Registration is open now through 11:59 AM ET Saturday, August 22, 2026. Decklists MUST be submitted before registration closes.
Pauper Commander (PDH) is a variant of Commander (EDH) in which decks are made up entirely of commons with the exception of the commander(s) which can be any uncommon creature, vehicle, or spacecraft (or uncommon Background if the chosen creature has "Choose a Background"). You can read the official rules and the banlist at the PDH Home Base (https://www.pdhhomebase.com/rules).
The tournament will consist of a number of Swiss rounds with a cut to to single elimination rounds based on attendance.
