Good point—the mana generation rule would still limit you to the colors of your commander. If you're playing Sultai then exile your commander and pick a BG card, you can no longer generate blue mana.
I think the cost should be high enough (between costing a bunch and requiring that you get rid of your current commander, and you lock yourself out of colors if you select Karn or Ugin.Krishnath wrote: ↑4 years agoThat seems like it could be abuseable with certain planeswalkers, like, oh, I dunno, Karn Liberated just to name one. I think it would be better to limited it to only planeswalkers that can already be your commander.
But then again, you'd have to be very careful regarding which legendary creature or planeswalker you fetch with this, as if you pick the wrong one you could accidentally lock yourself out of one or more colors in your deck.
Right, I guess it doesn't need to specify "your" command zone. I don't believe you can target a card in the Command Zone though, which is why I used the "choose" wording, which then necessitated "if you do". I'm also pretty sure you need to make it no longer your commander before you try to exile it or your can just stick it back into the command zone with the replacement effect.spacemonaut wrote: ↑4 years agoAlternate templating:
, Exile Usurper's Throne: Exile target commander card you own from the battlefield or command zone. It's no longer your commander. Search your library for a legendary creature or planeswalker card and put it into the command zone. It becomes your commander.
(There's only one command zone; players don't each have their own.)
You can target a card in any zone. See for example Pull from Eternity, the oracle text of which says "target face-up exiled card". Nothing about the command zone makes it any less able to be targeted.wildfire393 wrote: ↑4 years agoRight, I guess it doesn't need to specify "your" command zone.

Wasn't the mana generation rule done away with years ago? This being the case I think it should limit you to having to control your commander. I just don't like the idea of "Progenitus is my commander but I only actually play three colors but I want to have some cards like the bringers and now my commander is something useful, possibly even colorless." It doesn't feel right at all.spacemonaut wrote: ↑4 years ago

If I'm wrong and the mana rule still exists then this isn't really a problem but would still like to limit it to you control. Maybe even add a clause to handle partners.
