Rulings
- 2021-04-16
If you own multiple commanders on the battlefield and/or in the command zone, you choose one of them as Stinging Study resolves to determine the value of X.
- 2021-04-16
If your commander is under the control of another player as Stinging Study resolves, it is still on the battlefield and will still be used to determine the value of X.
