Not final, still needs testing and tweaking

An attempt at expanding a singleton cube based around Commander Legends Battle for Baldur's Gate by using Adventures in the Forgotten Realms and some additional lands. Supports up to 8 people drafting or 4 people sealed.

The draft uses 3 packs of 20 cards with;
7 Common slots
5 Uncommon slots
3 Rare/Mythic slots
1 Background slot (1 rare background is shuffled into the rare/mythic pool)
1 Background partner slot (1 rare background partner is shuffled into the rare/mythic pool)
1 Multicolored commander slot (Uses 12 uncommon multicolored commanders, 8 rare dual-colored commanders, and 4 rare tri-colored commanders. The remaining commanders are shuffled into their rarity pools)
2 land slots.

Notes from first iteration;
Mythics was the hardest elimination, wanted to do the ancient cycle, planeswalker cycle, and the named dragon cycle, but also wanted to include other mythics from the two sets. Ultimately decided to do 18 mythics, 3 for each color. Ultimately cut the ancients and did 2 mythics and a planeswalker for each color. The named dragon cycle is not complete, but this may change in the future. Demilich was selected as the third for blue mythics which I’m ultimately debating due to be [U][U][U][U].

Tiamat was not included during initial iteration.

The following mythic keystone commanders replace the following rare mythic commander. I have some concern of them possibly being too strong, but want to try them anyway;
Minsc, Beloved Ranger replaces Mazzy, Truesword Paladin as the Naya commander due to a decent lack of auras in the set.
Wulfgar of Icewind Dale replaces Raggadragga, Goreguts Boss. Thoughts behind this is both are combat focused, but there’s less mana dorks and few cmc 7 and higher color cards in gruul. Wulfgar may show to be too strong in playtesting.
Sefris of the Hidden Ways replaces Bane, Lord of Darkness to have the Esper archetype be Dungeons.
I wanted to run Nalia, but there is a lack of white and black wizards in the set.
