Rare!? Oh no! I guess that means all 5 decks won't have it. I guess there probably will be a new common-across-all-decks card like Command Tower, but this probably won't be it.
I believe this is the only card that can allow Haakon, Stromgald Scourge to be played as a commander. Move him to your hand with this, then use a discard effect...

I like Command Beacon for decks with expensive commanders whose Commander tax can get out of hand after being killed 2 or 3 times. Other than that, it makes certain generals actual viable candidates for play like Phage, the untouchable and the Myojin (who only get Divinity counters when played from your hand).
This just seems in poor taste. The commander tax is an important balancing mechanism for the format, and this lets you circumvent it really cheaply. Would have much preferred if this exiled itself.

I primarily play limited, so most of my spoiler season comments view cards through that lens.
Weird that this isn't a common. It's got a lot of really interesting interactions, but it's not a very complex card in its own right - certainly not any moreso than Opal Palace, and it seems like it should be filling the same "Commander-only utility land" spot. Wonder which deck's going to end up getting it? (...probably one of the Green ones, since they can search it up. Also plays well with the secondary commander in BG, being a sacrifice effect, as well as with the centaur that's almost definitely in that deck as well, so...yeah, probably the Golgari deck.)

Me: *after getting my Gisela killed 3 times in a row* "My commander tax is too damn high!"
Wizards: here ya go!

I like this card a lot. Also creates new strategies to deal with against commanders that like getting hated on to avoid the commander tax. Too bad its a rare... would think it would be uncommon. Dodging the tax, any commander can get behind that!

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.

Good way to avoid the tax and a must have for Phage
I'll definitely be using that for Gisela, who starts to get very expensive very quickly.

Now, all you need is a way to get it (the land) from your graveyard back into your hand.

It also enables previously meh or unusable commanders like Phage the Untouchable and Haakon, Stromgald Scourge.
And Petrified Field, while we're at it?

How about directly into play? Of course, Life from the Loam, Grim Discovery, Petrified Field, Titania, Protector of Argoth, and Restore would all be options.

Saccing a land to avoid paying the Commander tax? That's good for anyone, but I would really like to use this with Titania.
Makes sure your expensive Eldrazi Titan of choice wont get too expensive at all.
