How do Backgrounds Work in MTG?
Backgrounds in MTG are a newer type of card introduced in the Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set. They're like enchantments that you attach to your Commander in the Commander format. Each background gives your Commander a unique bonus or ability, allowing for more customizable and thematic decks. The key thing is, you can only use a Background if your Commander has the 'Choose a Background' ability, making it a fun twist to deck building!

Simple: Backgrounds add spice to your Commander games. Pick one that matches your commander's 'Choose a Background' text, and enjoy the extra powers. Think of it as giving your Commander a backstory with benefits.
Personally, I think Backgrounds complicate things. Just stick to the basics.
