The full list of MTG products for the release of Lost Caverns of Ixalan (LCI) was put on display today at MagicCon.

Unlike Wilds of Eldraine, which had only two Commander preconstructed decks, the LCI set will have four. Each has its own theme, from vampires to dinosaurs. And each LCI Commander Precon comes with one collector booster sample pack and two Legendary traditional foils.
