Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2019-05-03

    Mayhem Devil itself doesn't allow any player to sacrifice any permanents. Its ability triggers whenever a player sacrifices a permanent because some other spell, ability, or cost instructed the player to do so.

  • 2019-05-03

    You control Mayhem Devil's triggered ability and choose the target, no matter who sacrificed the permanent.

  • 2019-05-03

    If you sacrifice Mayhem Devil, its ability triggers.

  • 2019-05-03

    A legendary permanent that is put into a graveyard because of the "legend rule" isn't sacrificed.

  • 2019-05-03

    If a permanent is sacrificed to pay a cost of a spell or ability, Mayhem Devil's ability will resolve before that spell or ability. Conversely, if a permanent is sacrificed during the resolution of a spell or ability, that spell or ability will finish resolving before Mayhem Devil's ability is put onto the stack.

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

8 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 Mayhem Devil — 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.
