First off, wrong forum -- this is for the card game, not the RPG. I've flagged the thread to be moved, but considering this is Thanksgiving break, I don't expect that to happen until Monday.

With that out of the way, XP depends on the CR of the encounter. I assume the commander had 10 PC class levels (as opposed to 10 NPC class levels, which would lower the CR). Assuming it had 10 PC levels, and that was the only thing you fought, the encounter was likely a CR 9. Things such as templates could modify this, so 9 is the baseline. If it had 10 NPC class levels instead, it would be CR 8. A CR 9 encounter would award 6400 XP to the group whereas a CR 8 encounter would award 4800. That XP is then split among every player, so for a CR 9 encounter and a 4 player party, each player would earn 1600 XP.
