How does stealing a commander work in MTG?
In Magic The Gathering (MTG), stealing a commander is wicked fun but it's a bit tricky! You can snatch an opponent's commander right from under their nose using control spells or abilities. Think cards like "Control Magic" or "Act of Treason" which let you take control of a creature for a turn or indefinitely. But remember, if a commander would be put into a library, hand, or exile, its owner can choose to put it back in the command zone instead. So, while you can control someone's commander for a bit, they can get it back pretty easily.

Honestly, it's usually not worth the effort to steal a commander in MTG. They can just put it back in the command zone. Better to focus on other strategies.
I once stole my buddy's commander for the entire match with a sneaky enchantment. He was fuming, but I couldn't stop laughing. It's definitely possible, but depends heavily on what cards you're playing with!
