What it does

Lifelink

At the beginning of your end step, if you haven't cast a spell from your hand this turn, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.

4: Until end of turn, if you would put one or more +1/+1 counters on a creature you control, put that many plus one +1/+1 counters on it instead.

Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2024-04-12

    If two or more effects attempt to modify how many counters would be put onto a permanent you control, you choose the order to apply those effects, no matter who controls the sources of those effects.

  • 2024-04-12

    At the beginning of your end step, Prairie Dog’s triggered ability will check to see if you’ve cast a spell from your hand this turn. If you have, the ability won’t trigger at all. If the ability does trigger, it will check again as it tries to resolve. If you’ve cast a spell from your hand since the ability triggered, the ability won’t do anything.

  • 2024-04-12

    You can activate Prairie Dog’s last ability multiple times in a single turn. If it resolves twice, the number of +1/+1 counters put on a creature you control is two plus the original number. Three activations and resolutions add three, and so on.

  • 2024-04-12

    If a creature you control would enter the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters on it on a turn where Prairie Dog’s last ability has resolved once, it enters with that many plus one instead.

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

Every version of Prairie Dog

1 printing, 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 Prairie Dog — 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.
