Wizards of the Coast, the world's leading video game creative company, announced today that Magic: The Gathering (MTG), the original strategy trading card game with over 40 million players and fans worldwide, will release its newest set Leadership Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate" will be released on Friday, June 17, 2022.
The second "Commander's Legends" set is a collaboration with the original TRPG "Dungeon & Dragons"!
The casual multiplayer format of "Leadership Games" is based on building a deck with a "legendary creature" as the "leader" of the deck.
The "Leader Legends " is a special set that includes many popular cards and new cards with exciting text for this format.
The second set, the first in a year and a half, is a collaboration with Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), the world's first role-playing game!
The set is set in "Baldur's Gate", the background world of D&D!
Mechanisms!
Choose your original leader! "Background Choice".
Some of the legendary creatures in the game have the new " background selection " feature, which allows you to select additional "background" cards as your leader.
Multiple backgrounds can be selected from a single card.
From the point of view of leadership, it is an interesting element to be able to freely add color to a single-color leader, but from the point of view of D&D and other TRPG players, it is a wonderful mechanism, a TRPG collaboration that is reminiscent of character creation!
A new dungeon, "Underground City Exploration," is now available!
The "Dungeon Exploration" mechanism from the previous D&D collaboration pack "Forgotten Realm Exploration" is now available again in a new form!
The new dungeon is called " Underground City " and can only be explored by gaining " Initiative ".
Instead of being harder to explore, it is more powerful than the previous dungeon, but it also has its disadvantages!
In order to "explore the underground city," you must first gain "initiative" through some ability, and once you gain it, you can "explore the underground city" once.
The player with "initiative" can "Search Underground City" again at the beginning of his or her upkeep, but if an opponent is dealt combat damage, that opponent gains "initiative "!
This is similar to the "ruler" rule, where the advantage goes to the player who attacked!
It is a fun game only in a leadership game to have multiple opponents attack each other over the "initiative"!
From a TRPG player's point of view, it is interesting that the initiative over the order of attack in combat is expressed in this way in a card game!
A dragon cycle that references d20 stakes!
This is a little bit different from the new mechanism, but the cards with "d20" in the "Forgotten Realm Exploration" so far have been "1-10", "11-19", "20", and "20", and if the roll of the 20-sided die is over a certain number, they have an additional effect. Many of the cards with "d20" had an additional effect if the roll of the 20-sided die was above a certain level.
The dragons in this issue have the dynamic effect of reflecting the roll of d20 as it is!
If the roll of the dice exceeds 10, there is an explosive development, and if the roll is 1, there is no effect at all.
Just one more roll and the game is in turmoil, and so on.
With these dragons, the battle for leadership is sure to be a lot of fun! These dragons are of wonderful design!
D&D's unique "rulebook" version is now available again!
The " Rulebook " frames that appeared in the "Forgotten Realm" are back!
In addition, a shiny " Etching Foil " version is also included!
The "rulebook" version is for D&D fans, while the "etched foil" version is for MTG fans.
All of the designs are so tasteful, it's hard to decide which one to use!
Watch the legendary hamster "Boo" in action!
A promotional video featuring a real hamster as "B oo," the miniature giant space hamster pet of the beloved Ranger Minsk, is now available on MTG's official YouTube channel! MTG's official YouTube channel!
Sometimes he helps you choose a rare from a pack, sometimes he lets you draw a card to counterattack, sometimes he struggles to make the die roll bigger....
It would be a foul play if he could really do it, but I guess it's okay for casual leadership games!
Come on, please Boo! Come to me too!
Japan only! The legendary hamster enjoys a leadership battle!
The legendary hamster "Boo" and his hamster friends are now playing Legends of Leadership on the official MTG Japan Twitter (@mtgjp )!
Watch out for Boo as he follows Minsk's instructions and puts away his cards!
You can pre-order "Commander's Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate" now at Amazon.co.jp and other retailers!
Please note that Amazon will be releasing the book a day later, on Saturday, June 18, 2022!
