Can you play backgrounds in the 99 in MTG?
Hard no. Backgrounds are only for commanders with the "choose a background" feature. They won't work in the 99 because they don't function as standalone cards in regular gameplay.

Nope, you can't use backgrounds in the 99 of your MTG deck. Backgrounds are a special kind of Commander innovation introduced in recent sets. They're designed to complement your commander if it has the "choose a background" ability, not to sneak into the 99 of your deck.
Actually, backgrounds are like that cool exclusive club - only for commanders that invite them. So, no using them in your 99. Keeps the game balanced and exciting!
