Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2025-07-25

    If the target permanent is an illegal target as Mental Modulation tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t draw a card.

  • 2025-07-25

    To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

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

Every version of Mental Modulation

1 printing, 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 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 Mental Modulation. 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.
