• Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield if its power is less than or equal to the sacrificed creature's power.
• Destroy target creature.
Rulings
One official ruling, as Wizards published it.
- 2025-10-02
Because you select targets for Desperate Plea before paying its additional cost, the first mode cannot target and return the creature you sacrificed.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

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.
