What is Play-Your-Way?

With a Command Con Badge, you'll get unlimited pairings all weekend long.
You can request custom pods with friends or join the queue to get podded up on demand.
Play-Your-Way pods are how we help match players up so that everyone has a great time playing Commander.
Instead of putting together pods based on power level, points system, or game changers, Play-Your-Way pods are set up based on how you like to play.

There are 4 different play-your-way pods that you can queue up for all weekend long- Green, Yellow, Orange and Red

Green Pods
    - New Players / People who like playing with new players
     - Playing with a Precon Commander Deck or about that power level
     - Green Players have fun while learning and reading new cards and don't mind if the game takes a bit longer of if something needs to be explained
          - For Example
          - Green Players are ok with other players needing to read everyone's cards, announcing what they are playing and what effect it will have.
          - Green Pods usually end over the course of a lot of combat steps and attacking since no one will have any instant win or infinite combos.

Yellow Pods

Yellow players have fun by playing the game!
     - Experienced Players
     - Playing with any power level of deck
     - Yellow Players have fun playing a long "casual" game of commander
     - Instead of restricting power level, banning cards or combos, or other ways to match players up, players are matched by intention.
     - If you're a Yellow Player, you prefer to play a good clean game of commander where everyone has a chance to do something cool
          - For Example 
          - This might look like choosing not to play an infinite combo because it's too early in the game, or using a tutor for something "fun/cool" instead of game ending.
               - Of course, games have to end eventually, so if everyone's played a decent number of turns and had some fun, then by all means go infinite or tutor up a game ending win con :-)

Orange Pods

    - Experienced Players
    - Playing with a high power deck
    - Orange Players have fun by playing, but love to play decks that win
    - Instead of restricting power level, banning cards or combos, or other ways to match players up, players are matched by intention.
      - If you're an Orange Player, you prefer a medium to long-ish game of commander with high interaction
          - For Example
               - Orange Players will usually have a deck that can win in the first few turns of the game, or one that can stop other players from winning that quickly, but they prefer to play a longer less competitive game

 Red Pods
     - Experienced Players
     - Playing with a high power deck
     - Red Players have fun by winning
     - If you're a Red Player, you prefer a quick game of commander with high interaction
          - For Example
          - Red Players will usually have a deck that can win in the first few turns of the game, or one that can stop other players from winning that quickly
          - Win or Lose, there are no hard feelings in a Red Pod if you get knocked out before you even play your commander - you'll get 'em next time :-)

cEDH Pods

     - Experienced Players
     - Playing with the highest power decks, cEDH tier
     - cEDH Players have fun by winning in the most optimal way possible
     - If you're a cEDH Player, you know who you are :-)

In addition to offering cEDH Pods as part of the Unlimited Queue, Command Con will also offer Winner Take All Pods for players who want to really test their deck and skill. Winner Take All Pods are available On Demand for anyone with a Command Con Badge, but due to their prize structure they do have an entry fee of either $10 or 100tix.
