Description
The Roll for Initiative // Roll for Initiative (cont'd) card is a specialized double-faced token from the 2022 Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate Minigames set. Designed specifically for casual play, this piece introduces a unique minigame experience that diverges from standard Magic: The Gathering mechanics. It allows players to engage in a collaborative, fast-paced session using a standard 20-sided die alongside Magic cards, bridging the gap between tabletop roleplaying and card game strategy. As card number 1 in the set, it serves as the entry point for the minigame's core loop. The front face sets the stage with a dramatic narrative hook involving a dragon's roar, instructing players to roll for initiative to determine turn order. This mechanic encourages social interaction and quick decision-making, making it an excellent addition for groups looking to mix up their gameplay routine. The reverse face continues the game, offering further instructions and objectives that keep the momentum going without requiring complex rule memorization. Collectors of Commander Legends often seek out these minigame tokens to complete the set's diverse array of inserts. The foil finish adds a tactile and visual appeal that distinguishes it from the standard cardstock, making it a desirable item for display or personal use. Whether you are a long-time Magic player or new to the Commander format, this token offers a fresh way to experience the game with friends. It represents a creative experiment in game design, showcasing Magic's versatility beyond traditional competitive play. Adding this piece to your collection provides a tangible link to the Baldur's Gate crossover era, highlighting the franchise's willingness to innovate and engage its community in novel ways.

2+ players | 1+ packs | 5 minutes | d20 OBJECTIVE: As you enter the room, the terrible dragon opens its eyes and lets out a roar. Everybody... roll for initiative! Roll a d20 and modify the result with some _Magic_ cards to get the highest initiative! GET READY: Open a booster and remove all cards without _Magic_ card backs. Use an additional booster for groups of five players or more. Shuffle, then deal the same number of cards to each player. If there are extra cards after dealing, set them aside. Each player then rolls a d20 to determine their *initiative*. In case of a tie, the tied players roll again. The player with the lowest starting initiative goes first. LET'S PLAY: On each player's turn, they play a card to modify a player's initiative (see reverse side for card effects). Cards with effects that will be counted at the end of the game should be placed in front of the target player. All other cards go into the discard pile.
