What it does

Target player draws three cards. Then that player discards two cards unless they discard a land card.

Rulings

One official ruling, as Wizards published it.

  • 2017-03-14

    The target player can discard either one land card or two cards which may or may not be lands. The player can discard one land and one other card or two land cards if they choose.

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

12 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 Compulsive Research — 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.
