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.

Word of Command (30A-430) is a rare black instant from the 30th Anniversary Edition that lets you look at an opponent’s hand and choose a card for them to play if possible. While that chosen card is played, you control the opponent for the duration of Word of Command’s resolution, including choices about lands and mana abilities needed to play the card. This can be used to force lands, spells, or otherwise disrupt timing and resource usage in a game.
