Commandeer Rules Text & Legality

Commandeer

You may exile two blue cards from your hand rather than pay this spell's mana cost.

Gain control of target noncreature spell. You may choose new targets for it. (If that spell is an artifact, enchantment, or planeswalker, the permanent enters under your control.)

"You see, their young enter through the ears and wrap themselves around the cerebral cortex. This has the effect of rendering the victim extremely susceptible to suggestion." —Khan Noonien Singh

Commandeer is legal in Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer and Pauper.

Commandeer Rulings

  • Feb 1, 2007

    If you Commandeer a spell for which buyback has been paid, the card returns to its owner's hand.

  • Jul 15, 2006

    After Commandeer resolves, you control the targeted spell. Any instance of "you" in that spell's text now refers to you, "an opponent" refers to one of your opponents, and so on. The change of control happens before new targets are chosen, so any targeting restrictions such as "target opponent" or "target creature you control" are now made in reference to you, not the spell's original controller. You may either change those targets to be legal in reference to you, or, if those are the spell's only targets, the spell doesn't resolve for having illegal targets. When the spell resolves, any illegal targets are unaffected by it and you make all decisions the spell's effect calls for.

  • Jul 15, 2006

    If the targeted spell has a triggered ability that copies it (for example, replicate or storm), the copies will be controlled by the player who cast that spell.

  • Jul 15, 2006

    If you don't have two cards of the right color in your hand, you can't choose to cast the spell using the alternative cost.

  • Jul 15, 2006

    If you gain control of an instant or sorcery spell with Commandeer, it will still be put into its owner's graveyard when it resolves.
