Seller Description

Set: Alpha Edition
Type: Instant
Rarity: Rare
Cost: {B}{B}
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.


More than just a card, this is a unique artifact from the very beginning of Magic: The Gathering. We are proud to offer a highly-coveted Alpha Edition Word of Command, graded CGC 5.5 (EX+), with an incredibly rare autograph from the game's creator, Richard Garfield.

Grading Note: despite being in unplayed condition, the grade was likely impacted by a "lit cigarette" added to the artwork, by Richard Garfield during his signing. This detail gives the card a singular provenance, appealing to collectors.

Authenticated by JSA, this is a true "holy grail" for vintage MTG collectors, representing a pivotal moment in gaming history and a signature from the man who created it all.
