Commander Legends Series
The following text is taken from the Wizards of the Coast website for Magic the Gathering: Commander Legends:
"Welcome, adventurer! Have you travelled with your party—companions to share and create stories with—in Faerûn? Perhaps you've made friends and foes in a faraway land, with challenges and rewards to follow? Maybe you're hungry to discover something new, both familiar and fresh on a journey you least expected?
Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate brings the style and flavor of Dungeons & Dragons to the original and best strategy card game, Magic: The Gathering—and we're ready to share this adventure with you.
Magic: The Gathering is a strategy card game with thousands of unique and collectible cards. You build a deck to play with friends in a variety of formats and player totals, from head-to-head, team, and cooperative play to however else you can imagine. Each game plays out wildly different from the last! The unexpected should be expected, and every time you play, you can change your cards and plans, reacting to what you learn and plotting how to take down your next adversary.
Magic reaches across the tabletop into your computer and phone too with the digital platform MTG Arena available anywhere, anytime you want to play.
Similar to Dungeons & Dragons, there are multiple settings and locations—planes—available to explore through Magic sets. The core rules remain the same between sets, but the flavor, style, mechanics available on cards, and more can vary wildly. Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate is our next Magic release—available at your local game store, online retailers such as Amazon, and more—and uses the setting of Baldur's Gate, one of the most famous locations in Faerûn. It's designed for group play with the Commander and Commander Draft formats, but its cards and mechanics will work with other Magic formats as well—just like mixing and matching your favorite elements from Dungeons & Dragons supplements.
WHAT IS THE "COMMANDER" FORMAT?Commander is an incredibly popular way to play Magic that typically starts with four players, each building a deck around a legendary creature—their "commander"—and battling in a turn-based, free-for-all showdown. You might think of building a commander deck a little like building your D&D character, with your commander as your hero and the spells and creatures you choose representing all the little choices that make up that character."
