Wizards of the Coast announced A Villainous Halloween, a new Magic: The Gathering Commander in-store WPN event, which can be scheduled through August 15, 2025. 

The event offers players a twist on traditional Commander play. Players will bring their own Commander decks to play, and secretly choose a Villain card (which represents classic villains from Magic's history) each with a secret objective to fulfill; the secret objective adds a win condition. Once the objective is completed and a player reveals their villain, the other four players in the pod must defeat the player with the revealed villain or they each lose the game at the end of their next turn. 

WotC will supply a pack of event materials for each player to take home once the event ends (while supplies last), so they can replay the event, if they like, at home. The pack comes with Villain cards and play aids.
