About Command Beacon

Command Beacon, Land, designed by Jonas De Ro first released in Nov, 2015 in the set Commander 2015 and was printed exactly in 12 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Casual. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 895.24. It's a key card in 1 combos.

A deck that heavily relies on its commander and wants to ensure consistent access to it would benefit from using Command Beacon, especially in a format like Commander where the commander is crucial to the deck's strategy. While there are alternative cards like Crystal Vein or High Market that offer different benefits, Command Beacon's ability to put the commander directly into the hand from the command zone can be invaluable in certain situations, making it a strong consideration for inclusion in decks that prioritize their commander's presence on the battlefield.

Rules

11/10/20

If your commander isn’t in the command zone (or you don’t have a commander) as the last ability resolves, nothing happens.

11/08/16

If you have two commanders with the partner ability in the command zone, Command Beacon’s effect puts one of your choice into your hand, not both.

11/04/15

If you cast a commander from your hand, the additional cost based on the number of times you’ve cast it from your command zone (sometimes referred to as the “commander tax”) doesn’t apply. Additionally, that casting won’t add to the tax if you later cast the commander from the command zone.
