Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2023-06-16

    If an effect instructs you to sacrifice a creature, and you control any creatures other than the ones you gained control of with Call for Aid this turn, you must sacrifice one of them. You can't try to sacrifice one of the creatures you gained control of, fail, and therefore ignore the effect.

  • 2023-06-16

    You can't sacrifice the creatures you gained control of with Call for Aid this turn for any reason. If an effect instructs you to sacrifice one of them, you can't and it remains on the battlefield. You also can't sacrifice any of them to pay a cost that requires you to sacrifice a creature.

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

Every version of Call for Aid

3 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 Call for Aid — 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.
