Squad is a mechanic introduced in Warhammer 40,000 Commander Decks.[1][2]

Description

When you cast a creature with Squad, you may pay an additional cost any number of times. When it enters the battlefield, you may create that many tokens that are copies of it.

It can be thought of as the creature version of Replicate.

Rules

TBA

Example

Example

Arco-Flagellant {2}{B}
Creature — Human
3/1
Squad {2} (As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may pay {2} any number of times. When this creature enters the battlefield, create that many tokens that are copies of it.)
Arco-Flagellant can't block.
Endurant — Pay 3 life: Arco-Flagellant gains indestructible until end of turn.

Rulings

  • You may pay the squad cost any number of times. You will get a token that is a copy of that permanent for each time you paid the squad cost.
  • The ability will not trigger and tokens will not be created if the original spell has been countered or is otherwise no longer on the stack as the triggered ability resolves.
  • The tokens created by the squad ability aren't "cast," so any abilities that trigger when a spell is cast won't trigger for the copies.
  • If, for some reason, the creature doesn't have the squad ability when it's on the battlefield, the ability won't trigger, even if you've paid the squad cost one or more times.
