Matter Reshaper

Wizards of the Coast 22 Jan 2016

If you put an Aura card onto the battlefield this way, you choose what it enchants as it enters the battlefield. You must be able to choose a legal player or permanent or you can’t put the Aura onto the battlefield.

Wizards of the Coast 22 Jan 2016

If you don’t put the card onto the battlefield for any reason, you put the card into your hand.

Pir, Imaginative Rascal

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

The triggered ability of the "partner with" keyword still triggers in a Commander game. If your other commander has somehow ended up in your library, you can find it. You can also target another player who might have that card in their library.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

"Partner with [name]" represents two abilities. The first is a triggered ability: "When this permanent enters the battlefield, target player may search their library for a card named [name], reveal it, put it into their hand, then shuffle their library."

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

Note that the target player searches their library (which may be affected by effects such as that of Stranglehold) and that the card they find is revealed, even though these words aren't included in the ability's reminder text.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

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 one of them, not from both of them combined. Command Beacon's effect puts one into your hand from the command zone, not both.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

To have two commanders, both must have the partner ability (featured in the Magic: The Gathering—Commander™ (2016 Edition) set) or corresponding "partner with" abilities as the game begins. A creature with a "partner with" ability can't partner with any creature other than its designated partner. Losing a partner ability during the game doesn't cause either to cease to be your commander.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

The second ability represented by the "partner with [name]" keyword modifies the rules for deck construction in the Commander variant and has no function outside of that variant. If a legendary creature card with "partner with [name]" is designated as your commander, the named legendary creature card can also be designated as your commander. For more information on the Commander variant, please visit Wizards.com/Commander.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

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 8 Jun 2018

Pir's effect can't apply to itself as it's entering the battlefield or to any other permanent entering the battlefield at the same time as it.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

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 Khorvath and Sylvia are your commanders, your deck may contain cards with red and/or white in their color identity, but not blue, black, or green.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

Both commanders start in the command zone, and the remaining 98 cards of your deck are shuffled to become your library.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

If an effect includes multiple instructions to put one or more counters on a permanent, such as Lifecrafter's Gift does, Pir's effect applies to each of those instructions.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

If a permanent your team controls would enter the battlefield with one or more counters of any kind on it, it enters with that many plus one instead.

The Gitrog Monster

Wizards of the Coast 24 Jan 2025

If multiple land cards are put into your graveyard at once, The Gitrog Monster's last ability triggers only once. This could happen because an effect put them there from your library at the same time (such as by a mill effect) or because they were destroyed at the same time (such as two land creatures that were dealt lethal combat damage).

Toothy, Imaginary Friend

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

If enough -1/-1 counters are put on Toothy at the same time to make its toughness 0 or less, the number of +1/+1 counters on it before it got any -1/-1 counters will be used to determine how many cards you draw. For example, if there are two +1/+1 counters on Toothy and it gets three -1/-1 counters, you'll draw two cards.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

If you draw multiple cards, Toothy's middle ability triggers that many times. If your team also controls Pir, each of those resolving triggered abilities puts two +1/+1 counters on Toothy.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

If a spell or ability causes you to put cards in your hand without specifically using the word "draw," Toothy's middle ability won't trigger.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

The triggered ability of the "partner with" keyword still triggers in a Commander game. If your other commander has somehow ended up in your library, you can find it. You can also target another player who might have that card in their library.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

"Partner with [name]" represents two abilities. The first is a triggered ability: "When this permanent enters the battlefield, target player may search their library for a card named [name], reveal it, put it into their hand, then shuffle their library."

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2018

Note that the target player searches their library (which may be affected by effects such as that of Stranglehold) and that the card they find is revealed, even though these words aren't included in the ability's reminder text.

A player loses the game after having been dealt 21 damage from one of them, not from both of them combined. Command Beacon's effect puts one into your hand from the command zone, not both.

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 8 Jun 2018

If Khorvath and Sylvia are your commanders, your deck may contain cards with red and/or white in their color identity, but not blue, black, or green.
