Four Horsemen Comics and Gaming in Morgantown hosts a casual Magic: The Gathering Commander night focused on friendly, accessible multiplayer play. Bring a deck you have built or pick up a preconstructed option at the store. Commander revolves around selecting a legendary creature as your leader, then building a 100 card deck that matches its color identity. With singleton rules for everything except basic lands and access to cards from across Magic’s history, games are set in four player pods and typically run about 20 minutes per participant. Entry is free. Players who sign in to the sanctioned event through EventLink using the Magic Companion app are eligible for a random promo card from a pool of mystery cards.
