Welcome to the biggest and most versatile 100% FREE fan-made Commander variant!

Commander Adventures gives playgroups a whole new take on implementing roleplay elements and fun ways to explore the multiverse of Magic the Gathering through a quest system designed by a team of very dedicated Commander players and judges.

The core concept of Commander Adventures is that playgroups complete objectives from a quest deck, claim their rewards and draw bounties that offer exciting perks...

...like becoming a Planechaser, unlocking planechase elements that offer a whole new subsystem of planes and phenomenons to explore...

...or becoming an Archenemy, who has powerful scaling abilities to fend off all other players in an epic “One versus All” battle.

While progressing through quests, playgroups will face challenging encounters. These encounters resemble self-controlled non-player characters who summon their own minions and use a wide variety of abilities to bring chaos into your games. Some encounters are even so strong that the whole playgroup needs to band together to defeat them.

Lastly we also implemented our very own take on very popular variants. Our Conspiracy subvariant makes introducing the "Kingdom / BANG" variant very easy, using extremly flavorful roles from the Conspiracy block.

We also added "Vanguard" designed for Commander. Our Vanguard cards are called Legacies and are heavily influenced by the ten guilds of Ravnica. Each Legacy has powerful mechanics that supplement your strategies in different ways. All our subvariants can be played with or without other Commander Adventures elements and will definetly bring your Commander nights to a whole new level!

The best part: You don't require any special decks. Everyone can bring their very own Commander decks to play this variant. Some objectives are designed with certain deck archetypes in mind, and some can be completed by any deck.

We put a lot of emphasis on using keyword abilities from throughout all of Magic the Gathering's history. So playing this variant will not only give you the option to visit the multiple worlds of Dominia, but also teach newer players long forgotten mechanics and maybe inspire new themes & tribes to build new Commander decks around!

A playgroup never knows what course their games will adopt. There are countless combinations of events that can take place leading to very fun interactions between all players and awesome stories!

Besides our Adventures sets we just recently added a new version of Planechase that resembles an easy access version of our project. Just grab the planar deck and quickly dive into some awesome games with your friends!

Upcomming projects are the The Bard's Song expansion as well as an extensive Achievement Point System for your very own Commander League (Yet to be dated) featuring general Achievements and Commander Adventures specific achievements!

If you are interested in this variant, make sure to leave a comment and tell us what you think. We're always striving to make this the greatest variant out there! If you want to support this project spread the word at your playgroup and LGS!

The idea for Commander Adventures was inspired by Command Zone Podcast #152 and the EDH League Achievement Point System presented by the Professor.

This fan project was officially given green light by WotC Support at 12/19/2017 - For Details check Disclaimer!

If anyone wants to review this on their Blog or YouTube channel, or promote it on their Facebook groups or Twitter feel free to do so! :)

Are you up to the challenge?

(This video is slightly outdated, but still gives a overlook over the concept of our variant. A more updated version will follow soon!)

The Commander Adventures Team Since we started this project in October 2017 the team around Commander Adventures keeps growing bigger and quite international! Project Owner and Card Designer: Sebastian / CommanderAdventures - Twitter: @cmdradventures Especially to Stefouch and Steeve Fontaine we owe a huge thanks! It took us almost three month to get the wording quality of each card we now have and I couldn't be more proud of the work they delivered. We reviewed every single card hundreds of times to make them judge-proof and also applied the latest Dominaria wording-changes. Achievement Point System Design is lead by Orlando League Commissioner Luan Pham. You can read about his great work here: EDHREC: Bringing Magic to Life — Creating an EDH League Besides that we have an awesome team of translators for upcomming language versions we will release one by one: Italian: Alessandro, Andrea, Gabriele, Luca

Spanish: Taylor

French: Steeve, Steph, Matthieu, Louis

Portuguese: Bruno, David, Fernando, Nikolas If you too want to join our design and/or translation team let me know! We also seek to have CA translated into german and any other language we can find good translators for!

FAQ / Rules Commander Adventures - Quick Rules (Google Drive) Card Guide To play this game you require a planar (or six-sided) die, 4-9 players, each player should have 6-8 twenty-sided dies of the same color and pen & paper to track progress of active objectives. FAQ What is a Adventures Card made of? What does a "Game Board" look like? My playgroup isn't able to complete a quest. What should we do? Should your playgroup run into a quest that is no way feasible during a match you can unanimously decide to abandon the quest and draw a new one. It's inevitable that some quests are not doable by all playgroup metas. Otherwise you can sort out any quests you don't like before starting the match. Future expansions will lever out this problem by giving you a wider range of quests you can build your quest-piles with What does "causes the destruction" on Ascension Bounties mean? The wording "causes the destruction" on Ascension Bounties refers to a "butterfly effect" - If your Meren of Clan Nel Toth resurrects a Shriekmaw who kills an opponent creature you'll get a progress counter for your Ascension Quest! - If you use Kess, Dissident Mage to cast Clone Legion from your graveyard cloning Shriekmaw who kills an opponent creature you'll get a progress counter for your Ascension Bounties! Basically: Reading the quest, explains the quest. In case of doubt (e.g. who completed the quest first) check stack rules. I hope that everything is self-explaining and that I don’t overlooked any mistakes – otherwise please report any problems you encounter. If you have any unanswered questions don't hesitate to ask in the comments below or at Twitter / Facebook! Brawl Adventures Since many players were asking: Yes, you can play Adventures in a Multiplayer Brawl game! Cards that are banned in a Brawl Adventures game: Lord of the Rings (Main Game - Since Sol Ring is not Standard legal)

