When this creature enters, create a 1/1 black and green Pest creature token with "Whenever this token attacks, you gain 1 life."

At the beginning of your end step, if a creature died under your control this turn, draw a card.

Combos with Essenceknit Scholar

Lines this card is part of — what it needs alongside it, and what the two of them do. An infinite result is the one that moves a deck's bracket.

Rulings

One official ruling, as Wizards published it.

  • 2026-03-20

    Essenceknit Scholar's last ability will check as your end step starts to see if a creature died under your control this turn. If none did, the ability won't trigger at all. It's not possible to cause a creature to die during your end step in time to have the ability trigger.

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

Every version of Essenceknit Scholar

1 printing, 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 Essenceknit Scholar — 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.
