What it does

The owner of target permanent shuffles it into their library, then reveals the top card of their library. If it's a permanent card, they put it onto the battlefield.

Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2011-09-22

    If the revealed card is not a permanent card, it remains on top of that library.

  • 2011-09-22

    The owner of a token is the player under whose control the token was put onto the battlefield. If a token is shuffled into a player's library this way, that player shuffles before revealing the top card of that library.

  • 2011-09-22

    If the revealed card is a permanent card but can't enter (perhaps because it's an Aura with nothing to enchant), it remains on top of that library.

  • 2011-09-22

    If the permanent is an illegal target by the time Chaos Warp tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will occur. No library will be shuffled and no card will be revealed.

  • 2011-09-22

    A permanent card is a card with one or more of the following card types: artifact, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker.

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

Every version of Chaos Warp

54 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 Chaos Warp — 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.
