What it does

When this creature enters, each player sacrifices a creature or planeswalker of their choice. Each player who can't discards a card.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2018-10-05

    Each player chooses a permanent to sacrifice from among the creatures and planeswalkers they control. You don't choose which type of permanent any other player has to sacrifice.

  • 2018-10-05

    Plaguecrafter can be the creature its controller sacrifices for its own ability.

  • 2018-10-05

    As Plaguecrafter's ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is chooses a creature or planeswalker they control, then each other player in turn order does the same, knowing the choices made before them. Then all the chosen permanents are sacrificed at the same time. Next, each player in the same order who couldn't sacrifice a permanent chooses a card in hand without revealing it, then the chosen cards are discarded at the same time.

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

Every version of Plaguecrafter

8 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 Plaguecrafter — 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.
