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.)
Choose a Background (You can have a Background as a second commander.)

Where it came from
Durnan of the Yawning Portal was released in 2022 as part of the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate expansion. The card represents a legendary figure from the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms setting, specifically the proprietor of the iconic Yawning Portal tavern in Waterdeep. The set was designed to integrate D&D lore into the mechanics of the Commander format, featuring characters who serve as guides or hosts within the game's high-fantasy landscape.
The card's art was created by illustrator Anna Steinbauer, who sought to capture Durnan's seasoned and vigilant nature as a former adventurer turned guardian of the passage to Undermountain. The design emphasizes his role as a partner, utilizing the 'Choose a Background' mechanic to reflect his collaborative history with other heroes. The card was well-received by fans of the Dungeons & Dragons crossover for its thematic accuracy and its functional utility in multi-player deck compositions.
