Quiet Contemplation card art

Quiet Contemplation

Enchantment MV 3

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, you may pay 1. If you do, tap target creature an opponent controls and it doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2014-09-20

    The ability tracks the creature, but not its controller. If the creature changes controllers before its first controller’s next untap step has come around, then it won’t untap during its new controller’s next untap step.

  • 2014-09-20

    The ability can target a creature that’s already tapped. It still won’t untap during its controller’s next untap step.

  • 2014-09-20

    You decide whether to pay 1 as the triggered ability resolves.

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

Every version of Quiet Contemplation

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 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 Quiet Contemplation. 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.
