What it does

Monstrous Onslaught deals X damage divided as you choose among any number of target creatures, where X is the greatest power among creatures you control as you cast this spell.

Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2020-11-10

    You divide the damage among the target creatures as you cast Monstrous Onslaught. Each target must be assigned at least 1 damage.

  • 2020-11-10

    The value of X is determined at the time you divide damage. It won't change later, even if the greatest power among creatures you control changes.

  • 2020-11-10

    If some of the targets become illegal, the original division of damage still applies. The damage that was divided among the illegal targets simply isn't dealt; it isn't re-assigned to remaining legal targets.

  • 2020-11-10

    The damage is dealt by Monstrous Onslaught, not by the creature with the greatest power among creatures you control.

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

3 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 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 Monstrous Onslaught. 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.
