CommandFests debuted in 2019 with three events across Seattle, Chicago, and Washington, DC. They were intended as celebrations of Magic and featured a bunch of formats, both Commander and Commander-inspired, such as Planechase, Brawl, Oathbreaker, Battlebond, and Two-Headed Giant. Like other in-person Magic events, CommandFests were forced to go on hiatus over the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but they’re primed for a comeback with a significantly expanded schedule for the Summer of 2022.
