If you're unsure about which precon to add to your collection next, taking a good old deep dive into the MTG Duskmourn Commander decklists will get you one step closer. With all four decks featuring compelling Commanders and mechanics that can suit a variety of playstyles, you should find one that's perfect for you. 

However, the joy of any of the best card games isn't just in playing decks but in customizing them too. Getting a crystal clear picture of what exactly is included in each precon will also give you a perfect opportunity to plan any upgrades to the MTG Duskmourn Commander decklists in advance. 

The list below details everything included in the 100-card MTG Duskmourn Commander decks as well as the token and scheme cards that accompany them. While tokens are standard fare for precons, the scheme cards are specifically for use in the Archenemy game mode that's returning with this set. Start planning your journey through the haunted halls of Duskmourn and check out the decklists below.

Jump Scare decklist

Jump Scare requires a little extra brain power to pilot thanks to all the face down cards you have to keep track of but in return for your effort, you can leverage the element of surprise against your opponents. The deck's face Commander, Zimone, Mystery Unraveler allows you to manifest dread on your first land drop of your turn and flip a face down permanent on your second.

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild can help you secure that second landfall trigger as it makes nontoken creatures into Forest lands in addition to their other types. However, if by some terrible luck you do struggle to flip your manifested creatures, you can rely on a backup plan of Experimental Lab / Staff Room or simply pay the card's mana cost at any time.

Death Toll decklist

Winter, Cynical Opportunist card art

(Image credit: Wizards of the Coast)

Death Toll is a reanimator deck that centers around the cycle of stuffing your graveyard with cards and either using them to trigger Delirium effects or resurrecting them as an undead army.

To help populate your graveyard (preferably with four or more card types), the deck has a number of strong mill cards like Nyx Weaver, Stitcher's Supplier, Cemetery Tampering, and of course, the deck's face Commander itself. In fact, Winter, Cynical Opportunist encapsulates all three stages of this deck's game plan by allowing you to mill when he attacks and reanimate permanents provided you reach the quota for a Delirium trigger.

Endless Punishment decklist

Vagavoth, Harrower of Souls card art

With the big bad of Duskmourn's story serving as its face Commander, it's no surprise that Endless Punishment is a deck that is pretty sadistic. The M.O. of this deck is group slug: that's to say it aims to bring as much pain to as many opponents as possible.

You'll be able to indiscriminately dish out damage thanks to inclusions like Persistent Constrictor and Harsh Mentor. Meanwhile, you'll be able to continually undermine your opponent's efforts to recover and build a board state with cards like Mogis, God of Slaughter and The Lord of Pain.

Miracle Worker decklist

Aminatou, Veil Piercer from MTG Duskmourn

Miracle Worker deals heavily in enchantment spells. That includes strategies like reducing their cost with the deck's face Commander or Starfield Mystic and using The Master of Keys or Auramancer to return them from your graveyard.

The result is a continual engine for casting (and recasting) the 15 formidable enchantments in the deck to produce effects ranging from spell copying to Treasure generation and more.
