Magic: The Gathering - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Commander Event

Celebrate the release of the new The Hobbit set with a special Commander event where every player secretly takes on the role of a legendary character, each with their own hidden victory condition. Outsmart your opponents, forge unlikely alliances, and decide carefully who to trust—because anyone at the table could already be playing to win in a completely different way.

Date: Sunday 9th August

Time: 3:00PM

Entry: $10

Format: Casual Commander...with a twist:

Each player secretly draws a role at the start of the game (Don't worry we'll have a handy info sheet for you on the day!)

Bilbo Baggins

Objective: Control your commander at the end of your turn on the 9th turn cycle to win the game.

Thorin Oakenshield
