March ’26 at The Gathering Place

March 3, 2026
9:33 am

As always, you can find details on events at store happening at The Gathering Place on our Events Page and listed on the Monthly Event Calendar we’ve got going on a Google Sheet but, for clarity and ease of access, here’s a breakdown of the month! 

The best place to stay up to date with TGP and informed on what we’re up to is on the TGP Discord server, so we’ll see you over there if you’re not already in, and we’ll see you in the shop this March!


This March at TGP


March Madness Chaos MTG Commander League

Each player in the March Madness Chaos Commander League will pay a set price for their preconstructed starter deck, with that prize set as the average of all possible decks in the pool. Deck assignment will be random. Each player starts with three Chaos Packs pulled from the deepest depths of the TGP Card Dungeon, and week-over-week packs will be pulled at random from a big ol’ box full of booster packs we’ll be personally stocking for the League and making available to League Players only at a fixed price per pack. High value, low friction, zero predictability, all gas, no brakes.

  • Tuesday, 3/3 — League begins! Meetups at TGP every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday during regular Commander pod play.
  • Sunday, 3/22 — League Party and pre-tournament, for seeding in the finale
  • Saturday, 3/28 — League Finale Tournament

All the details on Chaos League, right here!
