The new Magic: The Gathering set takes up residence in Baldur's Gate

[glucose]

Magic returns for a second dose of Dungeons & Dragons crossover with Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate.

An old friend is returning for a visit in Magic the Gathering's new set, with Commander Legends - Battle for Baldur's Gate taking a stroll down the memory lanes of Dungeons & Dragons' most famous city.

Intended for the multiplayer Commander format, Battle for Baldur's Gate is the sequel to late 2020's original Commander Legends set. While the original Commander Legends did introduce a few troublesome cards, the set was beloved for its references to characters from Magic's past, and for delivering interesting new Commander choices. This time around, Battle for Baldur's Gate has mashed up the idea of a Commander-focused set with Magic's second crossover into D&D's Forgotten Realms world.

Whether you're a fan of the classic Baldur's Gate games, love tossing dice around the table, or just love Magic—Battle for Baldur's Gate looks like a classic in the making.

As a Commander-focused set, you won't find Battle for Baldur's Gate on MTG Arena right away, but it comes to paper on June 10, with prerelease events starting on June 3. In July, MTG Arena will get Alchemy Horizons Baldur's Gate, which will bring "hundreds of new cards" to MTG Arena, including all the bells and whistles.

So grab your 50 feet of rope and some rations and let's go on another adventure in the Forgotten Realms.

We know that Adventure is making a return for the first time since it debuted in Thrones of Eldraine.

Adventure is a powerful mechanic, allowing you the versatility of casting spells that can then be cast again as creatures. Flexibility is key, and the value you get from being able to draw—in essence—two cards in one may give Commander players some more options.

The other mechanic to return is Dice Rolling, which is another throwback to the previous D&D set: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. Cards like Wand of Wonder may lack reliability, with their unpredictable results, but they're a lot of fun to include in your 99 card Commander deck.

The last mechanics we know will return are the Gate subtype on land, and multiplayer lands. Guild gates won't be showing up, but other gates will join Baldur's Gate across the set. The multiplayer lands are a welcome reprint, being critical additions to most Commander decks that have shot up in price.
