Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2023-07-28

    The ability can't reduce the amount of colored mana you pay for a spell. It reduces only the generic mana component of that cost.

  • 2023-07-28

    The ability doesn't change the mana cost or mana value of any spell. It changes only the total cost you pay.

  • 2023-07-28

    The cost reduction can apply to alternative costs such as flashback costs.

  • 2023-07-28

    If there are additional costs to cast a spell, or if the cost to cast a spell is increased by an effect (such as the one created by Thalia, Guardian of Thraben's ability), apply those increases before applying cost reductions.

  • 2023-07-28

    If a spell you cast has X in its mana cost, you choose the value of X before calculating the spell's total cost.

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

Every version of Ruby Medallion

8 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 Ruby Medallion — 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.
