A-Geological Appraiser

When Geological Appraiser enters, if you cast it, discover 3. (Exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card with mana value 3 or less. Cast it without paying its mana cost or put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom in a random order.)

"What do you mean a walking clock destroyed all our cannons?!"
—Captain Lannery Storm

Abrade

Choose one —
• Abrade deals 3 damage to target creature.
• Destroy target artifact.

Quintorius touched the old poncho he'd found. A rush of magic condensed into an Echo, and wise Abuelo stepped forth.

Abuelo's Awakening

Return target artifact or non-Aura enchantment card from your graveyard to the battlefield with X additional +1/+1 counters on it. It's a 1/1 Spirit creature with flying in addition to its other types.

"Come, friends. Let us see if this world remembers us."

Abuelo, Ancestral Echo

Flying, ward {2}
{1}{W}{U}: Exile another target creature or artifact you control. Return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of the next end step.

An Equipment that's also a creature can't be attached to anything. You can activate its equip ability, but it won't become attached.

An artifact creature card or enchantment creature card returned this way will have base power and toughness 1/1.

If a double-faced card is exiled this way, it will return with its front face up, no matter which face was up when it left the battlefield.

If a token is exiled this way, it ceases to exist and won't return to the battlefield.

If another effect causes one of the returned permanents to become a creature and sets its base power and toughness as it does so, that creature will have that power and toughness; it won't be 1/1. Notably, crewing a Vehicle does not set its power and toughness, so a Vehicle will remain a 1/1 if you crew it.

The exiled card will return to the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step even if Abuelo, Ancestral Echo is no longer on the battlefield at that time.

Its kin once overran entire civilizations, but they tore each other to pieces in their unending hunger. Now only it remains.

Abyssal Gorestalker

When Abyssal Gorestalker enters the battlefield, each player sacrifices two creatures.

As the enters-the-battlefield ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is chooses which two creatures they are going to sacrifice, then each other player in turn order does the same. Players will know the choices of previous players when making their choices. Then all creatures are sacrificed by their controllers simultaneously.

If a player controls only one creature as the ability resolves, they must sacrifice it.

You may sacrifice Abyssal Gorestalker to its own ability. If it is the only creature you control or one of two creatures you control, you must sacrifice it.

When Abyssal Gorestalker enters, each player sacrifices two creatures.

Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal // Temple of the Dead

If a card that isn't a transforming double-faced card is a copy of Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal, it won't return to the battlefield when it dies.

The last ability of Temple of the Dead will resolve even if you have two or more cards in hand at that time.

Flying, lifelink
Whenever Aclazotz attacks, each opponent discards a card. For each opponent who can't, you draw a card.
Whenever an opponent discards a land card, create a 1/1 black Bat creature token with flying.
When Aclazotz dies, return it to the battlefield tapped and transformed under its owner's control.

Chimil gave the Oltec peace in death. Aclazotz ripped it away.

(Transforms from Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal.)
{T}: Add {B}.
{2}{B}, {T}: Transform Temple of the Dead. Activate only if a player has one or fewer cards in hand and only as a sorcery.

"Great Aclazotz, receive this offering. Wrought with skill. Captured with strength. Anointed with the blood of your enemies."

Acolyte of Aclazotz

{T}, Sacrifice another creature or artifact: Each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.

As the cliff began to crumble, Wayta danced fearlessly across the tumbling stones, knowing Ajij would never let her fall.

Acrobatic Leap

Target creature gets +1/+3 and gains flying until end of turn. Untap it.

Left their own devices, gnomes reengineer their own devices.

Adaptive Gemguard

Tap two untapped artifacts and/or creatures you control: Put a +1/+1 counter on Adaptive Gemguard. Activate only as a sorcery.

You can tap any two untapped artifacts and/or creatures you control, including Adaptive Gemguard itself and other creatures you haven't controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn, to pay the cost of Adaptive Gemguard's activated ability.

"You and your ship will make a fine addition to my fleet."

Admiral Beckett Brass

Other Pirates you control get +1/+1.
At the beginning of your end step, gain control of target nonland permanent controlled by a player who was dealt combat damage by three or more Pirates this turn.

Admiral Beckett Brass's triggered ability checks what happened earlier in the turn. It doesn't care whether Admiral Beckett Brass was on the battlefield when those Pirates dealt combat damage, whether those creatures are still on the battlefield, or whether they're still Pirates.

