What it does

When Old Rutstein enters and at the beginning of your upkeep, mill a card. If a land card is milled this way, create a Treasure token. If a creature card is milled this way, create a 1/1 green Insect creature token. If a noncreature, nonland card is milled this way, create a Blood token.

Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2021-11-19

    If you mill Dryad Arbor, a card that's both a creature and a land, you get both a Treasure token and a 1/1 green Insect token.

  • 2025-01-24

    You can't sacrifice a Blood token to pay multiple costs.

  • 2025-01-24

    Some triggered abilities trigger "whenever you sacrifice a Blood token." These abilities trigger regardless of why you sacrificed that Blood token.

  • 2025-01-24

    If an effect refers to a Blood token, it means any artifact token with the subtype Blood, even if it has gained other subtypes.

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

Every version of Old Rutstein

4 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 Old Rutstein — 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.
