Similar to Partner, both the legendary creature and Enchantment with Background take up a spot in the command zone and are treated independently. The Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate has the MTG mechanic Background, pairing monocolored legendary creatures with monocolored legendary Enchantments to alleviate color identity issues in Draft and Sealed. Partner in the first Commander Legends set alleviated some of the color issues via 40 monocolored legendary creatures and planeswalkers with the Partner mechanic. Drafting in Commander can cause color identity problems when building a deck since the deck can’t contain any colors that aren’t represented by your commander. Why MTG Partner and Background were designed for CommanderĬommander Legends sets are designed to get Drafted, similar to Standard-legal Magic sets while keeping Commander rules.

Both commanders were treated individually and the total deck size was 98 cards plus the two legendary commanders with Partner. First seen in the Commander 2016 set, Partner allowed for two legendary creatures to get placed in the command zone if each had the Partner mechanic. The Background mechanic, first introduced via Commander Legends: Battle or Baldur’s Gate ( CLB), is a variation of the Partner mechanic. Partner in Magic: The Gathering Commander has a new look in Battle for Baldur’s Gate via Background, placing legendary creatures and Enchantments within the command zone.
