What Is Commander Box League?

Offered during the Prerelease period, Commander Box League is a Sealed event in which players open a Play Booster box, build a 60-card Commander deck, and play in Commander Box League games throughout the Prerelease period.

Players purchase a Play Booster box as part of entry. Games are played with normal Commander rules, but deck building follows modified rules for Commander Box League.

Note that Commander Box League is available only for in-store play; there is no at-home play option as there is with Prerelease events.

Commander Box League Deck Rules

After players open their Play Booster box, they construct a 60-card Commander deck from the contents. Buy-a-Box and Commander promos may not be used in deck building.

• Decks may include multiple copies of cards opened from the Play Booster.
• Any legal commander opened is allowed.
• Color identity rules in deck building are ignored; players may build decks with any colors they want, regardless of their commander's color identity. Note: commander color identity still applies when cards refer to color identity (for example, with Arcane Signet).

Players may adjust their decks between games using cards from their Play Booster box.

Pairing and Gameplay

Pods are composed of three to four players, with pairing left to the store to decide. The entry fee is at the store's discretion, and stores are responsible for providing the Play Booster box for entry.

Normal Commander rules apply for gameplay in these events (e.g., 40 starting life, commander damage tracking, etc.).

Promo Cards

Commander Party promo cards will be referred to simply as Commander promos beginning with Edge of Eternities, and their allocation and use is extended to include Commander Box League events (as well as Commander Party and Two-Headed Giant Commander Night events).

WPN stores will receive an increased allocation of Commander promo cards to support the additional Commander programs. These promos are non-foil by default but will be traditional foil at WPN Premium locations.

Because entry requires purchasing a Play Booster box, participants in Commander Box League events also qualify for the Buy-a-Box promo.

Distribute to each participant:

• One Commander promo card
• One Buy-a-Box promo
• Any additional prizing for the event you've chosen

Schedule and Promote Your Events

Scheduling for Commander Box League events is now open in Wizards EventLink for July 25–31. We recommend scheduling times each day during Prerelease weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) to ensure play opportunities and encourage turnout. Schedule additional games throughout the Prerelease week and invite players to return and continue playing their decks.

Players can be enrolled in a separate daily event for each day they participate, contributing to your store's play metrics for each entry.

Scheduling is unlimited for this event during the Prerelease period.

Make registration even easier for players by displaying the new event QR codes available in EventLink.

Promote your events by using the marketing resources we have available, including downloadable Edge of Eternities digital marketing assets. WPN stores in the US, Canada, Guam, and Puerto Rico can also purchase customizable materials from the WPN Marketing Portal, and WPN Premium stores in these regions have a $300 seasonal promotional marketing credit for Edge of Eternities that expires on August 25.
