## Official Rulings
- *(2020-11-10)* Once the game begins, your two commanders are tracked separately. If you cast one, you won't have to pay an additional {2} the first time you cast the other. A player loses the game after having been dealt 21 damage from any one of them, not from both of them combined.
- *(2020-11-10)* If your Commander deck has two commanders, you can only include cards whose own color identities are also found in your commanders' combined color identities. If Falthis and Kediss are your commanders, your deck may contain cards with black and/or red in their color identity, but not cards with green, white, or blue.
- *(2020-11-10)* An effect that checks whether you control your commander is satisfied if you control one or both of your two commanders.
- *(2020-11-10)* An effect that instructs you to "cast" a card doesn't allow you to play lands.
- *(2020-11-10)* You may cast that card this turn even if Silas Renn leaves the battlefield.
- *(2020-11-10)* To have two commanders, both must have the partner ability as the game begins. Losing the ability during the game doesn't cause either to cease to be your commander.
