As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Yo, what's up gamers! Henry here, your resident Warhammer expert. But today, let's talk about something a little different - Magic The Gathering's latest release, the Adventures in The Forgotten Realms Commander Deck - Planar Portal (Red-Black).

First off, this deck is PACKED with value. You're getting 100 Magic cards (including 2 traditional foil and 98 nonfoil), a foil etched Display Commander, 10 double-sided tokens, a life tracker, a deck box, and a reference card. And all of that comes in reduced-plastic packaging. As someone who's all about reducing waste, that gets a big thumbs up from me.

But let's talk about the deck itself. The Red-Black combo is spicy. You've got some serious damage dealing going on here, with plenty of creatures that can be sacrificed to dish out some serious pain. And if you're a fan of the Forgotten Realms, you're in for a treat. The deck is loaded with cards featuring familiar characters like Drizzt Do'Urden and Minsc, as well as locations like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale.

Now, who is this deck good for? I'd say it's perfect for someone who's looking for a pre-made deck that they can start playing with right away. It's also great for someone who's a fan of Magic The Gathering and Forgotten Realms - this is the perfect crossover. And if you're someone who wants to experiment with a Red-Black deck, this is a great place to start.

But of course, there are pros and cons to every product. Here's what I've got:

Pros:
- Packed with value - you're getting a lot of bang for your buck
- A great Red-Black deck that's perfect for beginners or those who want to experiment with the combo
- If you're a fan of the Forgotten Realms, this is a must-have
- The reduced-plastic packaging is a nice touch

Cons:
- The Red-Black combo might not be everyone's cup of tea
- The deck might not be ideal for experienced players who prefer to build their own decks

Overall, I'm a big fan of the Adventures in The Forgotten Realms Commander Deck - Planar Portal (Red-Black). It's a great deck that's packed with value, and it's perfect for anyone who's a fan of Magic The Gathering and/or the Forgotten Realms. So if you're looking for a new deck to play with, or if you're just a fan of crossovers, definitely give this one a try.

Bottom Line: If you're a Magic The Gathering fan or a Forgotten Realms fan, this is a must-have deck. Packed with value and loaded with familiar characters and locations, it's a great addition to any collection. 8.5/10.
