Nexus Mentality
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
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.

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. 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.
