Dudes, the card says target non creature spell. So Nicol Bolas could'nt be targeted by this.

@ Lithl & tcollins
You would be right here, except for the fact that spells can't target spells higher or equal to it on the stack, so you couldn't change a Counterspell to target Commandeer

Not possible. By the time you get to choose a new target, Commandeer will already have resolved.

Fictionarious (and everyone else)--you can't use Commandeer to make a counterspell counter itself, but you can use it to change the target of that counterspell to Commandeer--and then have Commandeer resolve before the counterspell has a chance to (since it is on the top of the stack) and leave the counterspell without any legal targets.

Rather than try and make a counterpsell counter itself, I think you would be better off changing it's target to commandeer.

You want me to sacrifice a creature, lose 5 life, and discard 3 cards? Well, I'll pitch 3 cards. . . Thanks for that Cruel Ultimatum!

Perfect for EDH, now that EDH is called Commander.
Sadly, you cannot Commandeer someone's Commander.

So fantastic. Yep, if you cast it for free - and you probably will a lot of the time - you're giving yourself -1 card advantage (you trade one card for theirs, they give up one card, you give up two cards = -1 to you), but of course, if that card is a bomb it's worth it, and even if it's as simple as "draw 2 cards" you neutralize card wise. Draw 3 cards or more, and you pull ahead.
It's probably a good thing it says "noncreature spell"; if you could take any spell with this it'd be broken as all heck.

Another nasty blue card made to counter uncounterable/pro blue/shroud/hexproof type of cards
The only thing it can't stop is Split Second
4.5/5

One of the best responses ever to Bribery.
Probably inferior to Force of Will and Misdirection for tournaments,
but *great* for causal games- especially multiplayer EDH,
where you're almost guaranteed to find a spell worth grabbing.
