Rulings
One official ruling, as Wizards published it.
- 2025-07-25
If Insight Engine leaves the battlefield before its ability resolves, it won’t have a charge counter put on it when the ability resolves. Use the number of charge counters on it as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how many cards to draw.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

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.
