Sure.
Can this sequence of occasions trigger a commander to be completely phased out?
Particularly, you may trigger one other participant’s commander to section out and by no means section again in so long as that participant is within the sport. Which means the commander is completely inaccessible; there is no such thing as a sequence of actions that would put it again into play.
Suppose that you’ve got a three-player Commander sport. The gamers are Alice, Bob, and Carol. Bob’s commander is Isamaru, Hound of Konda, a vanilla creature.
On Alice’s flip, she:
- Casts Dominate to realize management of Isamaru.
- Casts Music of the Dryads to show Isamaru right into a colorless Forest land (that is not a creature).
- Prompts the primary capacity of Memnarch to completely flip Isamaru into an artifact (an Artifact Land — Forest).
- Casts Bludgeon Brawl, turning Isamaru into an Artifact Land — Gear Forest.
- Casts Grizzly Bears (a vanilla creature) and equips Isamaru to Grizzly Bears.
- Casts Donate to provide Alice management of Isamaru.
- Casts Actuality Ripple to section out Grizzly Bears.
- Concedes the sport.
When Grizzly Bears phases out, Isamaru phases out not directly (702.25f). As a result of it phased out not directly, it won’t section out by itself. As an alternative, it might section in concurrently Grizzly Bears. When Alice concedes, Grizzly Bears ceases to exist with out ever phasing in.
If Alice had not Donated Isamaru to Bob, then rule 702.25m might need induced Isamaru to section in throughout the subsequent participant’s untap step. Nevertheless, Bob managed Isamaru because it phased out, so 702.25m doesn’t apply.
Clearly, that is extremely impractical — however it does work.
Earlier than the C17 guidelines change, there was a barely simpler strategy. As an alternative of equipping Isamaru to Grizzly Bears, Alice may connect it to a token. Beneath the older guidelines, tokens ceased to exist when phased out, so Alice wouldn’t must concede. Beneath the present complete guidelines, tokens don’t stop to exist once they section out, so this strategy wouldn’t work. So far as I do know, the one strategy to stop a everlasting that phased out instantly from ever phasing in is for the everlasting’s proprietor to concede the sport, which limits this strategy to a multiplayer sport.
