Once the game begins, your two commanders are tracked separately. If you cast one, you won't have to pay an additional {2} the first time you cast the other. A player loses the game after having been dealt 21 damage from any one of them, not from both of them combined.
wotc27 Jan 2026
If your Commander deck has two commanders, you can only include cards whose own color identities are also found in your commanders' combined color identities. If Donatello, the Brains and Splinter, the Mentor are your commanders, your deck may contain cards with blue and/or black in their color identity, but not cards with red, green, or white. (If Leonardo, the Balance is one of your commanders, your deck may contain cards with any color or combination of colors in their color identity, regardless of who your other commander is.)
wotc27 Jan 2026
You don't need to control the spell or ability that creates the tokens, but you do have to be the one creating the tokens for Donatello's first ability to apply.
wotc27 Jan 2026
To have two commanders, both must have appropriate partner abilities as the game begins. Losing the ability during the game doesn't cause either to cease to be your commander.
wotc27 Jan 2026
The additional Mutagen token won't have any abilities the other tokens were created with. Anything else specified in the effect creating the token (such as tapped or "Exile that token at end of combat") applies to both the original tokens and the Mutagen token.
wotc27 Jan 2026
An effect that checks whether you control your commander is satisfied if you control one or both of your two commanders.