If more than one player was dealt combat damage by three Pirates, you target only one permanent. It may be controlled by either of those players.

If one Pirate deals combat damage multiple times, most likely because it has double strike, it counts as only one of the three Pirates for Admiral Beckett Brass's triggered ability.

In a Two-Headed Giant game, combat damage dealt by Pirates your teammate controls will count when checking for Admiral Beckett Brass's ability.

In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well, and any effects that give the player control of permanents immediately end.

The control-change effect of Admiral Beckett Brass's triggered ability lasts indefinitely. It doesn't wear off during the cleanup step or when you lose control of Admiral Beckett Brass.

Admiral Brass, Unsinkable

When Admiral Brass, Unsinkable enters the battlefield, mill four cards.
At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may return target Pirate creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. It has base power and toughness 4/4. It gains haste until end of turn. (If a creature with a finality counter on it would die, exile it instead.)

Admiral Brass, Unsinkable's effect will overwrite any previous effects that set the returned creature's power and toughness to specific numbers. Effects that otherwise modify the returned creature's power and toughness will still apply no matter when they took effect. The same is true for +1/+1 counters.

Finality counters aren't keyword counters, and a finality counter doesn't give any abilities to the permanent it's on. If that permanent loses its abilities and then would go to a graveyard, it will still be exiled instead.

Finality counters don't stop permanents from going to zones other than the graveyard from the battlefield. For example, if a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into its owner's hand from the battlefield, it does so normally.

Finality counters work on any permanent, not only creatures. If a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into a graveyard from the battlefield, exile it instead.

Multiple finality counters on a single permanent are redundant.

When Admiral Brass, Unsinkable enters, mill four cards.
At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may return target Pirate creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. It has base power and toughness 4/4. It gains haste until end of turn. (If a creature with a finality counter on it would die, exile it instead.)

When Admiral Brass, Unsinkable enters the battlefield, mill four cards.
At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may return target Pirate creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. It has base power and toughness 4/4. It gains haste until end of turn.

"You can come back once you've learned some manners—and figured out how to reconstitute your physical forms."

Aetherize

Return all attacking creatures to their owner's hand.

An "attacking creature" is one that has been declared as an attacker this combat, or one that was put onto the battlefield attacking this combat. Unless that creature leaves combat, it continues to be an attacking creature through the end of combat step, even if the player it was attacking has left the game, or the planeswalker it was attacking has left combat. There's no such thing as an attacking creature outside of the combat phase.

"These lost children of Aclazotz are misguided, but perhaps there can be reconciliation of our ideals without war."

Akal Pakal, First Among Equals

At the beginning of each player's end step, if an artifact entered the battlefield under your control this turn, look at the top two cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and the other into your graveyard.

If there is only one card in your library, you put it into your hand.

The ability will trigger no matter what happened to the artifact after it entered. It may have left the battlefield, come under another player's control, or stopped being an artifact.

Akawalli, the Seething Tower

Descend 4 — As long as there are four or more permanent cards in your graveyard, Akawalli, the Seething Tower gets +2/+2 and has trample.
Descend 8 — As long as there are eight or more permanent cards in your graveyard, Akawalli gets an additional +2/+2 and can't be blocked by more than one creature.

Cards with the ability word "descend N" have abilities that care if you have at least N permanent cards in your graveyard.

Some descend triggered abilities include intervening "if" clauses (i.e. "if you have [four or eight] permanent cards in your graveyard" in the middle of the ability). Each of these abilities checks your graveyard at the moment it would trigger to see if it does. If you don't have the required number of permanent cards in your graveyard at that time, the ability doesn't trigger at all. If it does trigger, it will check again as it tries to resolve. If you don't have the required number of permanent cards in your graveyard at that time, the ability won't resolve and none of its effects will happen.

Akroma's Will

Choose one. If you control a commander as you cast this spell, you may choose both.
• Creatures you control gain flying, vigilance, and double strike until end of turn.
• Creatures you control gain lifelink, indestructible, and protection from all colors until end of turn.

Even though the card is named after a specific character, controlling any commander will satisfy its condition.

Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take any actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove your commander to change how many modes you may choose.

Once you've chosen both modes for the spell, it doesn't matter whether you continue to control a commander. This is true even if you somehow no longer control a commander as you finish casting the spell.

