Rulings

10 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2016-08-23

    No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.

  • 2016-08-23

    If a creature with an enters-the-battlefield council's dilemma ability leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, players can still vote for any option that would put +1/+1 counters on that creature, even though—or perhaps especially because—those votes won't generate an effect.

  • 2016-08-23

    Players can't do anything between voting and finishing the resolution of the spell or ability that included the vote.

  • 2016-08-23

    The effects of each council's dilemma ability happen in the stated order. First the vote occurs, then the first effect, and finally the second effect.

  • 2016-08-23

    Unlike the will of the council cards from the original Conspiracy set, where a majority of votes determined what happened, each vote made for a council's dilemma card adds to the ultimate effect.

  • 2016-08-23

    You must vote for one of the available options. You can't abstain.

  • 2016-08-23

    Because the votes are made in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.

  • 2024-09-20

    No player votes until Expropriate resolves. Any responses to the spell must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.

  • 2024-09-20

    Each player must vote for one of the available options. They can't abstain.

  • 2024-09-20

    Votes are cast in turn order, and each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.

4 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 Expropriate. 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.
