Where it came from
Descent into Avernus was released in 2022 as part of the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate expansion. This set was designed to bridge the gap between the popular Dungeons & Dragons tabletop roleplaying game and the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, specifically focusing on the iconic city of Baldur's Gate and the planar travel associated with the Nine Hells. The card serves as an enchantment that mechanically represents the descent of the city into the first layer of the Nine Hells, a central plot point in the 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons adventure module of the same name.
The card’s illustration was crafted by artist Lie Setiawan, who utilized a dramatic, fiery aesthetic to capture the chaos of the infernal landscape. The design aimed to create a shared experience for players, forcing opponents to take damage and gain treasures as the game progresses. It was well-received by the Commander community for its ability to speed up games and generate excitement, fitting seamlessly into red-aligned decks that benefit from aggressive resource generation and damage-over-time effects.
