Leadership Vacuum
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
What it does
Target player returns each commander they control from the battlefield to the command zone.
Draw a card.
Rulings
3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2019-08-23
The "commander tax" increases based on how many times a commander was cast from the command zone, not how many times it was put there as a result of Commander rules. The returned commander will cost more to cast again even though it was put directly into the command zone.
- 2019-08-23
Leadership Vacuum targets the player, not their creatures. A commander with hexproof or protection from blue may be returned this way.
- 2019-08-23
You'll draw a card even if the target player controls no commanders as Leadership Vacuum resolves.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Leadership Vacuum. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.
Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
