What it does

Choose one. If you control a commander as you cast this spell, you may choose both instead.

• Move all counters from target nonland permanent you control onto another target nonland permanent you control.

• Remove all counters from target nonland permanent you control. Draw a card for each counter removed this way.

Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2026-03-20

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

  • 2026-03-20

    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.

  • 2026-03-20

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

  • 2026-03-20

    To move a counter from one permanent to another, the counter is removed from the first permanent and put onto the second. Any abilities that care about a counter being removed from or placed on a permanent will apply.

  • 2026-03-20

    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.

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

Every version of Nexus Mentality

2 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Nexus Mentality — a name search across every version, for 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.
