Here's the breakdown:
Command's Text:
"Target creature you control attacks this turn. This ability can't be countered."
Key Points:
* Command does not create a token: It doesn't put a creature into play. It simply makes a creature attack.
* Command itself is not a creature: It's an enchantment.
So, can Command be removed from play by a monster effect?
* Directly targeting Command: If a monster effect specifically targets enchantments and removes them from play, then yes, Command can be removed.
* Targeting the creature Command affects: If a monster effect targets the creature that Command is affecting and removes it from play, Command will also cease to function. This is because Command's effect is dependent on the creature it targets.
Important Considerations:
* Non-targeted effects: If a monster effect removes all creatures from play or something similar, Command will not be affected. This is because Command itself is not a creature and is not directly targeted.
* Timing is crucial: The timing of the monster effect matters. If it happens before Command's effect resolves, Command won't be able to target the creature.
In short:
Command can be removed from play indirectly by removing the creature it targets or by targeting the enchantment itself with a monster effect. However, if the monster effect doesn't specifically target either Command or the creature it affects, Command will remain in play.
Example:
* Monster Effect: "Destroy target enchantment." This would remove Command from play.
* Monster Effect: "Destroy all creatures." This would not affect Command, as it is an enchantment, not a creature.
Remember to always consult the card text and the monster effect's wording to determine how they interact.
