Ante cards and manual dexterity cards are also banned.

The following cards are also banned from being played as a commander :

- Braids, Cabal Minion
- Erayo, Soratami Ascendant
- Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary

Also, the legends rule doesn’t apply to commanders as long as both creatures with the same name on the battlefield are commanders. If a creature with the same name is on the battlefield but is not a commander (either because it is played as a “normal” creature or because of a card like Clone), the legend rule applies and all those creatures are put into their owners’ graveyards as the result of a state-based effect.

Finally, in addition to the ability to put the Commander back into the Command Zone if it would go to the graveyard or be exiled, you may do so also if it would be put into your library.

about two weeks to go!

metahan na! hahaha

Hate out natin Iname. Don't forget your graveyard hate boys!

dalawang tulugan na lng!
