Rilsa Rael, Kingpin is a solid build-around commander that’s all about completing the Undercity as fast as possible. If you’re in Boros without Liara, Ellyn Harbreeze, Busybody, Lulu, Loyal Hollyphant, Amber Gristle O’Maul, and Gut, True Soul Zealot all have some play with the myriad mechanic and can be combined with backgrounds like Inspiring Leader and Tavern Brawler to decent effect. One last point on Liara is that it actually reduces the cost of your adventures thanks to its specific wording (“cards you cast from exile this turn cost X less”). You’ll also want some evasive creatures, a bit of mana ramp, and a couple of "pack tactics" to blow out opponents who block your myriad tokens. The key to making it work is the myriad mechanic, so you’ll want to value Genasi Enforcers, Tabaxi Toucaneers, and Tiamat’s Fanatics quite highly. Liara is a potent card advantage engine for a proactive deck that also generates quite a bit of mana. Commander Liara Portyr: Boros Myriadīoros tends to be a bit of a dog in Commander, so I’m very pleased with how great of a commander Commander Liara Portyr is. Azorius can also lean more on dungeon themes or unblockable if you’d like. Worthy background and commander combos for this theme are Abdel Adrian, Gorion’s Ward plus Candlekeep Sage and Alora, Merry Thief plus Far Traveler (stack the triggers so Alora is second). Speaking of blinking, some of the best cards for flickering are Icewind Stalwart and Pegasus Guardian. The best creatures to flicker are Roving Harper and Winter Eladrin, but there are plenty of other decent targets like Dawnbringer Cleric, Goliath Paladin, Scouting Hawk, Aarakocra Sneak, and Sea Hag (blink it on their turn). Oji, the Exquisite Blade is great, but its theme is one that’s pretty easy to build around with various other commanders and backgrounds. Oji, the Exquisite Blade: Azorius Flicker Ellyn Harbreeze, Busybody plus Cloakwood Hermit/ Master Chef or Jaheira, Friend of the Forest and Inspiring Leader both sound better than just Cadira to me. ![]() Selesnya Tokens depends less on Cadira to be a cohesive strategy when compared to Izzet Dragons. Cadira, Caller of the Small’s take is that more is better, so you want cards like Recruitment Drive and You’re Confronted by Robbers and some ways to connect with Cadira itself ( Cloak of the Bat is a favorite). ![]() Tokens are a well-supported theme in Battle for Baldur’s Gate that can be approached from a few different angles. Cadira, Caller of the Small: Selesnya Tokens Renari, Merchant of Marvels or Vhal, Candlekeep Researcher, plus a red background are passable imitations if you want to build a deck around this theme but don’t have Lozhan. Lozhan, Dragon’s Legacy caring about adventures makes dragons like Sword Coast Serpent, Young Blue Dragon, and Fang Dragon into premium commons for this deck. Dragons make for a great theme supported by cards like Draconic Lore, Lapis Orb of Dragonkind, Breath Weapon, and Ganax, Astral Hunter. Lozhan, Dragons’ Legacy: Izzet Dragons/Adventuresīlue, red, and green have the most dragons in the set, so Izzet is one of three color pairs that can be built around the creature type. But what’s especially notable about these themes is that they’re generally interchangeable with certain commanders and backgrounds. These are two-color uncommons that are seeded in a set to showcase viable strategies for a two-color pair and highlight common themes.īattle for Baldur’s Gate has these in the form of legendary uncommons that make for great commanders. Most intermediate drafters should be well aware of the concept of “signpost uncommons” by now. I normally write limited guides for Draftsim (where you can also practice this set), but today I’m here on Magic Untapped to help you be the last one standing in your pod! Know the Two-Color Archetypes I want to help you cut through this unease and get the most out of your Commander Legends: Dungeons & Dragons - Battle for Baldur’s Gate draft decks. ![]() As a bizarre hybrid of Draft and Commander, Commander Legends Draft can be tricky to get the hang of.
