What it does

Flying, vigilance

Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2024-07-26

    While resolving Starseer Mentor’s last ability, the target opponent chooses a card to be discarded without revealing it, chooses a nonland permanent to be sacrificed, or chooses to do neither. Then that player discards that card, sacrifices that permanent, or loses 3 life. That player can always choose to lose 3 life, even if they have cards to discard or nonland permanents to sacrifice.

  • 2024-07-26

    Starseer Mentor’s ability cares whether you gained or lost life this turn, not how your life total changed. For example, if you gained 2 life and lost 2 life in the same turn, you still gained and lost life that turn, even though your life total is the same as it was at the start of the turn.

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

Every version of Starseer Mentor

1 printing, 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.

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