Commander Rules

[Thorn]

So what happens if someone O-rings or {feind hunter}s my commander?
and...
Can I {mind control} my opponents commander?

[Gorzo]

^ This. When the commander is exiled, it's your choice if you want to keep him in exile (say if you had an {austere command} in hand to nuke that O-Ring that took your commander away) or return him to the command zone as if he'd died, along with the +2 casting cost.

And mind control, yeah, you can take a commander alright. Just be ready for your friend's full wrath for doing so, because you are now his #1 rage target

If u mind controll ur opponents commander and then deal damage to ur opponent with it, does that damage count as commander damage?

[scarsabrex]

yes. just remember commander damage is counted per commander. so if you have your commander do 14 damage and a mind controlled one do 7 that wont commander kill the opponent.

[GoJuDragon]

Ok, thx. Oh and would doing damage like with {heartless hidetsugu}s ability count as comander damage?

[BlackJester]

Yup.

[GoJuDragon]

:O thx BJ

[scarsabrex]

no no it does not... bj commander damage is combat only

[BlackJester]

Sorry, I was wrong. It's strictly combat damage.

[GoJuDragon]

Aww man. Dang

[scarsabrex]

lol otherwise it would narrow down what was a competitive commander playing to very few.

[Thorn]

So let me get this straight. Commanders deal double combat damage but if you {mind control} one it deals normal damage.
And can you {nevermore} your opponents commander (evil smile)

Commanders don't deal double combat damage, but of a single commander deals 21 damage to someone, they lose.

[Thorn]

Oh yeah I forgot that. Well can I {nevermore} their commander?

[Greg54js]

Yes you can nevermore their commander. They can't cast it until nevermore goes away
