What it does

Combustion Technique deals damage equal to 2 plus the number of Lesson cards in your graveyard to target creature. If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead.

Rulings

One official ruling, as Wizards published it.

  • 2025-10-02

    Combustion Technique's replacement effect will exile the target creature if it would die this turn for any reason, not just due to lethal damage.

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

Every version of Combustion Technique

2 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 Combustion Technique — 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.
