A Commander Party is a WPN-organized event introduced in 2022 for Innistrad: Double Feature. It is a one-day event where players are immersed in a story affected by their in-game choices, offering an opportunity for newer players to participate in a casual in-store event and get absorbed in the world of Magic.[1][2][3]

Description

Participating stores receive participation promos, a game board (a 8” by 24” dry erase poster), instructions, all-new player bonuses, and/ or party aids.[4][5]

The setup is based on a narrative tale. Players, who are split into pods, experience the story from beginning to end during the event. Players only need a Commander deck to participate.

Each player receives a card, assigning them to a faction. Throughout the event, a video guiding the players through the story will ask the player with the most of a resource to raise their faction card in the air—the faction with the most raised cards moves forward a space on the game board, where each space provides an in-game bonus for all players in that faction.[6]

Originally only WPN Premium stores could participate. Starting with The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, Commander Party events were expanded to all WPN stores.[7]
