CommandFests were introduced by WotC in partnership with Star City Games and ChannelFireball prior to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. The event was also paired with MagicFests, providing tabletop Magic players a variety of gameplay experiences at a live event. These events were halted due to COVID-19 but WotC is bringing back CommandFests around the time that Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate launches on June 10. 

WotC has not released any specific dates for CommandFests at time of writing, and it’s likely MagicFests will also return around the same time. It is unknown, at this time, whether CommandFest Online will return. The return of CommandFests will correlate with the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate release, allowing players to Draft from the CL set while also playing a variety of Commander events.

Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate is the second CL set since WotC introduced it in 2020. Similar to the previous CL set, the release will feature a prerelease Draft with booster packs with 20 cards and each player in a pod drafting from three booster packs. Rules for the prerelease Draft of Battle for Baldur’s Gate will remain the same. 

Wizards previewed several MTG cards within the Commander Legends Baldur’s Gate, including Battlebond lands, Reflecting Pool, an elder dragon cycle, a Minsc & Boo planeswalker, and a reprint of Lightning Bolt.
