2, T, Sacrifice a Desert: Exile all graveyards.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2017-04-18

    Desert is a land subtype with no special meaning. It doesn't grant the land an intrinsic mana ability. Other cards may care about which lands are Deserts.

  • 2017-07-14

    If a Desert has an ability with a cost of "Sacrifice a Desert," you can sacrifice that Desert to pay the cost for its own ability.

  • 2017-07-14

    The sacrificed Desert will be in your graveyard to be exiled by the last ability of Scavenger Grounds.

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

Every version of Scavenger Grounds

19 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 publishes none for some of them. Click a card's art to chart that version's price above.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Scavenger Grounds. 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.
