What it does

Each spell costs 3 more to cast except during its controller's turn.

Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2004-10-04

    The additional cost can be reduced by effects that reduce costs, such as Sapphire Medallion.

  • 2006-05-01

    In Two-Headed Giant, spells don't cost extra on your own turn.

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

Every version of Defense Grid

10 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 Defense Grid — 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.
