Ruthless Lawbringer
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
What it does
When this creature enters, you may sacrifice another creature. When you do, destroy target nonland permanent.
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.

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. 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.
