izards of the Coast has announced two new preconstructed products for Magic: The Gathering, with both aimed at getting new players introduced to the game.

Both the Game Night: Free-For-All box and the 2022 Pioneer Challenger decks will be launching on October 14, bringing them with a total of nine preconstructed decks you can play right out of the box.

Announced through Weekly MTG, Game Night: Free-For-All is the third Game Night box released for Magic: The Gathering. Like the two before it, it is intended to be played in a multiplayer format with up to five players. The box will include five decks, with each specifically constructed and balanced to play against each other. The entire point of Game Night boxes is to remove the trading aspect from Magic, and just have a game you can play with other people straight out of the box.

Game Night Box

Unlike the previous boxes released in 2018 and 2019, Free-for-All is taking more inspiration from Magic’s most popular format, Commander, by including five legendary creature face cards. While most cards in the decks will be reprints of existing cards, each one will also include one brand-new legendary creature the deck is built around. All five of the new legendary creatures will be legal not just in the Game Night box, but also in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage.

Game Night Commanders

As this is an introductory product meant to bring newcomers into Magic, each of the five new not-quite-commanders are relatively simple, monocolour creatures. For instance, Vogar, Necropolis Tyrant is a monoblack Zombie Giant that gets +1/+1 counters whenever creatures die, while Zamriel, Seraph of Steel gives equipped creatures you control indestructible on your turn. Notably, the blue creature, Maeve, Insidious Singer, is Magic’s first-ever legendary Siren.

By far the best of these is Imaryll, Elfhame Elite, whose Elf-tribal abilities and ability to get its combat damage through to players regardless of blockers could make it a viable piece of Elf tribal decks in other formats.

The second product launching on October 14 is this year’s selection of Pioneer Challenger Decks. Pioneer, a format that only uses cards printed in Standard since 2012’s Return to Ravnica block, has been rapidly gaining popularity in recent years. This is the second collection of Challenger decks, which aim to reproduce budget-friendly takes on some of the format’s most popular archetypes.

This year’s decks include the blue/black Dimir Control, the white/black Orzhov Humans, the blue/red Izzet Phoenix, and the red/green Gruul Stompy. Some of these aren’t perfect recreations of their meta-defining archetypes, but they do include cards that often see play in the format, such as Narset, Parter of Veils in Dimir Control, and the Pioneer staple Arclight Phoenix in Izzet Phoenix.

Both products will launch on October 14, a mere week after the launch of the parody set Unfinity and the upcoming Warhammer 40,000 Commander decks. Q3 2022 is scheduled to be incredibly busy for Magic.
