Since 2011, Wizards of the Coast has released a product line containing preconstructed Commander decks. ![]() The EDH name was changed due to intellectual property concerns. Larabee went on to advocate the format within Wizards of the Coast which led to the commercial launch of the format in 2011. In the following year, Menery along with other Pro Tour judges, Gavin Duggan and Duncan McGregor, created a rules committee with an official website. Scott Larabee, the Wizards of the Coast’s Pro Tour manager, played the format for the first time in 2005 with one of Menery's decks at a tournament.
