Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2016-09-20

    If a permanent has X in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

  • 2016-09-20

    Metalwork Colossus's last ability can be activated only if it is in your graveyard.

  • 2016-09-20

    Once a player has announced that they are casting Metalwork Colossus, no player may take actions to try to change the number of artifacts its controller controls before that spell's cost is locked in.

  • 2016-09-20

    The total cost to cast Metalwork Colossus is locked in before you pay that cost. For example, if you control three noncreature artifacts each with mana value 2, including one you can sacrifice to add , the total cost of Metalwork Colossus is 5. Then you can sacrifice the artifact when you activate mana abilities just before paying the cost.

  • 2016-09-20

    If the total mana value of noncreature artifacts you control is 11 or greater, Metalwork Colossus costs 0 to cast.

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

Every version of Metalwork Colossus

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 Metalwork Colossus — 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.
