About Ray of Command

Ray of Command, Instant, designed by Harold McNeill first released in Jun, 1995 in the set Ice Age and was printed exactly in 7 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.80.

This card, Ray of Command, would be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's board state and gaining temporary control of key creatures to swing the game in your favor. While Ray of Command can be a useful tool in certain situations, there are potentially more efficient options available such as Control Magic or Treachery, which provide more permanent control over the target creature. Whether Ray of Command should see play ultimately depends on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck, as well as the overall metagame.
