Austere Command

Description

Austere Command stands as one of the most influential white spells in Magic: The Gathering history, originally gaining fame in Standard before finding a permanent home in the Commander format. This printing comes from Commander Legends, released in 2020, and carries the card number 618 within the set. As a rare sorcery with a mana value of six, it requires a significant investment of white mana to cast, but the payoff is immediate and devastating to opponents. The card’s enduring appeal lies in its versatility. Upon casting, the player chooses two effects from a powerful list: destroying all artifacts, destroying all enchantments, removing all creatures with a mana value of three or less, or eliminating all creatures with a mana value of four or greater. This flexibility allows the card to adapt to any board state, making it a staple in many white-based decks. The design features artwork by Anna Steinbauer, contributing to the visual identity of the Commander Legends expansion. For collectors, this card represents a key piece of modern Magic history. It is highly sought after by players looking to build competitive Commander decks, as well as by those who appreciate the strategic depth of multi-mode spells. Whether you are completing your Commander Legends collection or looking for a powerful addition to your playgroup’s library, Austere Command remains a cornerstone of white mana strategies.
