Commander is a series of supplemental Magic: the Gathering card game products. Its mechanics are derived from a fan-created format known as "Elder Dragon Highlander (EDH)".[2] The official Commander format is "the only sanctioned format maintained by an outside entity" other than Wizards of the Coast.[3][4]
