Friday, August 21, 2026 is Casual Commander free play at Decked Trading Cards in Rio Rancho, running 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM Mountain Time. Four hours of open Magic: The Gathering pod play, no entry list, no round clock, and no prize wall — just tables, players, and however many games you can fit before the store shuts the lights off.
Decked Trading Cards is at 3301 Southern Boulevard SE, Suite 403, Rio Rancho, NM 87124. Free parking sits directly outside the storefront on the Southern Boulevard corridor, and the drive from northwest Albuquerque, Corrales, or Bernalillo is short. Friday store hours are 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM — the longest day of the week — so you can arrive early, browse, get food, and come back for the 6:00 PM start without any awkward gap.
Arrive close to 6:00 PM for the most pod options — later arrivals still get games, but the best-matched tables form early. Schedule at deckedtradingcards.com/local-events.
