What it does

Flying

As Talion enters, choose a number between 1 and 10.

Whenever an opponent casts a spell with mana value, power, or toughness equal to the chosen number, that player loses 2 life and you draw a card.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2023-09-01

    Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a spell don't affect that spell's mana value.

  • 2023-09-01

    The numbers you may choose include 1 and 10.

  • 2023-09-01

    For spells with X in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine if the spell's mana value is the chosen number. For example, if the chosen number is 4, a spell with mana cost X cast with X equal to 2 would cause Talion's last ability to trigger.

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

4 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 Talion, the Kindly Lord — 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.
