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

    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.

  • 2009-02-01

    Martial Coup checks the number you chose for X, not the amount of mana you actually spent.

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

Every version of Martial Coup

16 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 Martial Coup — 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.
