Greetings, everyone! Welcome to The Commander Tavern! I am Demented Kirby and this is the 11th episode of one of the series on this channel, Barkeep Upkeep.

This episode is to inspire playgroups to develop their own "commander league" so they can still feel like they're part of events and things like that even though most playgroups have to play online. Here's the current bonus/penalty list I'm currently tinkering with:
