What Is Commander Party?

Commander Party is a story-inspired Commander event that immerses players in the setting of the latest set release. The vibe is fun and casual, and the events are outstanding opportunities to welcome in broad groups from your community, from new players to lore enthusiasts to Commander fans.

The event features special rules designed specifically for Edge of Eternities and includes play aids and party cards to support play. Each pod of three to four players receives a play aid, and party cards are placed in the designated area of the play aid. Commander Party physical materials will be sent to your store in English; you can find downloadable local-language versions of these on the marketing materials page.

How to Run Edge of Eternities Commander Party

Your Edge of Eternities marketing kit includes English copies of the Commander Party play aid and world cards. Translations in additional languages are available as downloadable assets on the Marketing Materials page.

Position the Edge of Eternities play aid on the table within easy reach of all players.

Place all five world cards, world side face up, in the Unclaimed Worlds space on the play aid. During the match, players will be able to claim world cards from this area.

Worlds are special objects in the command zone that players can control. They aren't permanents and can't be targeted, destroyed, or exiled. If a player loses the game, any worlds they control return to the Unclaimed Worlds space on the play aid.

Players will need a supply of orbit counters during the event. These can be any countable small object (glass beads, dice, paperclips, etc.)—or create your own unique counters!

Gameplay

Set up and play follows the regular Commander format rules but players all have these additional abilities:

  • Alternate win condition: At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control all five worlds, you win the game.
  • At the beginning of your end step, if one or more opponents lost 3 or more life this turn, gain control of an unclaimed world or a world controlled by one of those opponents.
  • Whenever you cast your commander, you get an orbit counter.
  • , pay an orbit counter: choose left or right. Each player passes control of a world they control to the next player in the chosen direction. Activate only as a sorcery.

Each world card also grants a triggered ability whenever a player gains control of it and at the beginning of their upkeep while it is in their control in their command zone.
