Love Commander, but tired of playing against the same decks your friends bring every day? Well here’s an excuse to knock the dust off those piles of cards you have and build some NEW decks. Throughout 2020, Just Games will be hosting the Commander Deckbuilding Challenge for Rochester from 6-9 pm each Wednesday. Come by any time, play at least one game, and unlock achievements on a “bingo” style grid. Rewards are boosters (or equivalent discount on singles the same night) or promo packs. $5 per week.
The league begins for the year on February 5!
COMMANDER BINGO CHALLENGE
Actions taken during games will unlock achievements. Achievements will be tracked on a 5 x 5 grid. Each row (across, down and diagonal) filled out completely during a league season will be worth 1 pack. Unlocking the whole grid will be worth a specific pack. Achievements for a given league season may differ slightly, according to the themes below. The central square of each grid will be to play with one of the Theme Commanders. A sample roster of some achievements (but not their arrangement on the score card!) is provided below:
- Cast at least 4 spells in a single turn
- Knock out 3 Players with Combat Damage (in one night)
- Spend at least 15 mana on a single spell
- Lose to Commander Damage
- Have 50+ cards in your graveyard at once
- Play with one of the monthly Theme options!
