Magic Secrets of Strixhaven Commander Deck - Lorehold Spirit (Boros)

The Commander deck Lorehold Spirit from Magic: The Gathering – Secrets of Strixhaven plays red and white — the Boros colors. The primary commander is Quintorius, History Chaser, with Excava, the Risen Past as the secondary commander.

What’s in the box

• 1 ready-to-play Commander deck of 100 cards
• 2 foil borderless commanders — the primary commander and the secondary commander
• 98 non-foil cards, including 10 cards new to Magic
• 10 double-sided tokens
• 1 cardboard deck box

How the deck plays

Lorehold is the college of history, and this deck literally brings the past back: it rewards you every time cards leave your graveyard, turning them into Spirits. Your graveyard isn’t a trash pile, then — it’s a second hand: everything you lose earns you something.

Back to Strixhaven

Secrets of Strixhaven released on April 24, 2026 and brings back the magical academy Strixhaven, with its five colleges each combining their own color pair and playstyle. Each deck has two commanders in foil: you choose which one you lead with, and that changes how the deck plays.

What a precon is

Commander is usually played with four players at once, each with a deck of a hundred cards built around one legendary creature. A precon is a deck like that, ready to go, right out of the box: you don’t need to buy anything extra, and you can join a game right away.

The other colleges are Silverquill Influence, Prismari Artistry, Witherbloom Pestilence, and Quandrix Unlimited.
