Official rulings

  1. 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. (2020-11-10)
  2. Even though the card is named after a specific character, controlling any commander will satisfy its condition. (2020-11-10)
  3. There's no extra bonus if you control more than one commander. (2020-11-10)
  4. 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. (2020-11-10)
  5. The commander you control doesn't have to be your commander. (2020-11-10)
  6. "Protection from each color" is shorthand for protection from white, from blue, from black, from red, and from green. Colorless is not a color. (2025-11-17)
