Gnawing Crescendo card art

Gnawing Crescendo

Instant MV 3

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Creatures you control get +2/+0 until end of turn. Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies this turn, create a 1/1 black Rat creature token with "This token can't block."

Rulings

One official ruling, as Wizards published it.

  • 2023-09-01

    Only creatures you control when Gnawing Crescendo resolves will get +2/+0. However, if a nontoken creature enters the battlefield after Gnawing Crescendo resolves and then dies while under your control later that turn, you'll create a Rat token.

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

Every version of Gnawing Crescendo

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 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 Gnawing Crescendo. 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.
