Good Morning Magic Shows Off 2021 Challenger Decks

Gavin Verhey introduced the four new Challenger Decks for 2021 on today’s episode of Good Morning Magic.

Challenger Decks are 60-card decks with fifteen-card sideboards, modeled after top Standard decks that are perfect to pick up and play out of the box. In the video, Verhey shows off the new eco-friendly packaging that still works as a deck box while unboxing all four. The decks for this year are: Mono-Green Stompy, Azorius Control, Mono-Red Aggro, and Dimir Rogues. The decks come out on March 26.
