Wizards of the Coast 20 Mar 2026

As Augusta's last ability resolves, the player whose turn it is chooses a card to exile from their graveyard, then each other player in turn order does the same, then all of the chosen cards are exiled at the same time. Each player will know the choices made by the players who chose before them.

Wizards of the Coast 20 Mar 2026

You don't choose a target for Augusta's last ability at the time it triggers. Instead, a second "reflexive" ability triggers whenever one or more nonland cards are exiled this way. You choose a target for that ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal.

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 glossaryWPlayers write colors as letters: W for white.+1/+1 Counters+1/+1 counter decks put small markers on their creatures that make each one permanently bigger, and keep adding more every turn. Each +1/+1 counter adds one to a creature's power (the damage it deals) and toughness (the damage it can take).Open the +1/+1 Counters pageCounter EngineAdds +1/+1 counters over and over rather than once. A counter here is a small permanent marker that raises a creature's power and toughness for good. It is not a counterspell, which is a different thing entirely. Something that adds them every turn makes your whole board bigger and keeps it that way.
