This Friday, Oct 4 at 6 pm signups begin for our first Commander Draft of this season! Our first 3 month cycle was so popular, we’re offering it again – with a twist! New tokens, new promos and new sets in the pool.
First of all, let’s look at the exclusive promos you can only get at Just Games
Monthly Exclusive tokens
Each month we will have a new, exclusive Artist Series token with original art from some of Magic’s favorite artists. October’s promo is zombie themed from Willem Hampson!
Since these are tokens, they are 100% useable game pieces in any format you may play – including tournaments. All of the art is exclusively done for Just Games Commander Drafts – there’s no other way to get it.
Seasonal Rewards
This season you can earn a promo foil Crucible of Worlds for playing in at least 10 drafts OR a Neon Yellow Cavern of Souls (both are while supplies last).
The season runs 3 months, through Sept, so that leaves you plenty of time to earn this reward. If you’re a drafter and a Commander player, this night is for you.
Format
Each season, we’ll rotate the specific packs available on a given FNM to create a curated Commander Draft experience. You can expect, at first, to receive 1 Pack of a Commander Set, 1 of a Wild Card slot, and 1 of a Legend-Heavy set. The Wild Card will generally, but not always, be the newest released “standard” set.
For example, at the start of Season 2 we will provide 1 pack of Commander Baldur’s Gate, 1 of Duskmourn, and 1 of March of the Machine. When Foundations launches it is reasonable to expect Duskmourn would be replaced by Foundations.
Registration is at 6 pm, with draft beginning at 6:30. Draft will be 30 minutes, with players constructing a 40 card Commander deck (instead of 60) in the Commander Draft format. Players will play 1 round at a pod of 3 or 4 players, with a time limit of 150 minutes (2.5 hours). The last player standing will earn 2 Play boosters, everyone else will get 1 Play booster. All players participating will get that month’s token, and a stamp toward their Cavern of Souls.
Cost
Like our Standard Draft on Wednesday, these drafts are $25.
