Magic: The Gathering Secrets of Strixhaven: Full Card List and Set Breakdown

Secrets of Strixhaven is a 65-card Commander supplement released alongside the main Strixhaven: School of Mages set. Unlike the main set, Secrets of Strixhaven is not a standalone expansion — it's a curated collection of powerful spells designed specifically for Commander and other high-powered formats, featuring some of the most sought-after reprints in recent MTG history.

The set is notable for concentrating an extraordinary density of high-value cards — Force of Will, Vampiric Tutor, Cyclonic Rift, Berserk, and Jeska's Will in a single 65-card product. For collectors and Commander players, it's one of the strongest reprint sets Wizards of the Coast has produced.

What Is Secrets of Strixhaven?

Secrets of Strixhaven is a 65-card spell-focused Commander supplement — not a draft set, not a Standard-legal expansion. Every card in the set is an instant or sorcery, reflecting the spell-heavy academic theme of Strixhaven's five colleges. The set is available in Collector Booster packs and is included in the Strixhaven Commander decks.

Because the cards are not Standard-legal, their primary homes are Commander, Legacy, and Vintage — formats where cards like Force of Will and Vampiric Tutor are among the most powerful in the game.

Top Cards to Watch — Format Breakdown

Legacy / Vintage Staples

• Force of Will (019, Mythic) — One of the most iconic cards in Magic history. A free counterspell that defines Legacy and Vintage. This reprint is significant for accessibility.
• Vampiric Tutor (035, Mythic) — The gold standard tutor in Commander and Legacy. Instant speed, any card, one mana. Consistently one of the highest-value cards in any set it appears in.
• Daze (015, Rare) — A Legacy staple in tempo and Delver strategies. Free counterspell with a land bounce cost.
• Flusterstorm (018, Mythic) — The premier counter to combo in Legacy and Vintage. Extremely high demand from competitive players.
• Berserk (050, Mythic) — A powerful combat trick with deep Legacy history. Doubles power and kills the creature at end of turn — devastating in the right deck.

Commander Staples

• Cyclonic Rift (014, Mythic) — The most played blue card in Commander. An overloaded Cyclonic Rift bounces every non-land permanent your opponents control. An auto-include in virtually every blue Commander deck.
• Jeska's Will (044, Mythic) — One of the strongest red cards in Commander. Generates mana and cards based on your opponents' hand sizes — explosive in the right build.
• Veil of Summer (060, Rare) — A one-mana green spell that counters blue and black spells and draws a card. Sees play in Commander, Legacy, and Modern.
• Winds of Abandon (012, Mythic) — A white board wipe that exiles creatures. The overloaded mode is one of the cleanest mass removal spells in Commander.
• Armageddon (003, Mythic) — The classic land destruction spell. Controversial in Commander but powerful in the right strategy.
• Living End (030, Mythic) — A Modern and Legacy combo piece that also sees Commander play. Suspends for free and reanimates your graveyard.
• Ad Nauseam (025, Mythic) — A powerful combo enabler in Commander. Draw cards equal to your life total — the foundation of several competitive Commander strategies.
• Triumph of the Hordes (059, Mythic) — A green infect finisher that wins games out of nowhere in Commander. One of the most feared green cards in the format.
