Rulings
One official ruling, as Wizards published it.
- 2024-06-07
If a creature card has "*" in its toughness, the ability that defines its toughness works in all zones. For example, if Nethergoyf is in your library, its toughness is determined by the ability "Nethergoyf's power is equal to the number of card types among cards in your graveyard and its toughness is equal to that number plus 1." If your graveyard consists of an artifact card, a creature card, and an instant card, you won't be able to find Nethergoyf with Recruiter of the Guard since Nethergoyf's toughness will be 4.
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 Recruiter of the Guard. 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.
