What it does

Destroy all blocking creatures and all blocked creatures.

Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2009-05-01

    If Fight to the Death is cast before blockers are declared or after combat ends, it won’t do anything.

  • 2009-05-01

    A “blocked creature” is an attacking creature that has been blocked by a creature this combat, or has become blocked as the result of a spell or ability this combat. Unless the attacking creature leaves combat, it continues to be a blocked creature through the end of combat step, even if the creature or creatures that blocked it are no longer on the battlefield or have otherwise left combat by then.

  • 2009-05-01

    A “blocking creature” is one that has been declared as a blocker this combat, or one that was put onto the battlefield blocking this combat. Unless that creature leaves combat, it continues to be a blocking creature through the end of combat step, even if the creature or creatures that it was blocking are no longer on the battlefield or have otherwise left combat by then.

  • 2009-05-01

    Attacking creatures that haven’t been blocked are unaffected by Fight to the Death.

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

Every version of Fight to the Death

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 Fight to the Death. 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.
