Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2011-06-01

    You may choose a value for X that’s greater than the number of counters on the targeted permanent. However, Hex Parasite only gets the bonus for counters actually removed.

  • 2011-06-01

    If the permanent has multiple kinds of counters, you choose how many of each to remove when the ability resolves.

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

Every version of Hex Parasite

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 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 Hex Parasite — 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.
