What it does
Choose a creature type. Creatures that aren't of the chosen type get -3/-3 until end of turn.
Rulings
3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2021-02-05
You choose the creature type as Crippling Fear resolves, and then creatures not of that type get -3/-3. Once Crippling Fear starts to resolve, players can't respond to the choice or take any actions until Crippling Fear finishes resolving.
- 2021-02-05
You must choose an existing creature type, such as Fish or Artificer. You can't choose card types (e.g., artifact) or supertypes (e.g., snow).
- 2021-02-05
Crippling Fear affects only creatures that aren't of the chosen type that are on the battlefield as it resolves. It won't affect creatures that enter the battlefield later in the turn, regardless of creature type. If a creature changes creature types later in the turn, Crippling Fear won't start or stop affecting that creature.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Crippling Fear. It runs a name search across every version, which covers 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.
