What it does

Flying

At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice another artifact. If you can't, tap this creature and you lose 4 life.

Rulings

One official ruling, as Wizards published it.

  • 2004-12-01

    Sacrificing an artifact isn't optional. If you control an artifact other than Rust Elemental, you must sacrifice it. Otherwise, you must tap Rust Elemental and lose 4 life.

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

Every version of Rust Elemental

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 Rust Elemental. 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.
