Friend or Foe
When you play a "Friend or Foe" spell, you choose one of those labels for each player. Of course, usually, you'd want to label your teammate "friend" but there are probably some rare instances when it's ideal to label your comrade "foe" to pull off certain strategies.
As explained on WOTC's site:
"After friends and foes are decided, all friends take the listed action at the same time. Immediately afterward, all the foes do their action at the same time. This is all while the spell is resolving, so no one can cast spells, activate abilities, or take other actions in between. If any choices are involved in an action, those choices are made in turn order among friends (or foes, or both, if applicable)."
Synopsis:
Welcome to Battlebond, where competitors battle in pairs. Recruit a trusted partner and fight shoulder-to-shoulder, hand-in-hand, or back-to-back for glory and the roar of the crowd! Forge an unbreakable bond with your combat companion and claim your place in the pantheon of champions
Battlebond will be released on June 8, 2018, the same release date as the new Commander Anthology products.
