Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2024-06-07

    If a creature somehow loses all of its +1/+1 counters, it can adapt again and get more +1/+1 counters.

  • 2024-06-07

    You can always activate an ability that will cause a creature to adapt. As that ability resolves, if the creature has a +1/+1 counter on it for any reason, you simply won't put any +1/+1 counters on it.

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

Every version of Evolution Witness

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 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 Evolution Witness — 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.
