Day of Black Sun

Sorcery MV 2

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Each creature with mana value X or less loses all abilities until end of turn. Destroy those creatures.

Rulings

One official ruling, as Wizards published it.

  • 2025-10-02

    If a creature with an ability that triggers when that creature dies or leaves the battlefield loses that ability and is then destroyed, that ability will not trigger. Those types of triggers need to exist on the battlefield in order to work. Any abilities that trigger when a creature card is "put into the graveyard from anywhere" would still trigger, because those abilities function from the graveyard, where the card is a new object that still has the ability.

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

Every version of Day of Black Sun

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 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 Day of Black Sun — 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.
