The distribution of cards in the deck is divided into 40 lands, which can be a large number for commander decks, nine artifact cards, eight enchantment cards, 17 sorceries and instant spells, and 26 creatures, which ultimately complete the deck. It should be noted that it is a nice Easteregg for the lore of the deck to include a barbarian who is widely known in the Forgotten Realms for slaying a white dragon and stealing its hoard. Thus, Wulfgar fits into many green-red decks that are aggressive and rely on effects triggered by and in combat phases. His ability is a strong support for the rest of the deck and its play style – no matter if Wulfgar is played as commander or regular creature – because every triggered Ability of a permanent, which is triggered by attacking creatures, is effected another time. The third commander possibility is Wulfgar of Icewind Dale, a legendary barbarian penned by R. Combined with Skyship Stalker or Scourge of Valkas, this ability has deadly potential. In a deck named after dragons, a large mana pool provides the basis for strengthening your board and generating high attack power.

This cost seems very high, but it is compensated by his ability.Įach time Klauth attacks, the player controlling him may add X mana to his mana pool in any colour combination, where X is the total power of the attacking creatures. For seven mana, 5RG, you can put this dragon, equipped with haste and flying, into play. The mechanics of this legendary creature head in a completely different direction than those of Vrondiss. The second possible commander is a legendary dragon, Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient. Thus, the Commander can be played both passively-defensively and actively-aggressively. Once a die is rolled, Vrondiss inflicts a point of damage on himself, this triggers his main ability to put a 5/4 green-red Dragon Spirit token into play each time he is dealt damage with the addition of “When this creature deals damage, sacrifice it.” is put into play. Vrondiss ability is based on self-inflicting damage and is also linked to dice.

This commander is based on a mechanic that is more focused in the Dungeons&Dragons edition, the rolling of a die. The main commander of the “dragon-themed” deck is Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients, a green-red dragon barbarian (3RG). Also, again included is a life point counter, ranging from 0 to 40. The light effect on the scales is designed in the colours that the respective commander possesses. A draconic scale armour covers the front and back of the deck box, matching the Dungeons and Dragons theme. If you take a first look at the packaging of the respective set, the first thing that catches your eye is the unusual design. The four decks are called Planar Portal, Dungeons of Death, Draconic Rage and Aura of Courage.

Two of these decks, which have already been released, will be examined in the following article. In the course of the big Magic the Gathering spoiler for the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms-edition, the first cards for four Commander decks were presented in advance.