The commander you control doesn't have to be your commander.

There's no extra bonus if you control more than one commander.

Choose one. If you control a commander as you cast this spell, you may choose both instead.
• Creatures you control gain flying, vigilance, and double strike until end of turn.
• Creatures you control gain lifelink, indestructible, and protection from each color until end of turn.

Persecuted alchemists fled deep into Kessig's wilds, seeking solitude to continue their ghoulish craft.

Alchemist's Refuge

{T}: Add {C}.
{G}{U}, {T}: You may cast spells this turn as though they had flash.

The last ability applies to nonland cards in any zone, provided something is allowing you to cast them. For example, you could cast a sorcery with flashback as though it had flash.

You can cast a nonland card with flash any time you could cast an instant.

Altar of the Wretched // Wretched Bonemass

Craft abilities are activated abilities with costs that have a mana component as well as an additional "materials" component.

Craft abilities are written "Craft with [materials] [mana]", which means "[Mana], Exile this permanent, Exile [materials] from among permanents you control and/or cards in your graveyard: Return this card to the battlefield transformed under its owner's control. Activate only as a sorcery."

If a card that isn't a transforming double-faced card becomes a copy of a card with craft, it'll stay in exile if you activate the craft ability. It won't return to the battlefield.

If any of the exiled cards has a characteristic-defining ability that defines its power and/or toughness, that ability will apply. For example, if you used Souls of the Lost to craft Wretched Bonemass, its power and toughness while in exile are determined by the number of permanent cards in your graveyard, and Wretched Bonemass's power and toughness will change as the number of permanent cards in your graveyard changes. If the characteristic-defining ability can't be applied, then use 0.

If the materials required include multiple objects, you may exile some of them from among permanents you control and the rest from among cards in your graveyard. You don't have to choose all permanents or all cards from your graveyard.

The back faces of some cards with craft refer to cards "used to craft" it. This refers to the cards exiled as part of the cost of the craft ability of the front face. Those cards are considered to be "used to craft" that permanent as long as they remain exiled and the permanent remains on the battlefield, even if the permanent's controller changes or some of its characteristics change (because of a copy effect, for example.)

You may exile tokens you control as part of the materials required. However, because they aren't cards and won't stay in exile, any abilities that refer to what you "used to craft" the back faces won't refer to anything.

When Altar of the Wretched enters, you may sacrifice a nontoken creature. If you do, draw X cards, then mill X cards, where X is that creature's power.
Craft with one or more creatures {2}{B}{B}
{2}{B}: Return Altar of the Wretched from your graveyard to your hand.

Wretched Bonemass's power and toughness are each equal to the total power of the exiled cards used to craft it.
Wretched Bonemass has flying as long as an exiled card used to craft it has flying. The same is true for first strike, double strike, deathtouch, haste, hexproof, indestructible, lifelink, menace, protection, reach, trample, and vigilance.

Amalia Benavides Aguirre

Ward—
Pay 3 life.
Whenever you gain life, Amalia Benavides Aguirre explores. Then destroy all other creatures if its power is exactly 20. (To have this creature explore, reveal the top card of your library. Put that card into your hand if it's a land. Otherwise, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature, then put the card back or put it into your graveyard.)

Amalia Benavides Aguirre's power is checked only once, as the triggered ability resolves. If it is no longer on the battlefield at that point, use its power as it last existed on the battlefield.

Amalia Benavides Aguirre's power must be exactly 20 during the resolution of its last ability after it finishes exploring in order to destroy all other creatures. If it's more or less than 20, nothing is destroyed.

If a resolving spell or ability instructs a specific creature to explore but that creature has left the battlefield, the creature still explores. If you reveal a nonland card this way, you won't put a +1/+1 counter on anything, but you may put the revealed card into your graveyard. Effects that trigger "whenever a creature explores" trigger as appropriate.

If an ability instructs a creature to explore, its controller reveals the top card of their library. If it's a land card, they'll put it into their hand. Otherwise, they'll put a +1/+1 counter on that creature, then choose to either leave that card on top of their library or put it into their graveyard.

If multiple creatures with lifelink you control deal combat damage at the same time, the damage dealt by each of those creatures is a separate life-gaining event and Amalia Benavides Aguirre's ability will trigger that many times.

If no card is revealed, most likely because that player's library is empty, the exploring creature receives a +1/+1 counter.

