What it does

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may cast a permanent spell from your hand with mana value equal to 1 plus the greatest mana value among other permanents you control without paying its mana cost. If you don't, scry 1.

Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2021-02-05

    If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.

  • 2021-02-05

    A permanent spell is an artifact spell, a creature spell, an enchantment spell, or a planeswalker spell.

  • 2021-02-05

    Consider the other permanents you control as the triggered ability resolves to determine which spell you can cast. If the only other permanents you control are lands, or in the unlikely event you don't control any other permanents, you may cast a permanent spell with mana value 1 from your hand.

  • 2021-02-05

    If the spell you cast has X in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X.

  • 2021-02-05

    If a permanent has X in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

4 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 In Search of Greatness — 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.
