Rulings

6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2018-10-05

    Price of Fame can target a creature that's indestructible. It won't be destroyed, but you'll surveil.

  • 2018-10-05

    You'll surveil before resolving any abilities that trigger on the target creature dying.

  • 2018-10-05

    Price of Fame's mana value is 4, even if it costs 2 less to cast.

  • 2024-01-12

    You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, you'll surveil last. For others, you'll surveil and then perform other actions.

  • 2024-01-12

    When you surveil, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards into your graveyard, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them into your graveyard.

  • 2024-01-12

    Some spells that instruct you to surveil require targets. You can't cast a spell without choosing legal targets. If all of those targets become illegal, the spell doesn't resolve and you won't surveil.

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

Every version of Price of Fame

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 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 Price of Fame. 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.