In some unusual cases, noncreature permanents may explore. For example, if the creature card returned by Defossilize is somehow not a creature once it's on the battlefield, it can still explore. You'll take all the same actions, and you may end up putting a +1/+1 counter on the permanent. (Note that some effects target a creature, and those effects would still require a legal target to have it explore.)

Once an ability that causes a creature to explore begins to resolve, no player may take any other actions until it's done. Notably, opponents can't try to remove the exploring creature after you reveal a nonland card but before it receives a counter.

Some spells or abilities might cause a creature to explore multiple times in a row. If you reveal a nonland card when a creature explores and leave it on top of your library, then the creature explores again immediately afterwards, you'll reveal the same card again.

The instruction for Amalia Benavides Aguirre to explore and the effect that occurs if Amalia Benavides Aguirre's power is exactly 20 are all part of the same ability. Players do not get to chance to respond to the ability after knowing the result of the explore.

Ward—Pay 3 life.

Amphin Mutineer

When Amphin Mutineer enters the battlefield, exile up to one target non-Salamander creature. That creature's controller creates a 4/3 blue Salamander Warrior creature token.
Encore {4}{U}{U} ({4}{U}{U}, Exile this card from your graveyard: For each opponent, create a token copy that attacks that opponent this turn if able. They gain haste. Sacrifice them at the beginning of the next end step. Activate only as a sorcery.)

Each token must attack the appropriate player if able.

Exiling the card with encore is a cost to activate the ability. Once you announce that you're activating it, no player may take actions until you've finished. They can't try to remove the card from your graveyard to stop you from paying the cost.

If one of the tokens can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having it attack, you aren't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.

If one of the tokens somehow is under another player's control as the delayed triggered ability resolves, you can't sacrifice that token. It remains on the battlefield indefinitely, even if you regain control of it later.

If the target non-Salamander creature is an illegal target by the time Amphin Mutineer's ability tries to resolve, the ability doesn't resolve. No player creates a Salamander Warrior token.

Opponents who have left the game aren't counted when determining how many tokens to create.

The tokens copy only what's on the original card. Effects that modified that creature when it was previously on the battlefield won't be copied.

If an effect stops a token from attacking a specific player, that token can attack any player, planeswalker, or battle, or not attack at all. If the effect stops the token from attacking a specific player unless a cost is paid, you don't have to pay that cost unless you want to attack that player.

When Amphin Mutineer enters, exile up to one target non-Salamander creature. That creature's controller creates a 4/3 blue Salamander Warrior creature token.
Encore {4}{U}{U} ({4}{U}{U}, Exile this card from your graveyard: For each opponent, create a token copy that attacks that opponent this turn if able. They gain haste. Sacrifice them at the beginning of the next end step. Activate only as a sorcery.)

"Everyone is obsessed with this cosmium stuff, but I can sense some kind of comparable power in this droplet of ancient amber."

Amulet of Vigor

Whenever a permanent enters the battlefield tapped and under your control, untap it.

For Amulet of Vigor's ability to trigger, a permanent must enter tapped due to an effect that says "put [the permanent] onto the battlefield tapped," "[this permanent] enters tapped," or the like. If it enters untapped, the ability won't trigger, even if you tap that permanent afterward.

If you control more than one Amulet of Vigor, each Amulet's ability triggers when a permanent enters tapped and under your control. The first ability that resolves will untap that permanent. If the permanent somehow becomes tapped again before the next ability resolves, the next ability will untap it as well (and so on).

Whenever a permanent you control enters tapped, untap it.

"You surface-dwellers may have forgotten your history, but it has not forgotten you."
—Akal Pakal, First Steward of Oteclan

Ancestors' Aid

Target creature gets +2/+0 and gains first strike until end of turn.
Create a Treasure token. (It's an artifact with "{T}, Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color.")

If the target of Ancestors' Aid is illegal as the spell tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't create a Treasure token.

A typical conversation with Echoes is three parts wisdom and one part gossip.

Ancestral Reminiscence

Captain Angrath cares less about treasure than mayhem. If he can't leave Ixalan, he'll burn the plane down.

Angrath's Marauders

If a source you control would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage to that permanent or player instead.

