Queen's Bay Paladin
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
What it does
Whenever this creature enters or attacks, return up to one target Vampire card from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. You lose life equal to its mana value. (If a creature with a finality counter on it would die, exile it instead.)
Rulings
4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2023-11-10
Finality counters work on any permanent, not only creatures. If a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into a graveyard from the battlefield, exile it instead.
- 2023-11-10
Finality counters don't stop permanents from going to zones other than the graveyard from the battlefield. For example, if a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into its owner's hand from the battlefield, it does so normally.
- 2023-11-10
Multiple finality counters on a single permanent are redundant.
- 2023-11-10
Finality counters aren't keyword counters, and a finality counter doesn't give any abilities to the permanent it's on. If that permanent loses its abilities and then would go to a graveyard, it will still be exiled instead.
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 Queen's Bay Paladin. 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.
