What it does

First strike

Whenever Altaïr attacks, exile up to one target Assassin creature card from your graveyard with a memory counter on it. Then for each creature card you own in exile with a memory counter on it, create a tapped and attacking token that's a copy of it. Exile those tokens at end of combat.

Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2024-07-05

    Although the tokens enter the battlefield attacking, they were never declared as attacking creatures. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won't trigger when they enter the battlefield attacking.

  • 2024-07-05

    If an exiled card has X in its mana cost, X is 0.

  • 2024-07-05

    Each of the tokens copies exactly what was printed on the card in exile and nothing else. They don't copy any information about the object the card was before it was exiled.

  • 2024-07-05

    You choose which player, planeswalker, or battle the tokens are attacking. Each token can enter attacking a different player, planeswalker, or battle, and they don't need to be the same one that Altaïr is attacking.

  • 2024-07-05

    If a card copied by one of the tokens had any "when [this permanent] enters the battlefield" abilities, then the token also has those abilities and will trigger them when it's created. Similarly, any "as [this permanent] enters the battlefield" or "[this permanent] enters the battlefield with" abilities that any of the tokens have copied will also work.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad

4 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
