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...

enter image description here

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

enter image description here

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

enter image description here

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.

enter image description here

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.

enter image description here

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!

enter image description here

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!

enter image description here

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!)

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

What is a Adventures Card made of?

enter image description here

What does a "Game Board" look like?

enter image description here

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!

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)
  • Razia's Burden (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!

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!

  • 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!

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!

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!

When you have Photoshop you can now download our Template and needed Fonts to create your very own Commander Adventure Quests. You can easily write your own Quest Name and Description, change the Quest Type Indicators (Color, Difficulty) in the Layer-Menu and drop your favorite Artwork behind the quest!

You can also create complete expansions and submit them to [email protected] and I will maybe put them up here for all followers of this project! I am really excited to see what you guys come up with!

To fully reap the benefits of a quest system I recommend to play more political decks so you can cooperate and interact better with other players in your playgroup and take more time to complete the objectives. The downside of aggressive decks is, that they move the focus from quests to their own decks and that players are forced to deal with them early on, making the games shorter and less focused on Commander Adventures itself.

So here is a small list of the decks we play. I will expand this list when I start working on more politic-centric decks.

In the Tab below you will find a complete list of well-balanced decks our playgroup uses.

enter image description here

These decks are all made on a budget between 100 Euro and 180 Euro (based on cardmarket.com prices) so everyone should be able to afford these!

If you want to create your own PreCon powerlevel deck, check out the guidelines below. Our playgroup uses these to build engaging, well-balanced and fun decks while not overextending the budget. These also allow for great use of themes in decks that don't see much play in rather competitive environments!

Of course you can take these as blueprints and upgrade them according to your preferences!

Deckbuilding Guidelines

  • Price-Range: Up to 180 Euro (Always considering the cheapest near mint english version of a card)
  • Around 3 Legendary Creatures with Commander Identity
  • Would be great if other possible Commanders are viable in the deck. Preconstructed Decks often tend to have multiple win conditions evolving around given legendary creatures. Furtherly you won't run into focussing too aggresively on one win condition like most 100%-Power Level decks do. Besides that it's nice to switch the commander sometimes to get another perspective on your deck.
  • Avoid heavy / easy tutoring like Diabolic Intent in decks that run nasty combos
  • Sol Ring allowed
  • 4-6 rare/mythic lands - We usually don't use Fetch or Alpha dual lands as these quickly increase the price tag of a deck. We use these slots for functional rare lands that work well with the decks theme or tribal.
  • Rule of thumb: Maximum of 45 nonland Rares, for each nonland Mythic -2,5 Rares (rounding up; Example: 7 Mythics -> 27 Rares allowed)
  • Avoid easy-to-pull-off infinite combs or overpowered singles that make everyone at the table hate you (Looking at you Iona, Shield of Emeria, Craterhoof Behemoth & Cathars' Crusade) or combs that lock people out from playing the game at all. (Winter Orb)
  • Try to build around flavor and / or tribal according to own taste
  • Try to avoid powerful reserved list cards

Of course I recommend to use EDHREC and Scryfall to look up cards, synergies, combs and keywords.

I do not own any artworks depicted here. The artworks were taken from various websites and properly credited to the artists at the bottom of each card. I do not have any financial interest in making this set and using these artworks should be seen as advertisement for the respective artists and their amazing work. However, if you own an artwork depicted here and don't want me to use it, notify me and I will remove it.

Everything you see here is freely accessible and unofficial. It's just a fan project that my playgroup and I created in admiration for the game and wanted to share. Commander Adventures is not meant for profit in any way. Please refrain from trying to sell any of the designs. Commander Adventures was solely made for personal use at your kitchentable.

After contacting WotC Support for an approval request, we were officially given green light to keep this fan project going!

In terms of setting up nonprofit online printing options for fans, I am going to check back with WotC at a later point. As of now we will do our best to hold the fan policy guidelines in honor!

VERY IMPORTANT: READ DISCLAIMER FIRST!

Print Sheets (For Home-/Office-/Shop-printing)

You can download all sheets for printing here including the main game and all released expansions and subvariants!

We recommend printing on 300gsm smooth card stock.

________

Single Cards with black cut-border (For Single-/Online-printing)

You can try to order these prints online, but some people reported that they encountered problems with some services since the cards show trademarked artworks and such. Sometimes it helps to link this project to these services so they can see that the cards are nonofficial and only for private use! Again: We urge everyone not to use anything from this project commercially! Commander Adventures is only meant to be played with friends at home or in your Local Gaming Store!

Please comment below if any download links are broken. Some may be down for 24h if the download traffic is exceeded. You may try another mirror or use the link next day.

Card sizes are 100% correct for 6,3cm x 8,8cm.

There are also print sheets for the Card Backs so you have an easier time keeping them separated.

If you don't have access to Photoshop for exact printing get a freeware like GIMP or visit your local print shop!

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!

Update 01/05/2018: HOTFIXES: The following quests had just minor wording changes (just some effects that said "get /keyword/" to "gain /keyword/"). Since these are Synonyms they don't affect gameplay in any way, wanted them just to be as original as possible (Thanks to Fatred for pointing these out). If you already printed Commander Adventures I advise to add these single quest to your Ignition print if you want to get the updated versions. Sorry for any circumstances!
