Pongify
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
Jump to section ▾
What it does
Destroy target creature. It can't be regenerated. Its controller creates a 3/3 green Ape creature token.
Rulings
One official ruling, as Wizards published it.
- 2021-03-19
If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Pongify tries to resolve, the spell won't resolve. No player creates an Ape token. If the target is legal but not destroyed (most likely because it has indestructible), its controller does create an Ape token.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

12 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 Pongify — 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.
