Ravenous Tyrannosaurus

Creature — Dinosaur MV 6

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Devour 3 (As this creature enters, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. It enters with three times that many +1/+1 counters on it.)

Whenever this creature attacks, it deals damage equal to its power to up to one other target creature. Excess damage is dealt to that creature's controller instead.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2023-11-10

    Ravenous Tyrannosaurus can't devour creatures entering the battlefield at the same time as it.

  • 2023-11-10

    Once you've determined how much damage is excess, Ravenous Tyrannosaurus simultaneously deals damage to the target creature and its controller. This damage may be modified by replacement or prevention effects.

  • 2023-11-10

    Excess damage is calculated in a way similar to the way trample is handled. Start with the amount of damage being dealt to the creature and determine what is lethal. Usually, this is the creature's toughness minus the damage already marked on it, ignoring any replacement or prevention effects that will modify this damage. Also ignore whether the creature won't actually be destroyed by this damage, perhaps because it has indestructible.

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

Every version of Ravenous Tyrannosaurus

3 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 Ravenous Tyrannosaurus — 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.
