Rulings

One official ruling, as Wizards published it.

  • 2024-04-12

    You don’t choose a target for Ruthless Lawbringer’s ability at the time it triggers. Rather, a second “reflexive” ability triggers when you sacrifice another creature this way. You choose a target for that ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal. Notably, the triggered ability isn’t a crime, but the reflexive triggered ability potentially is.

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

Every version of Ruthless Lawbringer

2 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 Ruthless Lawbringer — 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.
