What happens when a commander dies in Magic: The Gathering?
When your commander dies in MTG, you got options! You can either let it go to the graveyard as normal, or you can choose to move it to the command zone instead. If you let it hit the graveyard and it gets removed from the game or shuffled into the library, you can still scoop it back to the command zone. Remember though, each time you cast it from the command zone again, it's gonna cost ya 2 more mana than last time!

Commander dying? No sweat! Just plop it back into the command zone and re-cast it with a bit of extra mana next time. Easy-peasy!
Actually, letting your commander go to the graveyard can be a strategic move. Some decks thrive on graveyard shenanigans. So, don't just default to the command zone without thinking!
