What it does

Each player chooses a creature type. Each player returns all creature cards of a type chosen this way from their graveyard to the battlefield.

Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2021-06-18

    You must choose a creature type, such as Elf or Shaman. You can't choose other card types such as artifact or supertypes such as legendary.

  • 2021-06-18

    The player whose turn it is chooses a creature type first, followed by each other player in turn order. Then, all creature cards that have one or more of the chosen types are returned to the battlefield at the same time.

  • 2021-06-18

    Any player may choose a creature type that's already been chosen. Doing so won't affect which creature cards are returned to the battlefield.

  • 2021-06-18

    Each player may choose any creature type, even if they don't have any creature cards of that type in their graveyard.

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

Every version of Patriarch's Bidding

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 Patriarch's Bidding — 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.
