Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2016-11-08

    If you cast Entrapment Maneuver after combat damage has been dealt, only creatures that survived combat can be sacrificed.

  • 2016-11-08

    Entrapment Maneuver doesn't target the creature to be sacrificed. The target player chooses one as it resolves. No player may take any other actions between the target player choosing the creature and you creating Soldier tokens.

  • 2016-11-08

    To determine how many Soldier tokens are created, use the toughness of the sacrificed creature as it last existed on the battlefield.

  • 2016-11-08

    An "attacking creature" is one that has been declared as an attacker or put onto the battlefield attacking during this combat. Unless that creature leaves combat, it continues to be an attacking creature through the end of combat step, even if the player it was attacking has left the game or the planeswalker it was attacking has left combat.

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

Every version of Entrapment Maneuver

7 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 Entrapment Maneuver — 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.
