Maro’s Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate Teaser
Before previews for Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate officially begin, I thought it would be fun to do another of my Duelist-style teasers where I give tiny hints of things to come. Note that I’m only giving you partial information.
First up, here are some things you can expect:
• a returning mechanic that feels apropos for D&D makes use of a new card type
• a card capable of making an Ox, Boar, or Goat
• the word “seven” appears on two cards and the word “nine” appears on one
• a new legendary colorless artifact token named Volo’s Journal
• a 10/10 creature with flying and trample that you can cast for G
• a lord for Demons, Devils, Imps, and Tieflings
• the character we got a lot of complaints about not being in Adventures in the Forgotten Realms gets a card
• three legendary creatures that are Gods
• a card that enhances all creatures with mana abilities
• a spell that can copy something X times
Next, here are some rules text that will be showing up on cards:
• “This spell costs 1 less to cast for each opponent you’re attacking.”
• “That artifact becomes a 0/0 Homunculus artifact creature with flying.”
• “Whenever you cast a spell you don’t own,”
• “If you control neither creature, draw three cards.”
• “you don’t lose the game for having 0 or less life.”
• “Tokens you control have ‘T:”
• “Then choose a third player”
• “where X is the total mana value of Dragons you control.”
• “put a number of time counters on it equal to its mana value.”
• “you may cast your commander from the command zone without paying its mana cost.”
Here are some flavor words in the set:
• Devour Intellect
• Homunculus Servant
• Bigby’s Hand
• Gathered Swarm
• Avoidance
• Vicious Mockery
• Blood Drain
• Mantel of Inspiration
• Animate Chains
• Death Ray
Finally, here are some creature type lines in the set:
• Legendary Creature – Halfling Knight
• Legendary Creature – Tiefling Barbarian
• Legendary Creature – Gith Warrior
• Legendary Creature – Dragon Peasant
• Legendary Creature – Vampire Elf Rogue
• Legendary Creature – Bear Warrior
• Legendary Creature – Devil Noble
• Legendary Creature – Human Boar
• Legendary Creature – Cat Devil
• Legendary Creature – Elephant Angel
