Wizards of the Coast announced upcoming changes to the Magic: The Gathering Commander format scheduled for February 9, 2026. The announcement will include updates to the banned and restricted list, with some cards being unbanned and others banned or restricted. Notably, Biorhythm and Lutri, the Spellchaser, are unbanned and added to the Game Changers list, though Lutri cannot be played as a companion. Additionally, Farewell has been moved to the Game Changers list, effectively banning it in lower brackets. Other cards such as Eldrazi Temple, Ajani, Nacatl Pariah, Crop Rotation, Scholar of the Lost Trove, and Necropotence have been banned or restricted across different formats. The unbanning of powerful cards like Prophet of Kruphix, Sylvan Primordial, and Biorhythm has caused significant price spikes among collectors and investors, with Prophet of Kruphix's market value increasing by over 400%. The announcement also hints at potential changes to hybrid mana rules and other game mechanics, but no definitive bans or unbans are confirmed beyond the listed cards. Overall, this is one of the more restrained B&R updates in recent years, with the community speculating about further unbans and format adjustments.
