Nine-Fingers Keene enters the battlefield as a formidable legendary Human Rogue with a mana cost of {1}{B}{G}{U} and a versatile four mana value. Featured in the 2022 Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate expansion, this rare card (number 435) is designed by Justine Jones and brings a distinct strategic flavor to Magic: The Gathering gameplay. The card’s abilities revolve around controlling the board state through Gate tokens and library manipulation. It possesses menace, making it difficult for opponents to block, and includes a ward ability that requires an opponent to pay nine life to target it, adding a layer of protection during combat. The primary strength of Nine-Fingers Keene lies in its triggered ability. When it deals combat damage to a player, you examine the top nine cards of your library. You may immediately put a Gate card from that selection onto the battlefield. This effect encourages decks built around Gate synergies, allowing players to accelerate their board presence. If you control nine or more Gates, the remaining cards from the selection are returned to your hand, providing card advantage. However, if you have fewer than nine Gates, the cards are shuffled back into the library in a random order. This conditional outcome adds a layer of strategic depth, rewarding players who have invested in Gate-generating strategies. Collectors and players alike value this card for its unique design and gameplay potential. The card’s multicolored identity (black, green, and blue) allows for flexible deck building, while its legendary status ensures it remains a focal point in Commander formats. Whether you are building a thematic Gate deck or looking for a versatile creature with impactful abilities, Nine-Fingers Keene offers a compelling option. Its presence in the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate set highlights the intersection of Dungeons & Dragons lore and Magic: The Gathering mechanics, appealing to fans of both universes. This card stands out as a key piece for those seeking to expand their collection with high-impact legendary creatures.
