Arcane Signet

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If your commander is a card that has no colors in its color identity, Arcane Signet's ability produces no mana. It doesn't produce {C}.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If you have two commanders, the ability adds one mana of any color in their combined color identities.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If you don't have a commander, Arcane Signet's ability produces no mana.

Cryptic Command

Wizards of the Coast 17 Nov 2017

Look at both chosen modes to determine how many targets Cryptic Command has, if any. If it has at least one target, and all its targets are illegal when it tries to resolve, then it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. For example, if you choose the second and fourth modes, and the permanent is an illegal target when Cryptic Command tries to resolve, you won’t draw a card.

Wizards of the Coast 17 Nov 2017

You choose both modes as you cast Cryptic Command. You must choose two different modes.

Deadeye Navigator

Wizards of the Coast 14 Mar 2017

If you activate the ability granted by Deadeye Navigator, the creature will be exiled, the pair will immediately be broken, and then the card will be returned to the battlefield. Deadeye Navigator’s soulbond ability triggers when that card enters the battlefield and the pair can then be reunited.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Mar 2017

Once Deadeye Navigator or the creature it’s paired with is exiled, the other creature will no longer have the activated ability. However, you can activate the ability of one creature in response to activating the ability of the other creature.

Path of Ancestry

Wizards of the Coast 28 Jul 2023

Your commander's creature types are checked immediately after you cast a creature spell spending mana from Path of Ancestry's last ability. They aren't set before the game begins, and they may not be the same types your commander had when you activated that ability.

Wizards of the Coast 28 Jul 2023

If you have two commanders, the last ability adds one mana of any color in their combined color identities. When you spend that mana on a creature spell that shares a creature type with either of your commanders, you'll scry 1.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If you don't have a commander, Path of Ancestry's ability produces no mana.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If Path of Ancestry's last ability produces two mana (most likely due to Mana Reflection), spending those two mana to cast creature spells that share a creature type with your commander will cause two abilities to trigger. Each of those abilities will cause you to scry 1. You won't scry 2. This is true whether you spend the mana on one creature spell or two.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If you cast your commander with mana from Path of Ancestry, and your commander hasn't somehow lost all of its creature types while on the stack, you'll scry 1.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If your commander is a card that has no colors in its color identity, Path of Ancestry's ability produces no mana. It doesn't produce {C}.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If your commander has no creature types, it can't share a creature type with any spell that you cast.

Puca's Mischief

Wizards of the Coast 1 May 2008

You choose two targets such that as a set, all of the targeting conditions are met. That means, for example, that if you control a nonland permanent whose mana value is lower than any of your opponents' nonland permanents, you can't choose it as a target. (If you did, you'd be unable to choose a second target.)

Wizards of the Coast 1 May 2008

Even if you don't plan on exchanging control of any permanents, if you can choose two legal targets when the ability triggers, you must do so. If you can't, then you don't choose any targets.

Wizards of the Coast 1 May 2008

If either one of the targets becomes illegal (because it leaves the battlefield or for any other reason) by the time the ability resolves, the exchange won't happen. If both targets become illegal, the ability doesn't resolve.

Silver Shroud Costume

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Attaching Silver Shroud Costume to a creature that has already been blocked won't cause it to become unblocked.

Swan Song

Wizards of the Coast 15 Sep 2013

Swan Song can target a spell that can't be countered. That spell won't be countered when Swan Song resolves, but its controller will get a Bird token.
