by Sorrow:

This would not disallow you to play any spells already in your deck (say you had Chorus of the Conclave as your general and made Llanowar Elves their general, they could still cast white spells as the deck had access to white upon its creation).
Commander damage would transfer to that player's new commander.

ability costs {6} instead of 4.

by SadisticMystic:

"Okay, so I just manifested a Time Stretch, guess I'll make that face down creature into my commander now..."

by Sorrow:

Well that is inconvenient to say the least.

owner's instead of player's

by Link:

This reminds me of Ascend into Immortality and Solunara, Flame of Eternity. I intentionally restricted both of those to legendary creatures, mostly for flavor reasons. SadisticMystic raises a great development reason, though.

I would limit this to your own creatures. It seems pretty cruel otherwise.

by Sorrow:

The point of this was to punish commanders like Prossh, Skyraider of Kher since the tuck rule was removed.

by Link:

I struggled with that rule at first myself, but this there's no coming back from. At least you could potentially draw your Commander again if he got tucked.
