  • Controlling a player doesn't allow you to look at that player's sideboard. If an effect instructs that player to choose a card from outside the game, you can't have that player choose any card.
  • If the targeted player skips their next turn, you'll control the next turn the affected player actually takes.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, gaining control of a player causes you to gain control of each player on that team.
  • Multiple player-controlling effects that affect the same player overwrite each other. The last one to be created is the one that works.
  • The player you're controlling is still the active player during that turn.
  • While controlling another player, you also continue to make your own choices and decisions.
  • While controlling another player, you can see all cards in the game that player can see. This includes cards in that player's hand, face-down cards that player controls, and any cards in that player's library the player may look at.
  • While controlling another player, you make all choices and decisions that player is allowed to make or is told to make during that turn. This includes choices about what spells to cast or what abilities to activate, as well as any decisions called for by triggered abilities or for any other reason.
  • You also can't make any choices or decisions for the player that would be called for by the tournament rules (such as whether to take an intentional draw or whether to call a judge).
  • You can use only the affected player's resources (cards, mana, and so on) to pay costs for that player; you can't use your own. Similarly, you can use the affected player's resources only to pay that player's costs; you can't spend them on your costs.
  • You can't make any illegal decisions or illegal choices—you can't do anything that player couldn't do. You can't make choices or decisions for that player that aren't called for by the game rules or by any cards, permanents, spells, abilities, and so on. If an effect causes another player to make decisions that the affected player would normally make (such as Master Warcraft does), that effect takes precedence. In other words, if the affected player wouldn't make a decision, you wouldn't make that decision on that player's behalf.
  • You can't make the affected player concede. That player may choose to concede at any time, even while you're controlling that player.
  • You could gain control of yourself using Mindslaver, but gaining control of yourself doesn't really do anything.
  • You only control the player. You don't control any of that player's permanents, spells, or abilities.

  • The life lost is rounded up, not the remaining life total. For example, if the target player has 7 life, they lose 4 life and end up with 3. Similarly, the number of cards drawn is rounded up, not the number of cards remaining in the library.
  • To draw the cards, first the player determines how many cards to draw, then draws them. This event may be modified so that a different number of cards are actually drawn.

  • Abilities that create replacement effects, such as a permanent entering the battlefield tapped or with counters on it, are unaffected by Sen Triplets. Abilities that apply “as [this creature] enters the battlefield” are also replacement effects and are unaffected.

  • Sen Triplets doesn't allow you to play more than one land during your turn or change when you may cast spells from the target opponent's hand.
  • The target opponent can't activate any abilities, including mana abilities.
  • Triggered abilities use the word “when,” “whenever,” or “at.” They're often written as “[Trigger condition], [effect].” Triggered abilities are unaffected by Sen Triplets.
  • You can't activate abilities of cards in the target opponent's hand.

    Rules

  • To "play a card" is to either cast a spell or to put a land onto the battlefield using the main phase special action.
  • You do get to choose which lands get tapped. You can make them choose an optional mana generating ability of the land that they tap, such as making them tap and sacrifice the land instead of just tap it.
  • During the resolution of this spell, that player plays the chosen card.
  • If there is a non-mana way to cast a spell, as with Pitch Spells, you may require that way to be used if it is possible to do so.
  • Since this spell is an instant, your opponent gets a chance to respond to it as normal. Once this spell resolves, you look at your opponent's hand and choose a card. Note that it is common practice to respond to Word of Command by using up any spells or mana you have prior to letting it resolve.
  • Word of Command can't be used to force a player to play a card that isn't in their hand.
  • You control the player while this spell is resolving, which means you get to see anything they can see. If that player is required to search their library as part of playing the card or as part of its resolution if it's cast as a spell, then you can see the cards in that player's library as well.
  • You may Command your opponent to play a land (if they have not already done so this turn).
  • You must order your opponent to play the chosen card if it is possible to do so.
  • Your opponent can't counter the Word of Command after letting you look at their hand, but they can attempt to counter the spell you force them to cast.
  • Controlling a player doesn't allow you to look at that player's sideboard. If an effect instructs that player to choose a card from outside the game, you can't have that player choose any card.
  • While controlling another player, you can see all cards in the game that player can see. This includes cards in that player's hand, face-down cards that player controls, and any cards in that player's library the player may look at.

    Look at target opponent's hand and choose a card from it. You control that player until Word of Command finishes resolving. The player plays that card if able. While doing so, the player can activate mana abilities only if they're from lands that player controls and only if mana they produce is spent to activate other mana abilities of lands the player controls and/or to play that card. If the chosen card is cast as a spell, you control the player while that spell is resolving.
