Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
The participant limit applies to the combined total across all concurrently held events.
The event requires a minimum of 3 participants to proceed.
While 4-player pods are the standard, participants will be divided into groups of 3 to 5 depending on the total number of attendees.
A total of two games will be played.
Pods will be reshuffled between games.
The "Commander Bracket" system is in effect; please use a deck that fits into Bracket 3.
Each game consists of a 5-minute pre-game discussion to align deck power levels and Commander choices (often called "Rule 0"), followed by 70 minutes of gameplay, for a total of 75 minutes.
If a game does not conclude within the time limit, play continues until the stack is empty or 10 minutes have passed while resolving the stack. If the game still has not ended, the player with the highest life total wins (in the event of a tie, the winner is the player seated furthest back in the turn order among those tied).
Once a winner is determined, the participants at the table must select a player to receive the "Excitement/Happy Award" for that game.
You may change your deck between rounds.
