Command Tower

Command Tower was first introduced in the 2011 Commander product line to provide a functional, staple land specifically designed for the multiplayer Commander format. By allowing players to tap for any color in their commander's identity, the card solved a major mechanical hurdle in deck-building, quickly becoming a ubiquitous fixture in the format's landscape. The Tarkir: Dragonstorm Commander iteration serves as a thematic printing that integrates the card into the lore-rich setting of the Tarkir plane, reflecting the dragon-centric aesthetic of that block.

The artwork for this specific version was commissioned from artist Marina Ortega Lorente, who leaned into the dramatic, high-fantasy architectural style synonymous with the dragon clans of Tarkir. Her design focuses on the imposing verticality of the structure, echoing the card's function as a central focal point of gameplay. The release was well-received by the player base for its inclusion in a pre-constructed deck, ensuring broader accessibility to what is arguably the most essential land card in the Commander format.
