Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2023-11-10

    The token copies exactly what was printed on the original card and nothing else, except the characteristics it specifically modifies.

  • 2023-11-10

    Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied card will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters the battlefield" or "[this creature] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the copied card will also work.

  • 2023-11-10

    If the copied card has X in its mana cost, X is 0.

Every version of Dino DNA

2 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 Dino DNA. 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.
