Master of the Pearl Trident card art

Master of the Pearl Trident

Creature — Merfolk MV 2

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Other Merfolk creatures you control get +1/+1 and have islandwalk. (They can't be blocked as long as defending player controls an Island.)

Rulings

One official ruling, as Wizards published it.

  • 2021-03-19

    Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a Merfolk you control may become lethal if Master of the Pearl Trident leaves the battlefield during that turn.

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

4 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 Master of the Pearl Trident — 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.
