About Bow to My Command

Bow to My Command, Ongoing scheme, designed by Dan Scott first released in May, 2020 in the set Archenemy: Nicol Bolas Schemes and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.34.

Bow to My Command would be particularly effective in a control or stax deck that aims to limit opponents' resources and slow down their game plan while maintaining board presence. It can be especially beneficial in multiplayer formats where you can choose a specific opponent to hinder, allowing you to focus on other threats. While there are other cards that offer similar effects, such as Propaganda or Ghostly Prison, which discourage attacks, Bow to My Command has the added strategic layer of requiring your chosen opponent to sacrifice creature power to abandon the scheme, making it unique. Overall, it could see play in the right deck, especially if you can protect it and leverage the political dynamics of multiplayer games.
