Rulings5

3/20/2026·wotc

There's no extra bonus if you control more than one commander.

3/20/2026·wotc

Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take any actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove your commander to change how many modes you may choose.

3/20/2026·wotc

The commander you control doesn't have to be your commander.
