<p>No. If you could choose the same mode more than once, the card would explicitly state that (e.g. <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bRighteous%20Confluence%5d">Righteous Confluence</a>).</p>

<p>This card came up as a discussion.  One person was insisting you could choose the same option for <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bIncendiary%20Command%5d">Incendiary Command</a> twice and there is no ruling from MTG.  Similar cards say you can only chose an option once. Does anyone know which is right?</p>

You are commanded to choose two, if you choose one twice, you are not choosing two, you are choosing one, so no.

This card came up as a discussion. One person was insisting you could choose the same option for [Incendiary Command](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bIncendiary%20Command%5d) twice and there is no ruling from MTG. Similar cards say you can only chose an option once. Does anyone know which is right?

No. If you could choose the same mode more than once, the card would explicitly state that (e.g. [Righteous Confluence](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bRighteous%20Confluence%5d)).
