• Move all counters from target nonland permanent you control onto another target nonland permanent you control.

Official rulings
- There's no extra bonus if you control more than one commander. (2026-03-20)
- Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take any actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove your commander to change how many modes you may choose. (2026-03-20)
- The commander you control doesn't have to be your commander. (2026-03-20)
- To move a counter from one permanent to another, the counter is removed from the first permanent and put onto the second. Any abilities that care about a counter being removed from or placed on a permanent will apply. (2026-03-20)
- Once you've chosen both modes for the spell, it doesn't matter whether you continue to control a commander. This is true even if you somehow no longer control a commander as you finish casting the spell. (2026-03-20)
