Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2008-10-01

    Hindering Light can target a spell that has multiple targets, as long as at least one of those targets is you or a permanent you control.

  • 2008-10-01

    You may choose to target a spell that “can’t be countered.” If you do, the first part of Hindering Light’s effect won’t do anything, but you’ll still get to draw a card.

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

Every version of Hindering Light

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 Hindering Light. 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.
