Nope, Commander decks in Magic The Gathering don't have sideboards. According to the official rules, a Commander deck is a 100-card deck with no duplicates, except for basic lands. There's no room for sideboards in the traditional sense. However, you might hear about something called the 'Command Zone' where your commander hangs out!

Actually, Commander used to not officially support sideboards, but there's a bit of a workaround. Some playgroups allow a 10-card sideboard for wishes (cards that let you fetch non-playable cards from outside the game) or to adapt between games in a friendly match. But remember, this isn't official; always talk to your group about it first!

No sideboards here! Commander is all about that single, epic deck building challenge. Keep it lean, mean, and ready to battle straight out of the box with no adjustments needed.
