What it does

Crackling Doom deals 2 damage to each opponent. Each opponent sacrifices a creature with the greatest power among creatures that player controls.

Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2014-09-20

    In a multiplayer game, each opponent, starting with the active player and proceeding in turn order, chooses which creature they will sacrifice and then all creatures are sacrificed at the same time. Each successive player will know what the players before them chose to sacrifice.

  • 2014-09-20

    Crackling Doom doesn't target any player or creature. For example, a creature with protection from black could be sacrificed.

  • 2014-09-20

    The sacrifice is not dependent on the damage being dealt. It doesn't matter if that damage is prevented or redirected.

  • 2014-09-20

    If a player controls two or more creatures tied for the greatest power among creatures they control, that player chooses one of them to sacrifice.

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

Every version of Crackling Doom

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 Crackling Doom — 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.
