Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2025-02-07

    This creature’s second ability isn’t a mana ability. It uses the stack and can be responded to. Notably, this means that you can’t pay a cost of “2, Discard a card” by discarding a land card and using the produced to pay for the 2.

  • 2025-02-07

    If you discard a card as a cost to cast a spell or activate an ability, this creature’s triggered ability resolves before that spell or ability but after you’ve chosen targets for it. If you discard a card while a spell or ability is resolving, the triggered ability resolves after you’ve finished resolving that spell or ability.

  • 2025-02-07

    This creature’s abilities are triggered abilities, not activated abilities. They don’t allow you to discard a card whenever you want; rather, you need some other way of discarding a card (such as cycling).

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

Every version of Bone Miser

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 Bone Miser — 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.
