Where it came from
Descent into Avernus was originally printed as a rare card in the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate expansion, released in 2022. The card is based on the Dungeons & Dragons campaign module of the same name, which centers on the infernal city of Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells. Its design reflects the chaotic and dangerous nature of the setting, rewarding players for engaging in the high-stakes combat emblematic of the D&D adventure.
The card features artwork by the illustrator Zezhou Chen, who utilized a dramatic, fiery color palette to capture the oppressive atmosphere of the Hells. As part of The List—a curated selection of reprints inserted into Set Boosters—this specific version functions as an inclusion intended to bring older or thematic favorites back into circulation. It has been well-regarded by Commander players for its ability to speed up games and encourage aggressive playstyles.
