What’s a creature type that should have its own tribal-based commander, but doesn’t? I’ll go first:
Skeleton.
If you pull it, you must build it. Thems the rules…
Rebuilt, better than ever!
I won’t be likely to make any friends with this…
My First DnD Character
With the release of Adventures in the Forgotten Realms just around the corner, I thought back to my very first DnD campaign (5th Edition - starting around 2016) and the character who I played. And I got to thinking about how that character would be as a Magic: the Gathering card.
So, here is Caramip Daegrel, a Gnome Rogue (also a tinkerer). I will include some of her story, for those curious.

Caramip was from a family of rock gnome tinkerers. One of her grandfathers had been an adventurer in his youth, and she loved to hear his stories. He would also play various games with her, games which where actually teaching her various Rogue abilities, such as picking locks and speaking in Thieves Cant.
As an adult, she worked in the family business, making various clockwork items. One day, her grandfather pulled her aside, gifting her his old adventuring gear, including a silver dagger with a mysterious symbol carved into its hilt. Within a week, he had passed away. Although the physician indicated it was from natural causes, Caramip felt that not everything lined up, especially with how healthy her grandfather had seemed when last she saw him.
So using the skills she had learned as a child, she started to investigate. She eventually joined a bounty hunters guild so that she could have more criminal contacts, who may know something about the symbol on the dagger.
One of her assignments brought her to the north, a region of icy islands, where she met the adventuring party. With the group, they uncovered a vampiric cult/mafia, with some ties to the symbol on the knife. Through the adventure, Caramip discovered she could make a clockwork bomb, using a Firestarter device and dynamite. This explosive knowledge was key in the final confrontation with the leader of the vampire legion.

For those who play tabletop games, who was your first character? And what would they look like as a Magic card?
