Bar the Gate

Instant

Counter target creature or planeswalker spell. Venture into the dungeon. (If you aren't venturing through a dungeon, choose one of the dungeon cards you own from outside the game, put it into the command zone and put a venture counter on the first room of that dungeon. All effects of that room trigger. When you venture into the dungeon while you have a dungeon in the command zone, advance to the next room downward of your choice and triggering all effects of that room. When you have resolved the effects of the last room of the dungeon, remove that dungeon from the game. You can only venture through one dungeon at a time.)

Stardragon on Looking for a few combos

Np just be aware that cards like your commander can only get into the Dungeon: Undercity, while cards like Displacer Beast can let you enter the original three dungeons. However if you have already entered the undercity any card that ventures can venture through the under city if your already there. Example you play Tomb of Horrors Adventurer gain the The Initiative than you play Bar the Gate you continue onto the the next room of the under city and so on and so forth. However if you play Radiant Solar and enter the Dungeon: Lost Mine of Phandelver and than play Ravenloft Adventurer you than enter the Undercity like normal so now your in the Mine and City so the next you venture you choose which one to advance, I generally feel like the second one is not as good as focusing on a single dungeon but it happens more than like to admit since i've mixed Venture and Initiative into my deck

I made the following changes and just made it to Diamond Tier 1 for the first time.

I swapped out the 4 Duress for Dread Fugues, invested a Mythic Rare wildcard to get my 4th The Meathook Massacre, earned a Hive of the Eye Tyrant, so I swapped that in for a swamp (until I get two more Hall of Storm Giants!), and I've been having great success thus far with using Bar the Gate instead of Reject.
