If you are instructed to perform an action on your commander (e.g. If something refers to your commander while you have two commanders, it refers to one of them of your choice. A player loses the game after having been dealt 21 combat damage from any one of them, not from both of them combined (although your Background won’t usually be a creature anyway). If you cast one, you won’t have to pay an additional the first time you cast the other. Once the game begins, your two commanders are tracked separately. If your commander loses the choose a Background ability or stops being a Background during the game, as appropriate, it is still your commander. If your Commander deck has two commanders, you can include only cards whose own color identities are also found in your commanders’ combined color identities.īoth commanders start in the command zone, and the remaining 98 cards (or 58 cards in a Commander Draft game) of your deck are shuffled to become your library. Backgrounds and cards with choose a Background do not interact with cards which have any other partner ability. You may have two commanders if one of them is a legendary creature with the choose a background ability and the other is a legendary Background enchantment. If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield.Ĭhoose a Background is a variant of the partner ability. Any counters on the exiled permanent will cease to exist. Any Equipment will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Auras attached to the exiled creature will be put into their owners' graveyards.

When the card returns to the battlefield, it will be a new object with no connection to the card that was exiled.
