Olórin's Searing Light

Instant MV 4

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Each opponent exiles a creature with the greatest power among creatures that player controls.

Spell mastery — If there are two or more instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard, Olórin's Searing Light deals damage to each opponent equal to the power of the creature they exiled.

Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2023-11-03

    First, the active player (or, if it's not an opponent's turn, the next opponent in turn order) chooses which creature they'll exile, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, knowing choices made before their choice. Then all those creatures are exiled simultaneously.

  • 2023-11-03

    Check to see if there are two or more instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard as the spell resolves to determine whether the spell mastery ability applies. The spell itself won't count because it's still on the stack as you make this check.

  • 2023-11-03

    If a player controls two or more creatures tied for the greatest power among creatures they control, that player chooses one of them to exile.

  • 2023-11-03

    Use the power of each exiled creature as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how much damage is dealt to each opponent.

Every version of Olórin's Searing Light

2 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 Olórin's Searing Light. 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.
