If I use Path of Ancestry's ability to cast a card that shares a card type with only one of my commanders, does the scry ability work?
Example:
My commanders are Trynn, Champion of Freedom and Silvar, Devourer of the Free. If I cast a Human, Soldier, Cat, or Nightmare card, the scry ability triggers? Or do I somehow choose a commander that it should look at?

702.123e If an effect refers to your commander while you have two commanders, it refers to either one. If an effect causes you to perform an action on your commander and it could affect both, you choose which it refers to at the time the effect is applied.
So yes, the scry will trigger if you cast a creature spell that shares a creature type with either of your commanders.
