Only damage spells. It also wouldn't prevent life loss.

Only damage. It even says as much. "Prevent all damage target instant or sorcery spell would deal this turn."

I am, for absolute certain, going to try this as a 3x in my modern hatebears sideboard. Will it actually be good? Maybe! Is it worth three mana with Thalia on the table? Probably! Am I getting much joy out of my Engineered Explosives? Not really!

EDIT: It counters Anger of the Gods, it lets me "fight down" evasive attackers, can kill my Voice of Resurgence, and it has corner-case value against Bogles and Twin.

Atarka's command is still the best but Dromoka's Command is easily maindeckable, especially in any GW aggro decks (even if they don't currently exist). Also, there's that maindeck enchantment hate people were questioning a page ago.

It also gets around Shroud/Hexproof. Also, it means that the player has a choice of what to sac, if they have more than one.

For most purposes, it's similar to "destroy target enchantment" but slightly worse. Notable exception being the Gods, who are still in Standard.

I think it's just supposed to be "different" from demystify and a good chance to print an effect that is hard to give a real mana cost to.

Fats Dominar is on the case


People saying that Myth Realized is a bad lategame topdeck are ignoring the mana sink portion of it. When you're playing UW control, the "lategame" often sees you have 10+ mana available, which means you can topdeck it, play it, pump three counters into it on your opponent's EOT, untap, put two more on it, activate it and have countermagic available to protect it from the creature removal it is only now vulnerable to. "Dies to removal" has always been a stupid loving argument. It does die to enchantment removal, which is sometimes maindecked, but so do Banishing Light, Chained to the Rocks (which Jeskai control builds will certainly use), Jeskai Ascendancy etc. Hell, even Suspension Field and Silkwrap are potentially playable vs. Abzan and aggro respectively.

Also playing MR on turn 1 is just insane value because over the course of the first few turns with you countering and removing and whatnot you get a giant, hard-to-remove creature for almost no investment.

I'm sometimes willing to go out on a limb for cards that personally appeal to me and I've been catastrophically wrong before, most recently with Fruit of the First Tree which I expected to be very good in Limited. MR just seems like a giant package of value and unlike the other two weird 1-mana build-around-me enchantments in the block (Hardened Scales and Retribution of the Ancestors) it actually seems to do something without an insane amount of setup.

Hey whoa lets not get carried away here. Insane value would mean it also drew you some cards or was absolutely unkillable.

It's certainly good value though.

I'm willing to say that a 1 mana, 1 card investment that later gets you a 5/5 or bigger that dodges almost all sorcery speed removal is pretty insane value.

EDIT: In a controlly deck full of countermagic and removal obviously. It's a lot less good if you're playing RW aggro or something and this is your turn 1 play and you're planning to pump it with burn or whatever. I do not endorse that plan.

I'd say "dodges most maindecked board wipes" counts towards being unkillable. Or at least really hard to.

Absolutely going to brew with Dromoka's Command in the mainboard. The meta's definitely shifting towards maindeck enchantment hate being fine, and this card is just a much more versatile Abzan Advantage. The fight option allowing for indirect removal is quite good.

Commands always execute in the order printed on the card. See also the interaction between Austere Command and Elephant Guide.

I don't think dropping Myth Realized on turn 1 is very valuble at all. You need to play non creatures on turns 2 and 3 to even attack or block as a 2/2 on turn 4 and you need to leave mana up to do that! The amount of games you win off powering it up to like 7 counters or something after dropping it on turn 1 will probably nowhere near outweigh the amount of times where you draw one on turn 4 and wish it was literally any other magic the gathering card.

Well that sucks. Another question, if one of the targets for one of the modes becomes illegal upon resolution, do both effects fizzle? Say I choose sac enchantment and fight their only creature. If in response they kill their own creature, does the Command fizzle completely?

No. Multiple target spells resolve as long as one of the targets is legal upon resolution.

On the other hand, if you give it a target and a nontarget mode and the single target is illegal the whole command is countered.

(This is a p relevant thing with Arcbound Ravager, Inkmoth Nexus and Cryptic Command in modern)

Here is the problem I see. When I am playing U/W Control, it features 4 maindeck banishing lights. How my matches typically work are that after game one, I almost always cycle out all of the banishing lights. This serves a dual purpose: it allows me to board in more specific cards for the matchup, and it also effectively blanks every enchantment removal card the opponent brings in, filling the grip with even more dead cards. If I decide to bring in this cool enchantment card, I am facing a game two against an opponent who may have decided to bring in insane amounts of removal for it. It is a very cool card, and one I will certainly play around with, but I sincerely hope we see a decline in the sideboard enchantment hate or it will have a difficult time.

The decks that want to play this card do not want to swing with it on turn 4. They probably don't want to swing until turn 10+ at which point the mana to activate it is a rounding error and it has a ton of counters. A creature you can drop early, can activate as a blocker in an emergency, dodges all of your wraths and acts as a mana sink in the late game is nice for control.
