I'm no gossip!

But I heard from a Goblin who heard from a Homarid who fished it out of an Elemental that the rest of the Commandfest 2025 locations for the year are set and waiting for players just. Like. You.

Which are better, cats or dogs? Time to FINALLY & UNQUESTIONABLY settle this debate once and for all.

If the Cats drop sells better, we will have an all Cats Superdrop in 2026! If the Dogs sells better, we’ll have an all Dogs Superdrop!

YOU DECIDE!

I had an absolute blast designing the planes for this (s/o to John T with events for giving direction on some and helping pick the best of the bunch). I'm really excited to play with some of these :)

In Commander, there must be one player at the table whose job it is to disrupt everyone's gameplan and cause chaos.

Without this fundamental player, games are far too streamlined and predictable. Someone needs to be out there casting Warp World.
