Talion, the Kindly Lord
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
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.

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. 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.
