Background is a legendary enchantment subtype introduced in Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate. Backgrounds interact with Commanders in Commander games.[1]

Description

Monocolored legendary creatures in Baldur's Gate have the ability to Choose a Background to customize your Commander.[2] The bonus comes in the form of an ability your Commander gains or a boost to their Power/Toughness. Backgrounds contribute to the color identity of the Commander. In this way, they function similarly to partner.[1]

Legendary Background cards represent the story that brought your commander to the point where we find them now. They were inspired by the backgrounds created for Player Characters in a game of D&D. The Flavor text is inspired by Dungeon Master's descriptions.

Faceless One

Faceless One is a colorless enchantment creature, and can be your Commander in addition to another background.[1]
