Friday Night Commander Pods at Gnome Games Appleton East – $5*

Join us at Gnome Games Appleton East for Friday Night Magic the Gathering Commander Pods!

Every Friday at 3:30, 5:30, and 7:30 PM, we run three rounds of Magic the Gathering Commander Pods, where we pair players in groups of up to 4 to face off against each other. Each round has its own individual sets of promotional prizes, too! “Pods” is the term used to describe a group of players playing together! Pods can be as large or as small as you’d like, but generally don’t go above 4 to 5 people.

Entry to this event is $5 of Magic the Gathering related product per Pod. Players need a Wizards account to qualify for promotional packs and cards. Don’t have a Wizards account? Register for one here!

What is Magic the Gathering?

Magic is a collectible trading card game of fun-filled, strategic games to play with friends old and new. Welcoming worldbuilders, narrative lovers, and gameplay enthusiasts alike, Magic has something for everyone and countless ways to play. Each of the five colors in Magic represent a different philosophy and a different playstyle. Choose your color(s) to decide which type of land you’ll be drawing resources (mana) from and what type of Magic you’ll wield. Magic has thousands of cards so you can always find a way to express yourself on the battlefield! Looking to learn more? Check out the Learn to Play section of their website!

What is 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 or artifact to serve as your commander and build the rest of your deck around their color identity and unique abilities. Players have a limit of one of each card in their deck, with the exception of basic lands, but they can use cards from throughout Magic’s history. A card’s color identity can come from any part of that card, including its casting cost and any mana symbols in its text. Every card in your Commander deck must only use mana symbols that also appear on your commander. Colorless cards are allowed as well.
