Ascend to Divinity with Universes Beyond: Divinity Original Sin 2!
Announcement Aug 10, 2024

Arise, Godwoken, and take divinity into your hands—or slay those who would claim it.
Following the success of Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate, we are excited to announce a new Universes Beyond product created in collaboration with Larian Studios—Universes Beyond: Divinity Original Sin 2. Through four preconstructed Commander decks, players will explore the story of Larian Studio's critically acclaimed CCRPG, taking the role of one of four factions as they vie to control the powers of godhood and determine the fate of Rivellon.
Larian Studios
The story of Divinity: Original Sin 2 follows the Godwoken, six champions chosen by the Seven Gods and appointed to ascend to divinity in order to repair the Veil between worlds and prevent the encroachment of the horrifying Voidwoken. Against our heroes are arrayed various factions who seek to wield the power of divinity for their own ends.

Dallis, called The Hammer, leads a transformed Divine Order, a militant religious order commited to ensuring that Alexander the Innocent, heir to Lucian, is the Godwoken chosen to ascend to divinity.
Magister Knight 1WW
Creature—Human Knight
Vigilance
Battalion—Whenever Magister Knight and at least two other creatures attack, create a 1/1 white Human Soldier creature token that is tapped and attacking.
[3/2]
Magister Inquisitor RWB
Creature—Human Cleric
Whenever an opponent draws their second card each turn, draw a card unless that player pays 2.
Whenever an opponent casts their second spell each turn, create a tapped Treasure token unless that player discards a card.
[1/3]
On Bloodmoon Isle, demons in service to the terrible archdemon Adramahlihk are scheming to bind a Godwoken to their service that they might steal the power of the gods in service of their Lord of Chaos.
Aria of Blood 1BR
Enchantment
When Aria of Blood enters, each opponent creates a 2/1 red Demon creature token.
Whenever you discard a nonland card, put a verse counter on Aria of Blood, then you may goad a number of target creatures up to the number of verse counters on it.
Madness (If you discard this card, discard it into exile. When you do, cast it for its madness cost or put it into your graveyard.)
Bloodmoon Grunt 2BR/G
Creature—Demon Soldier
When Bloodmoon Grunt enters, each player discards a card. Each player who can't sacrifices a creature or planeswalker. For each nonland card that was put into a graveyard this way, Bloodmoon Grunt enters with your choice of a trample counter, a menace counter, or a haste counter.
Madness 1 (If you discard this card, discard it into exile. When you do, cast it for its madness cost or put it into your graveyard.)
[5/3]
And we must not forget the Voidwoken themselves, led by their mysterious God King, seeking to reclaim what once was theirs—the very world of Rivellon itself.
Primordial Voidling 1U/BU/B
Creature—Elemental Horror
Devoid (This card has no color.)
Magecraft—Whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell, surveil 1, then create a 1/1 blue and black Elemental Horror creature token. If there are seven or more instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard, create a token that's a copy of this creature instead.
[1/1]
Voidwoken Kraken 10UUB
Legendary Creature—Kraken Horror
Devoid (This card has no color.)
This spell costs 1 less to cast for each instant and/or sorcery card in your graveyard.
Islandwalk, trample, shroud
Spells you cast and abilities you control can't be countered.
UUB: Regenerate Voidwoken Kraken.
[13/13]
But our heroes are not alone—the Godwoken will be aided on their journey by the Seekers, a remnant of the old Divine Order who reject Alexander's claim and work in secret to find and nurture Godwoken to ascend to divinity in his place; not to mention the ever-mysterious half-demon Malady, who will nurture and protect the young Godwoken in service of her own, mercurial ends.
Exter, Seeker Squire WG
Creature—Human Ranger
Lieutenant—As long as you control your commander, whenever Exter attacks, you may look at the top X cards of your library, where X is the number of experience counters you have plus 1. You may reveal a legendary card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. If you didn't put a card into your hand this way, draw a card.
[2/2]
The Lady Vengeance 3UU
Legendary Artifact—Vehicle
Haste, Trample
Whenever a legendary creature you control enters or attacks, draw a card.
Crew 3
You may cast The Lady Vengeance from your graveyard as long as you control three or more tapped legendary permanents.
[6/6]
Which faction will you play? Will you help the Godwoken ascend to divinity—or doom Rivellon to the wrath of the Voidwoken?
