Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate is already near release with hundreds of references to Dungeons & Dragons in the Magic: The Gathering crossover. Mixing the recent sets Adventures in the Forgotten Realms with Commander Legends has allowed Wizards of the Coast to create some flavorful and powerful designs that may have use outside of the popular casual format.

In Battle for Baldur’s Gate, not only are there commanders that support Adventures and Backgrounds, there’s also commanders that care about stealing other player’s spells and giving other players creatures.
