banned Cards: If any card in the deck is banned, the deck will fail validation.
  • Restricted Cards: If any card in the deck is restricted, the deck will fail validation.
Some error messages can be touch for quick fixing.

Corrected Land suggestion feature: If a deck is recognized as a Commander/EDH deck. The land suggestion feature will take the 100 card limit when generating a suggestion of lands for your commander deck. This is a modification to the Suggested Land Distribution feature.

For Commander/EDH decks the card limit of 100 is taking into account when suggesting lands.
