Rules of Magic the Gathering Commander Legends Battle for Baldurs Gate Draft Boosters (24 Boosters Per Display)

Set up: seat up to eight players and give each player three Draft Boosters; this display has enough for one full pod.
Open one booster at a time. Each pick, choose two cards and keep them hidden, then pass the rest left, right, then left across the three boosters.
After drafting, build a 60-card Commander deck from your drafted cards plus basic lands, matching your commander colour identity.
Choose a legendary creature as commander. If it has Choose a Background, you may pair it with one Background; use the combined colour identity.
Put your commander in the command zone, shuffle, draw opening hands and play a multiplayer free-for-all.
On your turn: untap, upkeep and draw, then play lands and spells in your main phases, attack in combat, and finish in your ending phase.
Cast your commander from the command zone; each time it returns there, recasting it costs two more mana.
Win: be the last player remaining. Players lose at 0 life, from 21 combat damage by one commander, or to card effects; games often run 60-120 minutes.

Strategy

First picks favour a strong commander, efficient removal, mana fixing and card draw over narrow build-arounds.
Stay open early; move into colours once signals are clear, and avoid stretching into three or more colours without fixing.
Keep a sensible curve: some cheap creatures and ramp let you affect the table before the biggest plays arrive.
If you draft Choose a Background, prioritise a Background that supports your colours and game plan rather than a flashy off-colour one.
Include interaction that can answer commanders or punish the whole table; single-target removal alone can fall behind in multiplayer.
Do not become the obvious early archenemy: develop your board, hold up defence when possible, and let others spend resources first.
Use politics honestly and sparingly; short-term deals can protect you, but assume alliances will shift as life totals drop.
During deckbuilding, trim off-plan cards, weaker duplicates and clunky high-cost spells until you have 60 cards with enough lands.
