How to make a Commander deck in MTG Arena
Making a Commander deck in MTG Arena starts with picking your Commander. This is usually a legendary creature that sets the theme and color identity of your deck. Once you've chosen your Commander, build your deck around it, ensuring that all cards match the Commander's color identity. You'll need exactly 100 cards, including your Commander. Keep in mind the balance of lands, spells, and creatures for a versatile strategy. Unfortunately, as of my last check, MTG Arena does not support the Commander format in the same way paper Magic or MTG Online does. However, you can experiment with Brawl, a similar format that MTG Arena supports, which allows for 60-card decks built around a Commander.

Commander in Arena? Good luck! Arena doesn't officially support Commander, but Brawl’s your next best thing. Pick a legendary creature or planeswalker as your Commander, build a 60-card deck around it, and stay within a single copy of each card except basic lands. It’s like Commander Lite™.
Actually, making a traditional Commander deck in MTG Arena isn't possible since the platform doesn’t support the format. You're thinking of Brawl, which is kind of a mini Commander experience. Just focus on that.
