Perplex
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
What it does
Counter target spell unless its controller discards their hand.
Transmute 1 ({1}{U}{B}, Discard this card: Search your library for a card with the same mana value as this card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle. Transmute only as a sorcery.)
Rulings
One official ruling, as Wizards published it.
- 2005-10-01
If the spell’s controller has no cards in their hand, that player can still choose to discard their hand and prevent the spell from being countered.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Perplex. 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.
