French	Début du dénouement	Éphémère	Ce sort ne peut pas être contrecarré. Piochez deux cartes, puis amassez des zombies X, X étant le nombre de cartes dans votre main. (Mettez X marqueurs +1/+1 sur une armée que vous contrôlez. C'est aussi un zombie. Si vous ne contrôlez pas d'armée, créez d'abord un jeton de créature 0/0 noire Zombie et Armée.)	692338
German	Das Ende einläuten	Spontanzauber	Dieser Zauberspruch kann nicht neutralisiert werden. Ziehe zwei Karten und wende dann Zombie-Aufmarsch X an, wobei X gleich der Anzahl an Karten auf deiner Hand ist. (Lege X +1/+1-Marken auf eine Armee, die du kontrollierst. Sie ist auch ein Zombie. Falls du keine Armee kontrollierst, erzeuge zuerst einen 0/0 schwarzen Zombie-Armee-Kreaturenspielstein.)	692288
Italian	Avviare il Piano Finale	Istantaneo	Questa magia non può essere neutralizzata. Pesca due carte, poi recluta Zombie X, dove X è il numero di carte nella tua mano. (Metti X segnalini +1/+1 su un Esercito che controlli. È anche uno Zombie. Se non controlli un Esercito, crea prima una pedina creatura Esercito Zombie 0/0 nera.)	692363
Japanese	終局の始まり	インスタント	この呪文は打ち消されない。カード２枚を引き、その後、ゾンビ動員Ｘを行う。Ｘは、あなたの手札にあるカードの枚数に等しい。（あなたがコントロールしている軍団１体の上に＋１/＋１カウンターＸ個を置く。それはゾンビでもある。あなたが軍団をコントロールしていないなら、その前に、黒の０/０のゾンビ・軍団・クリーチャー・トークン１体を生成する。）	692388
Spanish	Inicio del plan maestro	Instantáneo	Este hechizo no puede ser contrarrestado. Roba dos cartas y luego enrola X Zombies, donde X es la cantidad de cartas en tu mano. (Pon X contadores +1/+1 sobre un Ejército que controlas. También es un Zombie. Si no controlas un Ejército, crea primero una ficha de criatura Ejército Zombie negra 0/0.)	692313

Rulings

date	text
2019-05-03	A spell or ability that counters spells can still target Commence the Endgame. When that spell or ability resolves, Commence the Endgame won't be countered, but any additional effects of that spell or ability will still happen.
2019-05-03	You draw two cards and amass X all while Commence the Endgame is resolving. Nothing can happen between the two, and no player may choose to take actions.
2023-06-16	Amass Orcs works the same way, except you create a 0/0 black Orc Army creature token if you don't control an Army. If the Army creature you chose isn't already an Orc, it becomes an Orc in addition to its other types. By combining cards with amass Orcs and amass Zombies, you can end up with an Orc Zombie Army.
2023-06-16	Amass abilities are now written as "amass [subtype] N." Previous cards with amass have received errata to say "amass Zombies N."
2023-06-16	If you don't control an Army, the Zombie Army token you create enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature before receiving counters. Any abilities that trigger when a creature with a certain power enters the battlefield, such as that of Mentor of the Meek, will see the token enter as a 0/0 creature before it gets +1/+1 counters.
2023-06-16	In the rare case that you control multiple Army creatures (perhaps because you played a creature with changeling) while you amass Zombies, you choose which of your Army creatures to put the +1/+1 counters on. If that creature isn't a Zombie, it becomes a Zombie in addition to its other types.
2023-06-16	Some cards refer to the "amassed Army." That means the Army creature you chose to receive counters, even if no counters were placed on it for some reason.
2023-06-16	To amass Zombies N, if you don't control an Army creature, create a 0/0 black Zombie Army creature token. Then you choose an Army creature you control and put N +1/+1 counters on it. If that Army isn't already a Zombie, it becomes a Zombie in addition to its other types.
