Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2025-06-06

    If an effect restarts the game, Starting Town will enter tapped in the new game unless it's your first, second, or third turn of that game.

  • 2025-06-06

    Starting Town's first ability cares about how many turns you have taken, not necessarily how many turns the game has had, in case you take an extra turn.

  • 2025-06-06

    A creature attacks alone if it's the only creature declared as an attacker during the declare attackers step (including creatures controlled by your teammates, if applicable). For example, Squall's first ability won't trigger if you attack with multiple creatures and all but one of them are removed from combat. Similarly, creatures that enter the battlefield attacking later in combat won't be considered when determining whether or not a creature attacked alone.

  • 2025-06-06

    If Starting Town enters during another player's turn, it'll enter tapped no matter how many turns they've taken.

  • 2025-06-06

    If a card in your graveyard has X in its mana cost, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.

6 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 Squall, SeeD Mercenary — 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.
