Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2013-09-15

    The activated ability doesn't target any creature or make any specific creature have to block. Activating it more than once in a turn provides no additional benefit.

  • 2013-09-15

    If Loathsome Catoblepas is attacking and its activated ability has resolved, the defending player must assign at least one blocker to it during the declare blockers step if that player controls any creatures that could block it.

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.
