Kalemne's Captain

Creature — Giant Soldier MV 5

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Vigilance

5: Monstrosity 3. (If this creature isn't monstrous, put three +1/+1 counters on it and it becomes monstrous.)

When this creature becomes monstrous, exile all artifacts and enchantments.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2015-11-04

    Monstrous isn’t an ability that the creature has. It’s just something true about that creature. If the creature stops being a creature or loses its abilities, it continues to be monstrous.

  • 2015-11-04

    Once a creature becomes monstrous, it can’t become monstrous again. If Kalemne’s Captain is already monstrous, the activated ability won’t do anything.

  • 2015-11-04

    An ability that triggers when a creature becomes monstrous won’t trigger if that creature isn’t on the battlefield when its monstrosity ability resolves.

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

Every version of Kalemne's Captain

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 Kalemne's Captain — 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.
