Next date: October 9, 2026 →All CJ Sports MTG Casual Commander — Friday, October 30 dates · Card shows in New Mexico
The last Friday of August brings Magic: The Gathering Casual Commander back to CJ Sports and Collectibles on Friday, August 28, 2026, with tables open 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM Mountain Time inside Cottonwood Mall. End-of-month Fridays at CJ Sports tend to run late and loose — school is back in session, the summer travel crowd is home, and the evening pods often stretch right up to closing.
The northwest-side location is convenient from Rio Rancho, Corrales, Paradise Hills, and the whole west mesa, and it comes with free, plentiful mall parking. Store hours run 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Saturday and 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM Sunday.
Practical tips: get there before 6:00 PM if you want maximum pod choice, bring a deck box, sleeves, dice, and a playmat, carry cash or card for singles pickups, and say clearly what your deck does before the game starts.
