Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2014-02-01

    While you control an Archetype, continuous effects generated by the resolution of spells and abilities that would give the specified ability to creatures your opponents control aren't created. For example, if you control Archetype of Courage, a spell cast by an opponent that gives creatures they control first strike wouldn't cause the creatures to have first strike, even if later in the turn Archetype of Courage left the battlefield. (If the spell has additional effects, such as raising the power of the creatures, those effects will apply as normal.)

  • 2014-02-01

    The Archetype's second ability applies to each creature controlled by any of your opponents, no matter when it entered the battlefield.

  • 2014-02-01

    If you and an opponent each control the same Archetype, no creature controlled by any player will have the appropriate ability.

  • 2014-02-01

    Conversely, continuous effects generated by static abilities (such as an Aura that granted the appropriate ability) would resume applying if the Archetype left the battlefield.

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

Every version of Archetype of Imagination

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 Archetype of Imagination — 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.
