Secrets of Strixhaven: A Deckbox in Your College Colors

Strixhaven Makes Its Grand Return

Magic: The Gathering is taking us back to the most famous university in the Multiverse. The Secrets of Strixhaven set, scheduled for April 24, 2026, promises a fresh exploration of Arcavios, this time looking at life beyond the campus walls. For Commander players, this is a major event: five new decks, each representing a college, will be available at launch.

Silverquill, Prismari, Witherbloom, Lorehold, and Quandrix. Each college has a strong visual identity, iconic colors, and its own philosophy. For a Commander player, choosing your college is about more than strategy. It's a declaration of allegiance.

Five Colleges, Five Visual Identities

What makes Strixhaven so special for customization is the richness of its graphic universe. Each college has its own visual codes: the deep blue and black of Silverquill evoke ink and ancient manuscripts, while Prismari's vivid red and blue recall expressionist art. Witherbloom plays on green and black with an organic aesthetic, Lorehold blends red and white with raw energy, and Quandrix pairs green and blue in mathematical harmony.

These color palettes are perfectly suited to deckbox customization. Two-tone 3D printing can directly reproduce your college's signature colors. And to take things further, a hand-painted finish can add details like your faction's emblem or patterns inspired by Strixhaven's architecture.

Your Deckbox, Your Crest

Picture arriving at your Commander table with a deckbox that proudly displays your college colors. Before you even reveal your commander, your opponents know who they're dealing with. It's a visual statement that deepens immersion and enhances the fun.

With DeckSmith, you can design a deckbox that holds up to 125 double-sleeved cards, which is a perfect fit for the Commander format. The online configurator lets you choose your colors, import your own artwork, or generate designs with AI for the front and back medallions. You can reproduce your college's crest or create a custom version that blends the Strixhaven universe with your personal style.

Launch day is just weeks away. Now is the ideal time to plan ahead and order your custom deckbox. Artisanal craftsmanship takes time, so don't wait until the set drops to get started.

Whether you're a creative Prismari mage or a knowledge-seeking Silverquill scholar, your deckbox should tell your story. Head over to the DeckSmith forge to design yours and proudly represent your college from day one.
