![]() ![]() Removing the companion from the list if only it is illegal should be the chosen procedure. Both constraints have to be checked for a deck to be legal. Which means your companion will be subject to the color identity rules and your commander card will check your companion card color identity (commander swapping won't change a thing as those cards will always consider the same card pool). In a Commander game, this is also before you’ve set aside your commander. This is in the Magic The Gathering Comprehensive Rules:ħ02.139b If a companion ability refers to your starting deck, it refers to your deck after you’ve set aside any sideboard cards. ![]() Cards with the companion keyword are not affected by this as they refer to themselves, and therefore will work, on condition that but their restrictions and the Commander building restrictions will both be valid.Ĭompanions will refer to your starting deck as "the deck as seen before you set aside your commander". If an effect would bring another card from outside the game, it will do nothing upon resolving. Spell and abilities which refer to other cards owned outside the game do not function in Commander. Cards referring other objects from outside the gameĥ03.1. ![]() Taken from the Duel Commander Comprehensive Rules:ĥ03. Parts of abilities which bring other traditional card(s) you own from outside the game into the game (such as Living Wish Spawnsire of Ulamog Karn, the Great Creator Wish) do not function in Commander. ![]() If such cards try to bring cards from outside the game (like the " wishes" and cards with the Learn keyword), they will resolve but do nothing (you can still choose to discard and draw a card instead with the latter).Ĭommander rules state everything, have a look at: ġ0. With the exception of cards that have the " Companion" keyword. A permanent that’s copying a commander (such as a Body Double, for example, copying a commander in a player’s graveyard) is not a commander.” A commander that’s copying another card (due to Cytoshape’s effect, for example) is still a commander. The card retains this designation even when it changes zones.Ī commander that’s been turned face down (due to Ixidron’s effect, for example) is still a commander. This designation is not a characteristic of the object represented by the card rather, it is an attribute of the card itself. “Each deck has a legendary creature card designated as its commander. See rule 903.3 in the Magic The Gathering Comprehensive Rules: For instance, a player having a commander among their top 3 cards may resolve Brainstorm choosing to draw two cards, putting their commander back to the command zone, then putting two cards from their hand on top of their library. If a commander subject to hidden information would go to exile (being revealed as normal), to hand (being drawn), to library again (like when resolving cards like Brainstorm) or to the graveyard (through abilities such as surveil), its owner may apply rule 903.9a or 903.9b from the Magic The Gathering Comprehensive Rules by revealing the card before taking the action. This applies regardless of the type and number of commander cards (backgrounds, partners, friends forever, etc.), and even when moving the mentioned cards to private yet known location, like bottom or top (like choosing one of them using Worldly Tutor, for instance). In that case, the card loses its commander nature (which means background cards won't affect it, for instance, as opponents may not be able to track that they are a commander). Hidden information prevents this: for instance being a morph, a manifest, or being exiled face-down is OK and will work ( using rule 903.3 of Magic The Gathering Comprehensive Rules), except when players are unable to track the information, like using abilities from Shared Fate or Gonti, Lord of Luxury, for instance, but also via Thief Of Sanity after a library being shuffled without choosing to apply rule 903.9b of Magic The Gathering Comprehensive Rules, letting the commander card(s) into its owner's library). Like casting your commander from being exiled face down with Jacob Hauken, Inspector will have you pay the commander tax, as it is reveald when put on the stack and the information of its commander nature is public from game start to all players. Īnd only as long as the commander is revealed and the information has been publicly trackable. # 4 How does the “Commander” designation work?Įasy! It works everywhere, it’s not part of the card, and it only applies to the card that is your commander, and never to any other card. ![]()
