Cryptic Command (IMA 48, Rare) is a versatile blue instant that first appeared in older sets and was reprinted in Iconic Masters. As you cast it you choose two different modes from countering a spell, returning a permanent to its owner’s hand, tapping all opponents’ creatures, or drawing a card, allowing flexible answers and tempo plays. Its modal, choose-two design makes it useful both as countermagic and as a tempo or card-advantage tool in control shells.