If a creature with trample you control would deal combat damage to a blocking creature while you control Angrath's Marauders, you must assign its unmodified damage. For example, a 3/3 creature with trample blocked by a 2/2 creature can have at most 1 damage assigned to the defending player. It will then deal 4 damage to the blocking creature and 2 damage to the defending player.

If an effect such as that of Chandra's Pyrohelix asks you to divide damage among targets, you must divide the unmodified damage before doubling it.

If you control a second Angrath's Marauders, damage dealt by sources you control will be multiplied by 4. If you control a third, it will be multiplied by 8, and so on.

"If we are to protect this world, we can no longer hide within it!"

Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon

Whenever you attack with one or more non-Gnome creatures, put a +1/+1 counter on Anim Pakal, then create X 1/1 colorless Gnome artifact creature tokens that are tapped and attacking, where X is the number of +1/+1 counters on Anim Pakal.

Although the Gnome tokens enter the battlefield as attacking creatures, they were never declared as attacking creatures. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won't trigger when they enter the battlefield attacking.

Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon doesn't have to be one of the non-Gnome creatures you attack with in order for its ability to trigger, but it can be.

If Anim Pakal is no longer on the battlefield when the triggered ability resolves, you'll still create Gnomes. Use the number of +1/+1 counters that were on it when it was last on the battlefield.

You choose which player, planeswalker, or battle the Gnome tokens are attacking. Each Gnome token can enter attacking a different player, planeswalker, or battle, and they don't need to be the same ones that the non-Gnome creatures are attacking.

The pull of duty was so strong that they barely paused to notice they'd died.

Another Chance

You may mill two cards. Then return up to two creature cards from your graveyard to your hand. (To mill two cards, put the top two cards of your library into your graveyard.)

If you don't have at least two cards in your library, you can't choose to mill two cards.

The creature cards you return to your hand don't have to be any of the cards you milled. They can be cards that were already in your graveyard before you milled.

Apex Altisaur

When Apex Altisaur enters the battlefield, it fights up to one target creature you don't control.
Enrage — Whenever Apex Altisaur is dealt damage, it fights up to one target creature you don't control.

If Apex Altisaur fights a creature while either of its abilities is resolving, being dealt damage this way causes its second ability to trigger. It may fight several times in a row this way.

If the target creature is an illegal target when Apex Altisaur's last ability tries to resolve, the ability doesn't resolve. If it's a legal target but Apex Altisaur is no longer on the battlefield when the ability resolves (perhaps because it has already died from picking too many fights) the target creature won't deal or be dealt damage.

When Apex Altisaur enters, it fights up to one target creature you don't control.
Enrage — Whenever Apex Altisaur is dealt damage, it fights up to one target creature you don't control.

Arcane Signet

{T}: Add one mana of any color in your commander's color identity.

If you don't have a commander, Arcane Signet's ability produces no mana.

If you have two commanders, the ability adds one mana of any color in their combined color identities.

If your commander is a card that has no colors in its color identity, Arcane Signet's ability produces no mana. It doesn't produce {C}.

It started as a mere drop of water. The Magic Mirror crystallized it into much more.

Arch of Orazca

Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city's blessing for the rest of the game.)
{T}: Add {C}.
{5}, {T}: Draw a card. Activate only if you have the city's blessing.

A permanent is any object on the battlefield, including tokens and lands. Spells and emblems aren't permanents.

Ascend on a permanent isn't a triggered ability and doesn't use the stack. Players can respond to a spell that will give you your tenth permanent, but they can't respond to getting the city's blessing once you control that tenth permanent. This means that if your tenth permanent is a land you play, players can't respond before you get the city's blessing.

If you cast a spell with ascend, you don't get the city's blessing until it resolves. Players may respond to that spell by trying to change whether you get the city's blessing.

If you control ten permanents but don't control a permanent or resolving spell with ascend, you don't get the city's blessing. For example, if you control ten permanents, lose control of one, then cast Golden Demise, you won't have the city's blessing and the spell will affect creatures you control.

If your tenth permanent enters the battlefield and then a permanent leaves the battlefield immediately afterwards (most likely due to the "Legend Rule" or due to being a creature with 0 toughness), you get the city's blessing before it leaves the battlefield.

Once you have the city's blessing, you have it for the rest of the game, even if you lose control of some or all of your permanents. The city's blessing isn't a permanent itself and can't be removed by any effect.

