Next event... Commander Friday (21st Feb) : 2025-02-21

Description

8pm Start for this event.

We are open from 10am till 10pm, where you are welcome to play friendly games amongst yourselves.

WHAT IS COMMANDER?

Commander is an exciting, unique way to play Magic that is all about awesome legendary creatures, big plays, and battling your friends in epic multiplayer games! In Commander, each player chooses a legendary creature as the commander of their deck. They then play with a 99-card deck that contains only cards of their commander's colors. Also, other than basic lands, each deck can only use one copy of any card. During the game, you can cast your commander multiple times, meaning your favorite Legendary Creature can come back again and again to lead the charge as you battle for victory!


These Commander decks introduce an ability called eminence that lets your commander lead from the command zone, even before they have entered the battlefield. The eminence ability appears on characters from all parts of Magic lore, allowing you to call on the power and skill of some of the best leaders in the Multiverse.


HOW TO PLAY COMMANDER

The Commander format is all about picking your hero and building a deck around them. In this casual, multiplayer format, you choose a legendary creature to serve as your commander and build the rest of your deck around their color identity.

YOUR DECK

1 commander card (legendary creature)

99 other cards

Only one copy of any card, except basic lands

All cards must be in the color identity of the commander

THE GAME

2–6 players

Free-for-all multiplayer format

Start with 40 life

All commanders start in their command zone

Take turns in clockwise order

Last player standing wins
