Will of The Absolute Super Sized Commander Draft Party - May 18, 2024

Join us for an afternoon of playing Commander, with a twist!

Entry:  $25

Format:  Super Sized Draft- Each Player will be given a Battle for Baldur’s Gate Collector pack and 5 Battle for Baldur’s Gate draft packs.  Special Instructions:  Once in drafting pods, before we start drafting in full, each player will be able to open their collector pack, review the contents and then add the entirety of the pack into their card pool (The collector pack will not be drafted).  From there, drafting will proceed, with each player drafting TWO cards each pick.  

The Absolute has heard rumors of so called “Heroes” rising against them in Baldur’s Gate.  They have tasked you, their greatest spellcasters, with hunting down and retrieving the heads of:

• Astarion, the Decadent
• Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy
• Halsin, Emerald Archdruid
• Jaheira, Friend of the Forest
• Karlach, Fury of Avernus
• Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion
• Minsc and Boo, Timeless Heroes
• Minthara, Merciless Soul
• Shadowheart, Dark Juusticiar
• Wyll, Blade of Frontiers
  

Be the first player during the drafting phase to locate AND draft the above listed cards to earn a bounty of 1 Collector Booster Pack.  Only the first player for each “hero” can earn the bounty, and each player may only claim ONE bounty.  

Special Drafting Rules for Commander Legends:  

-Players may proxy The Prismatic Piper as one of their Commanders.  Prismatic Piper is a Legendary Creature – Shapeshifter, 3/3 with a cost of 5.  “If The Prismatic Piper is your commander, choose a color before the game begins.  The Prismatic Piper is the Chosen Color./  Partner (You can have two commanders if both have partner.).  Your other commander choice will count as having “Partner” as well. 
-Singleton rule does not apply. 
-Decks must be a minimum of 60 cards.

Once drafting is done we’ll take 25 min for deck building.  Once decks are ready to go we’ll set the tables up for commander play with the new “Baldur’s Gate Wilderness” dungeon cards provided by Wizards of The Coast!  Like the commander party for Baldur’s Gate, games played the day of the event will have “The Initiative” available to advance through the dungeon.  “Whenever one or more creatures a player controls deal combat damage to you, that player takes the initiative.  Whenever you take the initiative and at the beginning of your upkeep, venture into Baldur’s Gate Wilderness.  (If you’re in a dungeon, advance to the next room.  If you’re not, enter Baldur’s Gate Wilderness.  You can take the initiative even if you already have it.)

Once decks are ready to go we’ll help players find pods to play and we’ll have fun until the shop closes, or you get bored!
