Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2013-10-17

    Ophiomancer's ability checks if you control a Snake at the beginning of each upkeep. If you do, the ability won't trigger.

  • 2013-10-17

    If the ability does trigger, but you control a Snake when it tries to resolve, the ability will do nothing. No Snake token will be created.

  • 2013-10-17

    Ophiomancer's ability considers any creature you control with the creature type Snake, not just the tokens Ophiomancer creates.

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

Every version of Ophiomancer

6 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 Ophiomancer — 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.
