Oath of Lieges
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
What it does
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player chooses target player who controls more lands than they do and is their opponent. The first player may search their library for a basic land card, put that card onto the battlefield, then shuffle.
Rulings
5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2004-10-04
The land card enters under the current player's control.
- 2004-10-04
Because the "search" requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don't have to find the card if you don't want to.
- 2008-08-01
Shuffling the library is part of the optional effect. The player only shuffles if they chose to search.
- 2009-10-01
The ability can only target an opponent of the current player.
- 2009-10-01
The targeted player controlling more lands than the current player is a part of the targeting requirement. A player can't be targeted by this ability unless it's true, and the ability doesn't resolve if it's no longer true at that time.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
