Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

If Yes Man isn't on the battlefield as its first ability resolves, or if the target opponent is an illegal target as the ability tries to resolve, nothing will happen. You won't draw two cards, because that effect is part of a reflexive triggered ability that triggers only if the target opponent gains control of Yes Man.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

When Yes Man's controller leaves the game, if that player wasn't its owner, the effect giving that player control of Yes Man ends. Yes Man will return to the control of the player still in the game who most recently controlled it, ignoring any control effects whose durations have already expired.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

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.TokensToken decks fill the battlefield with small creatures made by their cards, then attack with all of them or make them all bigger at once. A token is a creature (or other object) that a card creates, not a card from your deck.Open the Tokens pageToken EngineMakes tokens again and again rather than once. A token is a creature or other permanent created by a card, with no card of its own. Something that makes one token gives you a body; something that makes them every turn gives you a board you can keep rebuilding after it is cleared.
