MTG Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate - Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald Deck Review
Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald is a new pre-constructed Commander Deck for Magic: The Gathering that is part of the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate set. The deck's focus on benefiting from exiling can be absolutely punishing, as it allows powerful cards to be played for cheap, with commanders who either summon tokens or damage the enemy while doing so. The Battle for Baldur's Gate set features a number of characters from the Baldur's Gate series, as well as from Dungeons & Dragons as a whole.
Battle for Baldur's Gate features a number of iconic characters as powerful cards, including Elminster, Tasha the Witch Queen, and Minsc the ranger, with his beloved hamster Boo.

There are cards in Battle for Baldur's Gate that designate a player as «taking the initiative», which reuses the dungeon mechanic from the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set, putting the player in a dungeon called the Undercity, allowing them to gain benefits from maintaining the initiative. If another player damages a player with the initiative, then they become the one with the initiative and can progress through the Undercity.
