What it does

As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may collect evidence 8. (Exile cards with total mana value 8 or greater from your graveyard.)

Search your library for a basic land card. If evidence was collected, instead search your library for a creature or land card. Reveal that card, put it into your hand, then shuffle.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2024-02-02

    The collect evidence ability of Analyze the Pollen allows you to find a nonbasic land card.

  • 2024-02-02

    If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all.

  • 2024-02-02

    Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence.

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

Every version of Analyze the Pollen

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 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 Analyze the Pollen. It runs a name search across every version, which covers 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.
