Wizards of the Coast has announced an new event titled “Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate Draft,” set to take place from May 17–19 at local WPN game stores in the US and Canada. This event is part of the festivities commemorating the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons.
Participants in this event will explore the lore of Baldur’s Gate, with characters from the well-known “Baldur’s Gate 3” and other series staples. Players will start with a Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate Collector Booster to help build their decks. This, along with three Draft Boosters provided at the event, will be the foundation for player card pools, with all cards retained by participants.
The format for the event will be Commander Draft, where players select two cards at a time as packs are circulated, aiming to assemble a 60-card deck that includes a commander or a combination of commander and Backgrounds. Matches will be conducted in four-player pods.
A unique feature of this event will be the inclusion of an exclusive, oversized Baldur’s Gate Wilderness dungeon play aid. This card introduces new strategic decisions and potential rewards that can significantly impact the game.
Character highlights for the event include Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes, Karlach, Fury of Avernus, and the Sword Coast Sailor, adding depth and intrigue to the gameplay.
