Rulings

6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2020-11-10

    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.

  • 2020-11-10

    Even though the card is named after a specific character, controlling any commander will satisfy its condition.

  • 2020-11-10

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

  • 2020-11-10

    Once you've chosen both modes for the spell, it doesn't matter whether you continue to control a commander. This is true even if you somehow no longer control a commander as you finish casting the spell.

  • 2020-11-10

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

  • 2025-11-17

    "Protection from each color" is shorthand for protection from white, from blue, from black, from red, and from green. Colorless is not a color.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
