Gollum, Riddle Master card art

Gollum, Riddle Master

Legendary Creature — Halfling Horror MV 2

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

As Gollum enters, choose odd or even. (Zero is even.)

Whenever an opponent casts a spell with mana value of the chosen quality, choose one that hasn't been chosen —

• Put a +1/+1 counter on Gollum.

• Each opponent loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.

• Draw a card.

Rulings

One official ruling, as Wizards published it.

  • 2026-06-29

    If all three modes have been chosen, Gollum's triggered ability is removed from the stack with no effect, but Gollum remains on the battlefield.

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

Every version of Gollum, Riddle Master

3 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 Gollum, Riddle Master — 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.
