How long does a Commander game in Magic The Gathering take?
Short answer: too long if you ask me. But seriously, expect at least 1.5 to 2 hours, especially if there are four or more players. And that's if everyone knows what they're doing.

It really depends on how competitive your group is and how complex your decks are. A casual game with friends could last anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, but I've been in epic battles that stretched to 3+ hours. Commander games are notorious for their variability!
Honestly, it varies. My quickest game lasted around 45 minutes because we were all aggressively playing. But that's rare. Most of the time, settle in for a good 2 hours of play, especially with 4 players.
