How do Background Enchantments Work in MTG?
Background enchantments are a special kind of enchantment introduced in the Streets of New Capenna set. Unlike regular enchantments, they represent your character's backstory and can only be used if you have a commander that matches the background's requirement. You can only have one background enchantment in your command zone, and it gives your commander an additional ability or buff, adding a unique layer of strategy to your deck.

Honestly, I think they're a bit restrictive. Cool concept but locking into one commander, and only one? Meh.
Just think of them as your commander's personal hype crew! Background enchantments essentially give your commander an extra edge, but remember, you can't just throw any background onto any commander. They've gotta match, like a fine wine and cheese.
