Players will be given a pool of 14 packs (2 packs each of Lord of the Rings, Bloomburrow, and Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate; 1 pack each of Wilds of Eldraine, Modern Horizons 3, Lost Caverns of Ixalan, Innistrad Remastered, Commander Masters, Ikoria, MTG Foundations, and Aetherdrift)
𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴
In pods of four, players will have 75 minutes to construct a commander deck. During the Deck Construction round, and only during the Deck Construction round, players may trade cards from their card pool amongst players in their build pod (and ONLY their build pod). Please note that while players are free to make trades amongst themselves in whatever way seems fair to them, offering another player money or outside compensation is strictly forbidden. Additionally, the event cannot guarantee any sort of trade-back agreement; players should assume that all trades are final.
Basic lands will be provided, and players may include any number of basic lands in their decks.
𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝗶𝘇𝗲
Players will build a 100-card singleton deck. A 101st card may be added in the event that your deck meets the requirement to include a companion.
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Continuous construction rules will be in effect for this event. Players may freely exchange cards between their deck and sideboard, provided that they continue to adhere to all other deckbuilding rules. Please note that players may only trade between sealed pools during the designated deck construction time. Players may not trade with other players to improve their deck or sealed pools in between play rounds. Doing so may result in a warning or a disqualification.

In constructed Commander, cards that reference “cards you own from outside the game” (your sideboard) don’t function. At this event, however, these cards function as they would in any limited event, with your unused sealed pool serving as your sideboard. Cards used from your sideboard must still adhere to the singleton rule (if there is a card with that name in your deck, you cannot get it from your sideboard), and must adhere to your commander’s color identity. A companion can be utilized as long as your deck meets all construction requirements of the companion. This card can serve as a 101st card that begins play in your sideboard which you may pay 3 mana to put into your hand any time you could cast a sorcery.
𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱
If you choose partners to be your commanders, or a legendary creature with “Choose a background” your deck will be the combined color identity of both of your commanders, or your commander and your background. Both will begin the game in the command zone. Your deck will be 98 cards + your commander(s)/background, rather than 99 cards + your Commander. Each player has access to up to two copies of Prismatic Piper or Faceless One, regardless of whether or not those cards show up in their sealed pool.
𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗲
Games will be played in pods of 4 (pods of 3 may be implemented in lieu of byes for higher table numbers if the total player count is not divisible by 4).
For this event, players will begin their games at 30 life.
There are 75 minutes allotted to each game.
When time is called, any pods still playing will have a custom emblem (to be distributed at the event) put into play at the start of the next player’s turn. This emblem will be designed to bring the game speedily to an end, and is very scary. Keep the game moving while you can!
