Descendants' Path card art

Descendants' Path

Enchantment MV 3

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

At the beginning of your upkeep, reveal the top card of your library. If it's a creature card that shares a creature type with a creature you control, you may cast it without paying its mana cost. If you don't cast it, put it on the bottom of your library.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2012-05-01

    If the revealed card is a creature card that shares a creature type with a creature you control, but you choose not to cast it, it's put on the bottom of your library. (This is a recent change.)

  • 2012-05-01

    If you cast a card "without paying its mana cost," you can't pay any alternative costs. You can pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.

  • 2012-05-01

    If the card has X in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as its value.

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

Every version of Descendants' Path

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 Descendants' Path. 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.
