Precons is a catalog of the preconstructed decks Wizards of the Coast has sold, from the 1996 starter decks to the latest Commander releases. Every product page shows the decks it contained as they were published, and any of them can be copied into your own account as an editable deck. A product appears before its release date only once its complete decklist has been published.
Browse by product line
The catalog is shelved by product line, the families Wizards sold its decks in. Each link below opens one line on its own, newest products first.
Commander and Brawl: Commander Decks, Secret Lair Decks and Brawl Decks.
Multiplayer games and variants: Game Night, Planechase, Archenemy and the cooperative Challenge Decks.
Decks built for tournament formats: Challenger Decks, Pioneer Challenger Decks, Event Decks and Clash Packs.
Set decks, tie-ins and learn-to-play products: Theme Decks, Intro Packs, Planeswalker Decks, Starter & Welcome Decks, Starter Kits, Guild Kits and Duels of the Planeswalkers Decks.
Boxed sets and collectibles: Duel Decks, Deck Box Sets, the all-foil Premium Deck Series and the gold-bordered World Championship & Pro Tour Decks, which are replicas rather than tournament-legal cards.
What a product page shows
A product is what was sold; a deck is what was inside it. Most products hold one deck, as nearly every Commander deck does, while a Duel Decks box holds two and an anthology such as Commander Anthology or Planechase Anthology holds four, and each list is addressable on its own so you can link to the one you mean. The page also gathers the other products of the same line released for the same set on the same day, so every deck of a release is one click away.
For each deck the page shows the published list with its original quantities, the commander where there was one, the sideboard where there was one, and the colors the deck was built in. Cards are matched against the same card index the rest of Manamancer uses, by the exact printing the source names, so hovering a card shows the printing the product shipped rather than a generic one.
Where the data comes from
Decklists are transcribed from published sources, most of them through MTGJSON's deck files, and each deck links back to the source it came from wherever one is known; where Wizards' original page is gone and an archived copy of it exists, the copy is linked beside it. Nothing on these pages is reconstructed from memory or inferred from what a deck probably contained. When a card in a published list cannot be matched against the card index, it is shown as unmatched rather than quietly dropped or swapped for something similar — a list with a gap in it is more useful than a list that hides one.
Some facts are simply missing for older products. Wizards' own decklist pages for 1990s and early 2000s releases are frequently gone, and where no source states a release date, a set code, or a retail price, the page leaves it out instead of guessing.
Prices are singles values, not MSRP
The price shown for a product is the current market value of its cards, added up from the card index's per-printing prices. It is not what the product cost at retail, and it is not what a sealed copy sells for today. Where a published source states the release price, the page shows that MSRP separately, with a link to its source. When any card in a deck has no price, or could not be matched to the exact printing the product shipped, the total is shown as a minimum rather than a full valuation.
Saving a copy
Saving a deck creates a private deck in your account containing the published list, unchanged. The list is never edited to fit a format — Manamancer suggests the closest supported format for the copy and tells you why, and where the fit is imperfect the usual legality checks show you exactly what does not fit. A 30-card welcome deck stays a 30-card deck and is reported as incomplete; a Brawl deck built for a Standard that has since rotated opens with those cards flagged.
Your copy is yours: editing it does not change the catalog, and the original stays exactly as published.
