Burakos, Party Leader

Description

Released in 2022, Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate brings the rich lore of the Dungeons & Dragons universe into the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This release is particularly notable for introducing the Background mechanic, allowing players to select a second commander to accompany their primary leader. Burakos, Party Leader stands out as a versatile Legendary Creature — Orc with a mana cost of {3}{B} and a power/toughness of 2/4. Uniquely, this card also holds the creature types of Cleric, Rogue, Warrior, and Wizard, making it a flexible asset in any deck construction. The gameplay of Burakos centers on the Party mechanic. Whenever this creature attacks, the defending player loses X life, and you create X Treasure tokens, where X is determined by the number of creatures in your party. This dual effect of dealing damage and generating mana resources makes the card a strategic centerpiece for commanders who utilize the Background rule. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards often seek out specific rarities to enhance their sets, and this foil variant offers a distinct visual appeal with its shimmering finish. Art by Caroline Gariba, this card is identified by set code CLB and card number 622. The foil treatment adds a layer of prestige to the Mythic Rare designation, appealing to enthusiasts who value both the mechanical utility and the aesthetic presentation of their cards. Whether you are building a deck around the Background mechanic or simply collecting key artifacts from the Baldur's Gate crossover, this card represents a significant piece of the 2022 Commander Legends expansion. Enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game frequently reference this release when discussing the integration of D&D themes into competitive and casual play environments.
