Shimmercreep

Creature — Elemental MV 5

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Menace (This creature can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.)

Vivid — When this creature enters, each opponent loses X life and you gain X life, where X is the number of colors among permanents you control.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2025-11-17

    Lands are normally colorless permanents, even if they tap for mana of a certain color.

  • 2025-11-17

    The value of X is calculated only once, as Shimmercreep's last ability resolves.

  • 2025-11-17

    The colors are white, blue, black, red, and green. Colorless is not a color.

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

Every version of Shimmercreep

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 Shimmercreep — 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.
