EDH/Commander Casual

Badger Badger Gaming is running another Commander night on Wednesday 11 November, part of a regular Magic: The Gathering programme that keeps the format going across the autumn. It's a casual night, so you bring your own 100-card deck and jump into a four-way brawl with three other players. If you're new to Commander, that's the format where each player has their own deck built around a single legendary creature, and the games are played as a multiplayer free-for-all rather than head-to-head.

This isn't a one-off, either. The venue runs these nights throughout October and November — 28, 30 October, then 4, 6, 11, 13, 18, 20, 25 and 27 November — so if you can't make this particular Wednesday, there are plenty of other dates to pick from. It's part of a wider Magic programme they put on for both beginners and veterans, which covers Commander alongside Draft and Pauper.

Badger Badger Gaming operates out of two locations, Deptford and West Norwood, and runs more than 30 gaming events every month across the two. The Magic nights sit alongside weekly board game socials and beginner-friendly Dungeons & Dragons sessions. There's also a Queer events series run by the venue's queer events organiser, Eva, which they describe as a safe and inclusive space for the LGBTQ+ community and allies. They recently marked the venue's fifth birthday with a free gaming social.

This session is at the West Norwood site, 543 Norwood Rd, SE27 9DW, and runs from 18:30 to 23:00. Entry is £8.00.
