Crafted by artist Dan Murayama Scott, this card introduces a distinct mechanic that challenges opponents to manage their creature resources against the Archenemy's overwhelming power. Unlike standard spells, this Scheme remains in play until abandoned, offering persistent pressure that forces adversaries to make difficult tactical decisions regarding their untapped creatures' total power. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards, this piece represents a key component of the Archenemy format, which allows one player to assume the role of a powerful Planeswalker while others team up against them.

Whether you are looking to complete your Archenemy collection or enhance your gameplay strategy, 'Bow to My Command' offers a tangible connection to one of Magic's most iconic villains. Its role in the 2017 release highlights the innovative ways Wizards of the Coast expanded the game's narrative and mechanical possibilities, providing collectors with a unique artifact of this era. As you curate your collection, this card serves as a reminder of the strategic depth and rich lore that defines the Magic: The Gathering universe.

(An ongoing scheme remains face up until it's abandoned.) As you set this scheme in motion, choose an opponent. Creatures the chosen player controls can't attack you or planeswalkers you control. At the beginning of your opponents' end step, they may tap any number of untapped creatures they control with total power 8 or greater. If they do, abandon this scheme.
