Card Kingdom currently pays $39.00 cash for MP2 #1 (Foil); the retail-buylist spread on that printing is 40% (normal).

• Nov 10, 2020 Each of the chosen modes happens sequentially. If a permanent has an ability that triggers whenever it or another permanent is destroyed, it will see permanents destroyed at the same time as it or before it, but not permanents destroyed by later modes.
• Nov 10, 2020 If a card is exiled "until" another permanent leaves the battlefield, the exiled card returns to the battlefield immediately after that permanent leaves the battlefield during Austere Command's resolution, and it may be destroyed by a later mode.
• Nov 10, 2020 If the first and last modes are chosen, an artifact creature with mana value 4 or greater will have to be regenerated twice to survive. This is because the modes happen sequentially, and the regeneration "shield" is used up by the first one. The same is true with any other combination of modes that covers one permanent twice.

Austere Command has been reprinted 31 times. The Modern Horizons 3 Commander reprint cut the price 30% in 30 days.
