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 (CED-137) is a black Instant from Collectors' Edition that lets you look at an opponent's hand and choose a card they control to play. You gain control of that player while this spell resolves, forcing them to play the chosen card (including playing a land if legal) and restricting their mana ability usage to lands they control for that action. The effect also grants you access to any information that player would see while executing that play, such as searching their library if required.
