What it does
Whenever Durnan attacks, look at the top four cards of your library. You may exile a creature card from among them. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order. For as long as that card remains exiled, you may cast it. That spell has undaunted. (It costs 1 generic mana less to cast for each opponent.)

Where it came from
Durnan of the Yawning Portal was released in 2022 as part of the Magic: The Gathering expansion Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate. The card depicts the iconic proprietor of the Yawning Portal inn, a legendary figure in Dungeons & Dragons lore who guards the entrance to the vast Undermountain dungeon beneath Waterdeep. This printing was designed to serve as a partner commander, allowing players to build decks that integrate Durnan’s ability to cheat creature cards onto the battlefield, reflecting his role as a seasoned adventurer and innkeeper.
The artwork was created by illustrator Matt Stewart, who aimed to capture the weathered authority of the character. Stewart emphasizes Durnan’s rugged appearance and signature equipment, placing him within the familiar, dimly lit atmosphere of his famous establishment. The card was well-received by the player base for its thematic resonance with Dungeons & Dragons history and its unique mechanical synergy, which encourages an aggressive playstyle centered on playing creatures from the top of the library.
