CommandFest is back for the March of the Machine Prereleases!

For all Commander lovers who have their eyes set on the March of the Machine prerelease, particularly on the upcoming Commander decks, 5 in total, you can rest easy! The March of the Machine Prerelease events will feature the first return of the popular Commander event, CommandFest, in 2023!

This event usually spans a whole weekend, and features casual and competitive events for Commander play. It can include different events, attractions, guests and Quests, and swag, for MTG players from around the world. A few of the past events include Planechase, Brawl, Oathbreaker, Battlebond, and Two-Headed Giant variants.

This year, CommandFest will be held alongside the March of the Machine prerelease, which means players will be able to participate in the Commander-focused events and the new set events at the same time!

The dates and locations for CommandFest are:

April 14–16 in Richmond, Virginia, hosted by Star City Games

April 14–16 in Indianapolis, Indiana, hosted by Pastimes Games

April 14–16 in Orlando, Florida, hosted by CoolStuffInc.com

April 14–16 in Seattle, Washington, hosted by Laughing Dragon

Upcoming CommandFests

Not only will this be the first of many CommandFests happening throughout 2023, it was also announced that the popular Lord of the Rings Set would also feature a CommandFest alongside the prerelease, so we can expect the same event to happen mid-year, around May or June, which is when this set is rumored to be released.

The announcement also hinted at future events happening "all over the world", so maybe there will be events for non-USA based MTG fans and players.
