Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2022-04-29

    If you pay the casualty cost of a spell, the copy will resolve before the original spell.

  • 2022-04-29

    You may sacrifice only one creature to pay a spell's casualty cost, and you copy the spell only once.

  • 2022-04-29

    The copy of the spell is created on the stack, so it's not “cast.” Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.

  • 2022-04-29

    Casualty N means “As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice a creature with power N or greater.” and “When you cast this spell, if a casualty cost was paid for it, copy it. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targets for the copy.”

  • 2022-04-29

    If you cast Cut Your Losses and copy it targeting the same player, that player will mill half their library, then mill half of what remains after that. They do not mill their entire library.

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

Every version of Cut Your Losses

4 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 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 Cut Your Losses. 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.