(Main Game - Since Sol Ring is not Standard legal) Razia's Burden (Main Game - If there are no creature type commanders)

(Main Game - If there are no creature type commanders) If there is a planeswalker type commander I recommend not to play the "Legacy of the Paruns" expansion since we haven't added Planeswalker specific legacies yet! Everything else works the same as in a Commander Adventures game. Remember to remove any colored quest or bounty cards of the colors that aren't played or only slightly splashed in your playgroups Brawl decks! Other than that we still have to test the following rules: Start with 40 life instead of 30 to give more room for Adventures elements

Start with 3 or 4 common quests in the quest log zone instead of 5 Of course your playgroup is free to experiment in whatever way you wish with Adventure cards. If you try Brawl Adventures make sure to let me know how it worked and how you played it!

Commander Adventures - Main Game (Final) For the main game version of this expansion there are 100 Cards - 20 of each color / 60 Quests & 40 Bounties. Preview (Right-click to enlarge) Quests Bounties Tokens

Expansion: Dungeons & Dragons (Final) This expansion will also dive deeper into the adventurous board-game theme. You can either add them to the existing starter edition or exchange quests from the starter edition you don't want to play with quests from this expansion to streamline the gameplay experience for your playgroup! We will move on from color-archetype quests to neutral challenges that are very engaging and need every player to participate. There will be turn-based boss fights (that can kill you!), new characters, more playgroup-politics and of course tons of rewards! Preview (Right-click to enlarge) Quests Bounties Archenemies Tokens

Variant: Conspiracy (Final) Allied Roles are: Selvala & Adriana

& Adriana Brago & Grenzo

Expansion: Ignition (Final) This expansion will introduce Planes to Commander Adventures - The last missing card type for this game! 10 new Quests!

10 new Bounties!

70 new Planes to explore!

10 new Phenomenons to encounter! Fun-Tipp: You can just use the planes and phenomenons without any other Adventure cards / expansions, too! My playgroup tried it several times. The rules are the same as with official planechase: Every player is able to roll the planar die. Just make sure to keep the Archenemy cards like Sliver Queen and Garruk around! Preview (Right-click to enlarge) Quests Bounties Planes Archenemies Tokens

Expansion: Essentials (Final) A small mini-expansion that offers new Common quests. With this expansion we want to offer more variety to how games begin and also add some mechanics that benefit players left in an unfortunate situation of disadvantage aka "bad luck". Since Commander Adventure games begin with five common quests, many CA-players pointed out that they often start with recurring quests. Adding 10 new Common quests to the mixture should bring some fresh air into your games! Quests Tokens

Planechase (NEW - Final) Planechase: A beginner's set of Adventures Many groups had trouble diving into a complex system such as our quest system. With this set you will be able to bring all the fun that Adventures stores in a lean and well-designed Planechase set consisting of 65 planes and 10 phenomenons. The planar deck is accompanied by 2 powerful (but well-balanced) archenemy roles and many challenging Encounters. The standalone Planechase set is an easy-access version of Ignition that incorporates the best planes and phenomenons of the Adventures set plus additional brand new planes! Besides that many of the older planar cards have been optimized for a way smoother experience. Our focus, as always, was to give 100% when designing the flavor of each card and I can promise that we nailed it again. Each plane card points at certain settings and events and derives the most iconic mechanics of that era of Magic's history. So wether you are new to the Adventures project or a veteran already: This set should be fun for anyone who wants to quickly dive into some great game nights with friends!

Playgroup/LGS Achievement Point System & Commander Affixes (Upcomming - To be dated) Delayed due to size of project - Luan is still working on a comprehensive point system, check back for spoilers! :) We will be introducing a achievement point system for Commander Adventures that you can introduce to your playgroup or LGS. Each player will receive points after each game. The one with the most points at the end of a season claims the throne! (Examples: Win as archenemy; Win while on the plane "Geralf's Laboratory"; Complete the research "Planar Bridge" etc.) The achievement point system will be accompanied by another idea we had: Affixes for Commander There will be multiple affix cards that change the rules slightly to add new perspective on your Commander games. (Example: Players draw from the bottom of their libraries; The "legend rule" doesn't apply; or affixes with time counters: When no time counters left exchange all life totals at random. etc.) We will design both, general and "Commander Adventures"-specific Achievement Point System cards so you can use this system even without playing CA! Here are some visual examples:
