What it does

Attacking tokens you control have double strike.

Whenever one or more tokens you control attack a player, exile the top card of your library. During any turn you attacked with a token, you may play that card.

Rulings

6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2023-02-04

    The card Neyali exiles is exiled face up.

  • 2023-02-04

    You can cast the exiled card if the token that attacked is still in combat, if it's left combat, if it's left the battlefield, or even if combat is over.

  • 2023-02-04

    Neyali's effect doesn't change when you can cast the exiled card. For example, if you exile a sorcery card, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.

  • 2023-02-04

    Casting an exiled card causes it to leave exile. You can't cast it multiple times.

  • 2023-02-04

    The second ability of Neyali, Suns' Vanguard triggers for each player you are attacking with one or more tokens. It does not trigger if you are attacking a planeswalker a player controls, but not that player.

  • 2023-02-04

    The effect allowing you to cast the exiled card if you attacked with a token continues to apply even if Neyali leaves the battlefield or another player gains control of it. It also continues to apply during later turns—as long as you attacked with a token during those later turns.

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

Every version of Neyali, Suns' Vanguard

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 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 Neyali, Suns' Vanguard — 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.
