Anara, Wolvid Familiar

Legendary Creature — Wolf Beast

Anara wants a deck that makes attacking it too costly, so opponents fight each other. It has partner, so it can share the lead with a second partner commander.

During your turn, commanders you control have indestructible. (Effects that say "destroy" don't destroy them. A creature with indestructible can't be destroyed by damage.)

Partner (You can have two commanders if both have partner.)

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

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

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

Anara's first ability affects commanders you control even if you don't own them. It doesn't affect your commander if another player controls it.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a commander you control may become lethal if Anara leaves the battlefield during that turn.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

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.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If Anara is your commander, its first ability affects itself during your turn.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

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.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If your Commander deck has two commanders, you can only include cards whose own color identities are also found in your commanders' combined color identities. If Falthis and Kediss are your commanders, your deck may contain cards with black and/or red in their color identity, but not cards with green, white, or blue.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

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 damage from any one of them, not from both of them combined.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

To have two commanders, both must have the partner ability as the game begins. Losing the ability during the game doesn't cause either to cease to be your commander.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

You can choose two commanders with partner that are the same color or colors. In Commander Draft, you can even choose two of the same commander with partner if you drafted them. If you do this, make sure you keep the number of times you've cast each from the command zone clear for "commander tax" purposes.

Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryGPlayers write colors as letters: G for green.PillowfortPillowfort decks make attacking you so costly or unappealing that opponents attack each other instead.

It cannot be damaged, enchanted or equipped, blocked, or targeted by it, and players remember the four with the word DEBT.
