What it does

Vigilance

When this creature enters, each player chooses an artifact, a creature, an enchantment, and a planeswalker from among the nonland permanents they control, then sacrifices the rest.

Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2016-09-20

    First the player whose turn it is chooses permanents they control, then each other player in turn order does the same. Each player will know the choices made by players who chose before them. All of the unchosen nonland permanents are then sacrificed simultaneously.

  • 2016-09-20

    Lands can't be chosen and won't be sacrificed, even if they have other types (such as an artifact land).

  • 2016-09-20

    A permanent with more than one type may be chosen as either of the types or both. For example, an artifact creature may be chosen as the artifact, the creature, or both. Choosing the same permanent twice this way has the same result as choosing it once.

  • 2016-09-20

    Cataclysmic Gearhulk will be sacrificed to its own ability if you don't choose it as your artifact or your creature.

  • 2016-09-20

    If you don't control any permanents of one of the types, you'll still choose the permanents of the types you do control.

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

Every version of Cataclysmic Gearhulk

7 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 Cataclysmic Gearhulk — 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.
