Rulings

  1. Nov 8, 2024 · Wizards of the Coast

    Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.

  2. Nov 8, 2024 · Wizards of the Coast

    You can't sacrifice a Food to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Food token to activate its own ability and also to activate Maraleaf Rider's ability.

    Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.

  4. Oct 13, 2023 · Wizards of the Coast

    Both commanders start in the command zone, and the remaining 98 cards (or 58 cards in a Commander Draft game) of your deck are shuffled to become your library.

  5. Oct 13, 2023 · Wizards of the Coast

    Once the game begins, your two commanders are tracked separately. If you cast one, you won't have to pay an additional {2} the first time you cast the other. A player loses the game after having been dealt 21 combat damage from any one of them, not from both of them combined.

  6. Oct 13, 2023 · Wizards of the Coast

    If something refers to your commander while you have two commanders, it refers to one of them of your choice. If you are instructed to perform an action on your commander (e.g. put it from the command zone into your hand due to Command Beacon), you choose one of your commanders at the time the effect happens.

  7. Oct 13, 2023 · Wizards of the Coast

    An effect that checks whether you control your commander is satisfied if you control one or both of your two commanders.

  8. Oct 13, 2023 · Wizards of the Coast

    The Doctor's companion ability allows you to have two commanders if one has the ability and the other is a legendary creature that is a Time Lord Doctor and has no other creature types. Creatures with the changeling ability, for example, can't be a second commander this way.

  9. Oct 13, 2023 · Wizards of the Coast

    An instant or sorcery that counts how many spells you've cast from anywhere other than your hand, such as Surge of Brilliance, counts itself if it was cast from a zone other than your hand.

  10. Oct 13, 2023 · Wizards of the Coast

    A triggered ability that triggers when a spell is cast from anywhere other than your hand, such as that of The Thirteenth Doctor, functions only on the battlefield, so it doesn't trigger when you cast that spell from a zone other than your hand.

  11. Oct 13, 2023 · Wizards of the Coast

    If a spell or ability allows you to copy a spell on the stack but doesn't specify that the spell is cast, that spell wasn't cast and won't be counted by paradox abilities. However, if a spell or ability allows you to cast a copy of a spell, that spell will be counted for paradox abilities.

  12. Oct 13, 2023 · Wizards of the Coast

    Paradox abilities count any spells cast from zones other than your hand. These are usually spells cast from exile, the graveyard, or the command zone. They also count spells cast from outside the game, such as spells cast with Wish or Garth One-Eye's ability.

  13. Oct 13, 2023 · Wizards of the Coast

    Although Doctor's companion is a new variant of the partner ability, the rules for partner have not otherwise changed. Notably, Time Lord Doctors and cards with Doctor's companion do not interact with cards which have another partner ability.

  14. Oct 13, 2023 · Wizards of the Coast

    If your Commander deck has two commanders, you can include only cards whose own color identities are also found in your commanders' combined color identities.
