If you're not playing a team game, 'your team' just means 'you.'Д«attlebond introduces the Azra creature type, and the Will and Rowan planeswalker types. Any card that refers to 'your team' refers to you or a teammate. The set also introduces a new term: ' your team'. Support, last seen in Oath of the Gatewatch, is a returning mechanic.The ones that aren't can't be commanders. They can be used as co-commanders (if legendary), and allow for the following: 'When this creature enters the battlefield, target player may put into their hand from their library, then shuffle.' Note that not all the partners in Battlebond are legendary. It limits the ability to certain card pairs in the set. Partner with is a variant of the Partner ability.Assist lets another player pay the generic mana cost of your spell, this way helping you to cast it.
