We are super excited for the return of Commander Bash! It’s happening on Sunday, September 6th with pods launching at 11am and running on demand until 6pm. Each entry will get you booster packs of the Hobbit, store credit for achieving your personal achievements, and valuable cards for accomplishing the pod’s harder “Rare” achievements.

We want to make sure you have the chance to prep your decks and be prepared to knock out these achievements! Check out the list of achievements below and keep an eye out, as we have more and more Rare achievements being announced between now and our Grand Reopening!

“Common” Achievements

Each player will have 5 common achievements on their personal achievement slip. Each common achievement is worth $1 in store credit!

  • When casting your Commander for the first time, announce their name in the way you believe they would
  • Attack with your Commander
  • For each color in your Commander’s color identity, control a nonland permanent of that color
  • Attack with a Legendary Creature that isn’t your Commander
  • Control 7 or more lands
“Uncommon” Achievements

Each player will have 3 uncommon achievements on their personal achievement slip. Each uncommon achievement is worth $5 in store credit!

  • Attack with a creature that has power greater than or equal to the defending player’s life total
  • Control a Land, Creature, Artifact, and Enchantment
  • Attack each opponent in a single combat
  • Control 5 or more tokens and/or counters
  • Control a creature with power 7 or more
  • Spend 7 mana on a spell or ability
“Rare” Achievements

Each pod will receive a list of Rare achievements equal to the number of players plus one. Each Rare achievement is unique and is tied to a specific card reward, which means once it’s won, no other player can claim that achievement. These achievements also give a hint about the type of card you would win, so think about what cards in Magic go along with which achievements.

The average of all of the rare rewards is $18 (according to TCGPlayer.) which includes some super valuable cards! This includes exclusive secret lair cards, powerful Level 5 staples, and even a Revised Savannah!
