What it does

Enchant creature

Whenever enchanted creature attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on it. Then if it has three or more +1/+1 counters on it, sacrifice this Aura.

When you sacrifice this Aura, you gain 10 life.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2013-09-15

    If you sacrifice the Ordeal in some other way, its last ability will trigger.

  • 2013-09-15

    The +1/+1 counter is put on the creature before blockers are declared and before combat damage is dealt.

  • 2013-09-15

    The check of whether the enchanted creature has three or more +1/+1 counters on it happens as part of the resolution of the attack triggered ability. If the third +1/+1 counter is put on the enchanted creature any other way, you won't sacrifice the Ordeal until the next time the creature attacks.

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

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 Ordeal of Heliod. 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.
