Background cards? They basically give your commander a power-up. Only certain commanders can use them, so check if yours is one of those cool kids on the block!

Honestly, background cards complicate things. Just stick to regular deck building.

Background cards in MTG are a cool new addition introduced in the 'Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate' set. They're like a spice that you add to your Commander's dish. Essentially, if your commander has the ability to choose a background, you can pair it with one background card which then becomes a part of your command zone. This background gives your commander an extra ability or modifies their existing ones, making your strategy even more nuanced. Think of it as customizing your commander's resume to better suit the job!
