Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
What it does
(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III.)
I — Destroy target nonland permanent.
II — Mill three cards.
III — You may discard a card. When you do, return target creature or land card from your graveyard to your hand.
Rulings
One official ruling, as Wizards published it.
- 2025-04-04
You don’t choose a target for Awaken the Honored Dead’s final chapter ability at the time it triggers. Rather, a second “reflexive” ability triggers when you discard a card this way. You choose a target for that ability as it goes on the stack. You may choose the card you just discarded as the target or a card that was already in your graveyard. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

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.
