Random Commander Generator (MTG), FAQ

Where does the commander list come from?
The list was pulled from the Scryfall card database (legendary creatures that are legal as commanders), ordered by EDHREC popularity. Each result shows its color identity.
Can I get a random commander in specific colors?
Yes. Use the Color menu to require a color, such as Green, and the Colors menu to choose mono-color, two-color, three-color or four- and five-color commanders.
What is color identity?
A commander's color identity includes every mana symbol on the card, including its rules text. Your 99 other cards must stay within that identity.
Can I use it for a random commander deck challenge?
Yes. Draw a commander, then build a deck with a set budget. It is a popular way to break out of building the same deck every time.
Is this site affiliated with Wizards of the Coast?
No. Magic: The Gathering is a trademark of Wizards of the Coast. Toolssy is an unofficial fan tool.
How do I use the Random Commander Generator (MTG)?
Set your options if you like, then press Generate. You'll get a commander instantly, ready to copy. Sensible defaults mean you can also just hit Generate.
Is the Random Commander Generator (MTG) really random?
Yes. Where available, Toolssy uses the browser's Web Crypto API, far stronger than a basic Math.random() call, so your commanders are genuinely unpredictable and unbiased.
Is the Random Commander Generator (MTG) free, and do you store my results?
It's completely free with no account and no limits, and no, nothing is stored. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your inputs and results are never sent to a server or logged.
