Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2021-09-24

    Decayed does not grant haste. Creatures with decayed that enter the battlefield during your turn may not attack until your next turn.

  • 2021-09-24

    Once a creature with decayed attacks, it will be sacrificed at end of combat, even if it no longer has decayed at that time.

  • 2021-09-24

    Decayed represents a static ability and a triggered ability. “Decayed” means “This creature can't block” and “When this creature attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat.”

  • 2021-09-24

    Decayed does not create any attacking requirements. You may choose not to attack with a creature that has decayed.

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

Every version of Crowded Crypt

3 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 Crowded Crypt — 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.
