Bracket 3 Commander with a limited deck budget

Game: Magic: The Gathering

Event name: Budget Commander

Tournament format: Commander - Swiss

Maximum number of players: 16

Date and time: 11 September 2026 at 17:30

Registration price: €7

Official registration platform: Companion

Allowed bracket: Bracket 3

Maximum deck value: €100

The main feature of this tournament is its Budget Commander approach. Every participant must prepare a deck that remains within Bracket 3 and does not exceed a total value of €100. The budget restriction makes deck construction part of the challenge itself: rather than simply selecting expensive staples, players will need to find effective synergies, affordable alternatives and a reliable structure around their chosen commander.

This format gives less obvious cards an opportunity to shine and rewards players who know their decks well. Refining the mana base, making every slot count and deciding which pieces deserve a larger share of the available budget can all make a meaningful difference before the opening round even begins.

Participation material and ranking prizes

Every player will receive material included with their registration. Taking part in Budget Commander includes 1 promotional card and 1 The Hobbit booster pack, regardless of the result achieved during the tournament.

Players finishing in the highest positions will also receive Booster Packs as prizes. No separate additional winner prize has been confirmed.

Participation material: 1 promotional card + 1 The Hobbit booster pack.

Top prizes: Booster Pack for the top positions.

Winner prize: To be confirmed.

The €100 restriction means every list must find its own way to generate value without simply relying on the format's most expensive cards. Expect games where deck construction, Commander politics, resource management and knowing when to become the table's main threat can all influence the result.

How to validate your Budget Commander place

To correctly confirm your registration, please complete the following steps:
