Command From the Shadows

Command From the Shadows is a Conspiracy card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "(Start the game with this conspiracy face up in the command zone.) Players play with each of their commanders face down and secret until they cast them for the first time. (Be sure to tell your opponent you're using this right at the beginning of the game, so they don't reveal their commanders to you yet!)"

Command From the Shadows has a mana cost of 0, which equals 0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It is a colorless card and can be cast with any color of mana.

Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.

Command From the Shadows's mana cost of 0 means you need to pay that much mana from your lands or other sources.

Colored symbols (W=White, U=Blue, B=Black, R=Red, G=Green) must be paid with that specific color, while numbers can be paid with any color.

Converted mana cost (now officially called "mana value") is the total amount of mana in a card's mana cost, regardless of color.

Command From the Shadows has a mana value of 0. This is important for effects that care about a spell's total cost, like cascade or cards that say "mana value 3 or less."

Oracle text is the official, current rules text for a Magic card as maintained by Wizards of the Coast. It supersedes any printed text on older cards.

Command From the Shadows's current oracle text is: "(Start the game with this conspiracy face up in the command zone.) Players play with each of their commanders face down and secret until they cast them for the first time. (Be sure to tell your opponent you're using this right at the beginning of the game, so they don't reveal their commanders to you yet!)"
