Rulings
A "commander you control" means a permanent on the battlefield that is a commander and is under your control. It can be your commander or one owned by another player. It doesn't refer to your commander in any other zone. Notably, if a player uses Bane's Contingency to counter a spell that would counter their commander, they do not scry or draw a card.

"My whims dictate the fate of nations. Your pitiful mortal magic is no more significant than a gnat buzzing in my ear."
