Encore is a keyword ability specifically used in the Commander format. Encore was introduced in Commander Legends. It has similarities with unearth, flashback, and myriad.

Description

Encore is effective in two-player duels but really shines in multiplayer games.

Encore is an activated ability that can be activated only if the creature card that has it is in your graveyard. It only appears on non-legendary creatures. You can pay a creature's encore cost and exile it from your graveyard to create a number of token copies of it equal to your number of opponents. Each of those tokens has haste, must attack that player, and is sacrificed during the end step.

Examples

Example

Briarblade Adept
Creature — Elf Assassin
3/4
Whenever Briarblade Adept attacks, target creature an opponent controls gets -1/-1 until end of turn.
Encore (, Exile this card from your graveyard: For each opponent, create a token copy that attacks that opponent this turn if able. They gain haste. Sacrifice them at the beginning of the next end step. Activate only as a sorcery.)

Rulings

• Each token must attack the opponent it's associated with if able.
• In some situations, they may not be able to attack the opponent they're supposed to but can attack another opponent or opposing planeswalker. They're free to do so.
