Martial Coup
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
Jump to section ▾
What it does
Create X 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens. If X is 5 or more, destroy all other creatures.
Rulings
3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2009-02-01
Martial Coup checks the number you chose for X, not the amount of mana you actually spent.
- 2009-02-01
You do what the spell says in order. If X is 5 or more, you'll put the Soldier tokens onto the battlefield, then you'll destroy all other creatures.
- 2009-02-01
No one can cast spells or activate abilities between the time the Soldier tokens are put onto the battlefield and the time all other creatures are destroyed. For example, you can't sacrifice one of those Soldier tokens to regenerate a Skeletal Kathari.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Martial Coup. 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.