Archaeomancer's Map

When Archaeomancer's Map enters the battlefield, search your library for up to two basic Plains cards, reveal them, put them into your hand, then shuffle.
Whenever a land enters the battlefield under an opponent's control, if that player controls more lands than you, you may put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield.

The last ability triggers only if that opponent controls more lands than you after the land enters the battlefield. The ability will check again as it tries to resolve. If that opponent doesn't still control more lands than you at that time, the ability won't resolve.

When Archaeomancer's Map enters, search your library for up to two basic Plains cards, reveal them, put them into your hand, then shuffle.
Whenever a land an opponent controls enters, if that player controls more lands than you, you may put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield.

Arm-Mounted Anchor

Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and has menace.
Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, draw two cards. Then discard two cards unless you discard a Pirate card.
Equip {2}. This ability costs {2} less to activate if you have one or fewer cards in hand.

You can discard either one Pirate card or two cards which may or may not be Pirates. If you really want to, you can discard two Pirate cards. (Admiral Brass will remember this.)

"She's devoted to protecting her herd. We're just lucky she considers us part of it."
—Huatli

Armored Kincaller

When Armored Kincaller enters the battlefield, you may reveal a Dinosaur card from your hand. If you do or if you control another Dinosaur, you gain 3 life.

Whether or not you control another Dinosaur is checked only as Armored Kincaller's ability is resolving. It doesn't matter if you still control Armored Kincaller at the time, or if it's still a Dinosaur.

When Armored Kincaller enters, you may reveal a Dinosaur card from your hand. If you do or if you control another Dinosaur, you gain 3 life.

Few humans are steady-handed enough to match a gnome's precision. Even the slightest change to a single line can wildly alter a glyph's meaning.

Attentive Sunscribe

Whenever Attentive Sunscribe becomes tapped, scry 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card on the bottom.)

Streams of gold and bright feathers flash in the orb, visions of past and future.

Atzocan Seer

{T}: Add one mana of any color.
Sacrifice Atzocan Seer: Return target Dinosaur card from your graveyard to your hand.

Atzocan Seer's second ability doesn't include the {T} symbol. You can activate that ability even if it's already been tapped, perhaps because you activated its first ability.

If an effect refers to a "[subtype] spell" or "[subtype] card," it refers only to a spell or card that has that subtype. For example, March of the Drowned is a card that benefits Pirates and features Pirates in its illustration, but it isn't a Pirate card.

Austere Command

Choose two —
• Destroy all artifacts.
• Destroy all enchantments.
• Destroy all creatures with mana value 3 or less.
• Destroy all creatures with mana value 4 or greater.

Each of the chosen modes happens sequentially. If a permanent has an ability that triggers whenever it or another permanent is destroyed, it will see permanents destroyed at the same time as it or before it, but not permanents destroyed by later modes.

If a card is exiled "until" another permanent leaves the battlefield, the exiled card returns to the battlefield immediately after that permanent leaves the battlefield during Austere Command's resolution, and it may be destroyed by a later mode.

If the first and last modes are chosen, an artifact creature with mana value 4 or greater will have to be regenerated twice to survive. This is because the modes happen sequentially, and the regeneration "shield" is used up by the first one. The same is true with any other combination of modes that covers one permanent twice.

"Your concern for my safety is touching, but as long as your gunners remain reliably erratic, I see no reason to change course."

Azure Fleet Admiral

When Azure Fleet Admiral enters the battlefield, you become the monarch.
Azure Fleet Admiral can't be blocked by creatures the monarch controls.

Azure Fleet Admiral's last ability normally means that it can't be blocked while attacking the monarch or a planeswalker the monarch controls. In some variants with shared team turns, such as Two-Headed Giant, creatures controlled by the monarch's teammate can block Azure Fleet Admiral, even if it's attacking the monarch.

If combat damage dealt to the monarch causes that player to lose the game, the triggered ability that causes the controller of the attacking creature to become the monarch doesn't resolve. In most cases, the controller of the attacking creature will still become the monarch as it is likely their turn.

If the monarch leaves the game during another player's turn, that player becomes the monarch. If the monarch leaves the game during their turn, the next player in turn order becomes the monarch.

If the triggered ability that causes the monarch to draw a card goes on the stack and a different player becomes the monarch before that ability resolves, the first player will still draw the card.

When Azure Fleet Admiral enters, you become the monarch.
Azure Fleet Admiral can't be blocked by creatures the monarch controls.
